    Frozen Shoulder Increase in Menopausal Women: Medical Warning

    The medical community has expressed concern over the rise in frozen shoulder cases among menopausal women. Clinically known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition causes intense pain and restricted movement, significantly impacting daily life. Specialists like Dr. Kristina Marie Quirolgico attribute this increase to hormonal fluctuations during menopause. The condition's prevalence triples in women over 40, with symptoms including persistent pain, stiffness, and difficulty in daily tasks. Treatment involves physical therapy, analgesics, and, in severe cases, minimally invasive procedures. Early intervention is crucial for recovery, with over 90% of patients regaining full functionality with appropriate therapy.
