The menopause is an often overlooked aspect of womanhood that is shrouded in stigma. It is all too often suffered in silence, despite the profound affect that it may have on a women’s life. Symptoms can last for many years. They can include hot flushes, night sweats, loss of libido and low mood, all impacted by changing hormone levels.
Bone and Joint Health
Less commonly acknowledged is the impact of the menopause on bone and joint health. This is despite joint pain affecting 40% of all menopausal women. Significantly more prevalent in women than men, joint stiffness is the most common contributor to impairment of quality of life and work in women of a menopausal age.
Menopausal joint pain is often mistaken as an inevitable part of the ‘ageing’ process. Whilst women may seek help for other symptoms, they struggle on with aching and painful joints. For many this results in a downward spiral of taking less exercise, weight gain and further joint pain.
