Why do I have knee pain during menstruation?

Some women will experience knee pain before their period. What is going on? Some women do not take it seriously at first, thinking that it will be fine after a few days of rest. However, if there is no improvement after a long time, they need to consider whether they have certain diseases. Therefore, women need to pay attention to knee pain during menstruation. Do not ignore it. It is necessary to get a check-up.

Women's menstrual joint pain is closely related to the body's water and salt metabolism. Before the menstrual period comes, the hormone levels in women's bodies begin to change significantly. The uncoordinated secretion of estrogen and aldosterone will cause the body to retain water and salt. There is a triangular gap in the human knee joint, which contains fat tissue. When water and salt are retained in these fat tissues, it can easily lead to swelling and nerve compression, causing joint pain.

Women can actually relieve joint pain symptoms by wearing high heels. You can try it. Because wearing high heels shifts a person's center of gravity, in order to maintain balance, the knee joints of the body will naturally bend slightly. This will make the triangular gap of the knee joint larger, thereby reducing pressure and relieving pain. If a woman has menstrual joint pain accompanied by general edema, she should seek medical attention promptly.

Joint pain during menstruation is mainly related to the disorder of water and salt metabolism in the body during menstruation. Before menstruation, the hormone levels in women's bodies fluctuate greatly. At this time, the secretion of estrogen and aldosterone is not coordinated, causing water and salt to be retained in the body. When too much water and salt accumulate in the body tissues, edema will appear to varying degrees in various parts of the body, most obviously in the face, hands, feet and other parts. There is a triangular gap in the human knee joint, which is filled with adipose tissue (infrapatellar fat pad), which plays an important role in the function of the joint. During menstruation, water and salt retention causes the fat pad to swell, which in turn compresses nerve endings. Therefore, some women will experience knee pain during menstruation.

The above introduces the causes of knee pain in women. Especially if such pain occurs during menstruation, it needs to be properly treated. Some women suffer from some bad living habits. For example, wearing high heels for a long time can also cause such problems. In the future, women should work hard to correct bad living habits.
