What causes calf soreness before menstruation?

What is the reason for calf soreness before menstruation?

Calf soreness before menstruation may be caused by changes in hormone levels, excessive exercise, calcium deficiency, etc. It can usually be improved by strengthening lifestyle management, massage, oral medication, etc.

1. Changes in hormone levels:

Before menstruation, hormone levels in the body will change accordingly. The withdrawal of estrogen in the body can easily lead to water and sodium retention, which may induce limb edema and be accompanied by a feeling of soreness and swelling. You can soak your feet in hot water at ordinary times, which can improve local microcirculation and have a certain effect on improving symptoms.

2. Excessive exercise:

If you do a lot of exercise before menstruation, your body will produce a lot of lactic acid during the exercise. If you cannot metabolize it normally, your legs will become sore and swollen. You can massage them properly to accelerate the excretion of lactic acid and help the recovery of symptoms.

3. Calcium deficiency:

If the patient is picky about food for a long time, it may lead to insufficient calcium intake, affecting the normal function of muscles and nerves and causing leg discomfort. You can take calcium carbonate D3 tablets, vitamin D calcium chewable tablets, calcium lactate tablets and other medicines as recommended by the doctor.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by phlebitis, varicose veins of the lower limbs, venous thrombosis, etc. If the symptoms are severe, you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment.
