Women Experience Chronic Pain Due To Bone And Joint Issue, Explained

On National Bone and Joint Health Day, experts highlight why women often experience more chronic pain due to bone and joint issues compared to men. The causes and effects of these problems differ significantly between the genders, requiring specialized treatment approaches.

For men, higher participation in contact sports, exposure to occupational hazards, and lifestyle factors such as poor diet and smoking contribute to bone and joint issues. In contrast, women face unique challenges. Hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases, and lower consumption of calcium and vitamin D are major factors affecting women’s bone health. These differences mean that treatment approaches must be tailored to address the specific needs of each gender.

Dr. Aprameya Joshi, explained, “Males are more prone to acute injuries from sports and other activities. Dr. Joshi is an Orthopaedic specialist at Ruby Hall Clinic. However, females often suffer from chronic pain due to hormonal shifts and long-term health conditions. Both genders have distinct bone and joint health issues. Recognizing these differences is crucial for developing effective treatments tailored to each gender’s needs. Understanding how various factors impact bone and joint pain can lead to better health outcomes.”

In India, postmenopausal women are particularly vulnerable to osteoporosis and osteoarthritis due to vitamin D deficiency, which is essential for bone health. To prevent severe bone and joint issues, it is vital to seek medical advice early, especially at the first signs of weakness or pain. Maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D and vitamin B12 is key to preventing these conditions.

Dr. Debashish Chanda, Lead Consultant in Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement at CK Birla Hospital, noted, “An estimated 70-90 percent of the Indian population suffers from vitamin D deficiency, critical for bone health. Postmenopausal women are especially at risk, with one in three women over 50 developing osteoporosis. To prevent such problems, it is essential to maintain high levels of vitamin D and vitamin B12.” The ideal level is between 80 and 90.
