What Is Joint Pain?
Joint pain is a common symptom experienced by some menopausal women. It refers to discomfort, stiffness, or aching in the joints, and it can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life. Estrogen, a hormone that declines during menopause, plays a vital role in maintaining joint health and lubrication. As estrogen levels decrease, changes in joint function and structure can lead to joint pain and discomfort.
