What to do if you are calcium deficient during menopause

Women will slowly enter menopause after reaching middle age. Menopause has a huge impact on women. We may see women at this stage having mood swings, temper tantrums, and other symptoms. Not only that, many women are particularly prone to calcium deficiency during menopause. So, what should we do if we are deficient in calcium during menopause? Let’s find out through the following content!

After women enter menopause, their estrogen levels suddenly drop, and their ability to absorb calcium decreases sharply, making them prone to various symptoms of calcium deficiency, such as heel pain and osteoporosis. However, this symptom may only indicate the arrival of menopause if it occurs in women in their 48s and 49s and have already reached menopause. If similar symptoms occur before this age, it is recommended that you go to the orthopedics department of the hospital for a check-up.

If women show signs of calcium deficiency after entering menopause, no matter how much calcium they take, it will be difficult to absorb. Therefore, to protect bones, prevention must be started early. For example, develop a good habit of drinking milk and soy milk, consume more soy products, and pay attention to physical exercise. Try to avoid some exercises that are easy to hurt the knee joints, such as mountain climbing. Office women should do radio gymnastics once an hour. Even if you only do it for 5 or 10 minutes, as long as you can make it a regular exercise, it will protect and strengthen the bones of the whole body.

Many women think they are calcium deficient when they have back pain and blindly take various calcium supplements. Doctors remind them that they should have a bone density test in a regular hospital and then have a doctor determine whether they are calcium deficient, to what extent, how to supplement, and for how long. Because if individuals supplement randomly, it is easy to over-supplement and cause bone calcification.

Through the introduction above, I believe you already know what to do about calcium deficiency during menopause! There are many foods in our life that can supplement calcium, and it is very good to eat more soy products. Female friends, you should exercise more and maintain an optimistic attitude in your daily life. This will help you happily go through this different stage of menopause.
