What’s wrong with a woman’s joint pain during menopause?

Finger joint pain can occur during menopause, and the causes may include osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. 1. The decrease of estrogen in menopausal women’s body aggravates bone loss and reduces bone formation, which can cause different degrees of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can cause bone and joint pains, and even fractures. 2. Menopausal women are usually around 50 years old, and their joints are in the stage of degeneration and overuse, which is the age when degenerative joint diseases (osteoarthritis) gradually become more common. Osteoarthritis of both hands occurs in women in this age group and is characterized by pain and bony enlargement of the joints of the hands. If you have pain in the joints of your fingers, please consult the Rheumatology and Immunology Department in a timely manner, and under the guidance of the doctor, complete the relevant examinations to make a clear diagnosis, and carry out standardized treatment as soon as possible.
