Frequently Asked Questions
Why does hip pain get worse during menopause?▾
Declining estrogen levels reduce cartilage thickness, increase inflammation in joint tissues, and alter collagen structure. This creates a perfect storm for joint pain and stiffness, particularly in weight-bearing joints like the hips.
Can exercise replace hormone therapy for hip pain?▾
Exercise is essential but works best combined with hormone optimization. BHRT and targeted physical therapy address both the hormonal and mechanical causes of menopausal hip pain for superior outcomes.
What exercises should I avoid with menopause hip pain?▾
Avoid high-impact activities like running or jumping until pain resolves. Skip deep squats and lunges initially. Focus on controlled movements that strengthen without triggering inflammation.
