Musculoskeletal Symptoms

Meaning

Musculoskeletal symptoms encompass a range of clinical manifestations affecting the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons, often presenting as pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, or loss of strength. In the domain of hormonal health, these symptoms are frequently observed during periods of endocrine transition, such as menopause or andropause, due to the direct influence of hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and growth hormone on bone density and muscle mass maintenance. Clinicians must recognize the hormonal underpinnings of these physical complaints to provide comprehensive care.
