What causes leg pain in women?

There are many reasons for leg pain. In most cases, it is caused by physical fatigue. Of course, sometimes it is caused by excessive physical exertion and excessive fatigue. In addition to the above situations, some women always experience leg soreness in their daily lives, and they can't find the cause after thinking about it. So, what is the reason for women's leg pain?

1. Anemia

The presence or severity of anemia symptoms depends on the degree of anemia, the speed at which anemia occurs, whether there is a change in circulating blood volume, the patient's age, and the compensatory capacity of the cardiovascular system. Anemia occurs slowly and the body can gradually adapt. Even if the anemia is severe, physiological functions can still be maintained. On the contrary, if anemia occurs in a short period of time, even if the degree of anemia is not severe, obvious symptoms may appear. The symptoms are more obvious in the elderly and weak or those with decreased cardiopulmonary function.

2. Kidney deficiency

Kidney deficiency refers to the deficiency of kidney essence, qi, yin and yang. Symptoms of kidney deficiency: The symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are low back pain, cold limbs, fear of cold, and even edema, which are symptoms of "cold". Poor sexual function can also lead to kidney yang deficiency; the symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are "heat", mainly low back pain, dryness, night sweats, spontaneous sweats, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. Modern science has proven that when a person suffers from kidney deficiency, whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, it will lead to a decrease in the person's immune ability, the kidney's microcirculation system will also be blocked, and the kidney network will become blocked.

3. Sitting for long periods of time and lack of exercise

Sitting for a long time will slow down the blood circulation in the lower limbs and cause insufficient blood supply, leading to muscle fatigue. Lack of exercise leads to loose and weak muscles and ligaments, and gastrocnemius muscle weakness.

4. Endocrine diseases

Endocrine gland diseases can be divided into three groups according to the function of the endocrine glands:

① Hyperfunction. It is often accompanied by clinical symptoms caused by excessive hormone secretion from glandular hyperplasia and adenoma (cancer), such as primary aldosteronism and hyperparathyroidism.

② Functional decline. Due to the destruction of endocrine glands by various reasons (such as congenital developmental abnormalities, genetics, inflammation, fibrosis or autoimmunity, drugs, surgery and radiation, etc.), it causes insufficient hormone synthesis and secretion, such as anterior pituitary dysfunction and chronic adrenal cortex insufficiency.

③The function is normal but the glandular tissue structure is abnormal. For example, simple goiter and thyroid cancer have normal functions, but there are pathological changes in the tissue structure.
