A condition known as 'frozen shoulder' or adhesive capsulitis, which causes severe pain and stiffness in the shoulder, is more common in women during perimenopause and menopause. The loss of estrogen during these stages can lead to inflammation and loss of elasticity throughout the body, increasing the risk of frozen shoulder. Women being treated for breast cancer with hormone therapy are also at higher risk. Early diagnosis by an orthopedic surgeon or shoulder specialist is crucial, as it can be mistaken for other conditions. Standard treatment involves physical therapy and anti-inflammatory injections, with hormone therapy showing promise as a preventive measure. Women should avoid immobilizing their shoulder with a sling and continue regular activities within their comfort level.2 sourcesSee all sourcesChile Declares Health Alert for Hantavirus
