Abstract

Arthralgia is a common complaint around the time of menopause in many women. It is estimated that over 50% of women experience arthralgia or arthritis at the time of menopause. The complex of symptoms has been linked to the joint and tendon response to the decline in sex hormones as well as sarcopenia, or loss of muscle volume associated with aging. The diagnosis of "arthritis of menopause" has been identified since 1925, but treatments have been symptomatic at best.^1,2 Joint synovium and cartilage interaction with estrogen is well documented. This article reviews the literature regarding the current approaches to treatment of arthralgia of menopause.

期刊介绍： Post Reproductive Health (formerly Menopause International) is a MEDLINE indexed, peer reviewed source of news, research and opinion. Aimed at all those involved in the field of post reproductive health study and treatment, it is a vital resource for all practitioners and researchers. As the official journal of the British Menopause Society (BMS), Post Reproductive Health has a broad scope, tackling all the issues in this field, including the current controversies surrounding postmenopausal health and an ageing and expanding female population. Initially this journal will concentrate on the key areas of menopause, sexual health, urogynaecology, metabolic bone disease, cancer diagnosis and treatment, recovering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognition, prescribing, use of new hormone therapies, psychology, the science of ageing, sociology, economics, and quality of life. However as a progressive and innovative journal the Editors are always willing to consider other areas relevant to this rapidly expanding area of healthcare.
