Presentations of low estrogen levels include hot flashes, which are sudden, intense feelings of heat predominantly in the upper body, causing the skin to redden as if blushing. They are believed to occur due to the narrowing of the thermonuclear zone in the hypothalamus , making the body more sensitive to body temperature changes. [ 5 ]
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip.. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur, between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft.
Gluteus medius tendonitis, also known as Gluteal amnesia or colloquially as Dead Butt syndrome is a lifestyle disease that affects the gluteus maximus muscle characterized by a lack of muscle tone and strength in the buttocks, typically from excess sitting.
Estrogen insensitivity syndrome (EIS), or estrogen resistance, is a form of congenital estrogen deficiency or hypoestrogenism [2] which is caused by a defective estrogen receptor (ER) – specifically, the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) – that results in an inability of estrogen to mediate its biological effects in the body. [3] Congenital ...
From cold and flu to stress to post-workout muscle soreness, there are a bevy of things that can cause your body aches. Here's how to spot each one—and what you can do to make the pain go away.
One leg stance accounts for about 60% of the gait cycle, and during the stance phase, there is approximately three times the body weight transmitted to the hip joint. [citation needed] The hip abductors' action accounts for two thirds of that body weight. A Trendelenburg sign can occur when there is presence of a muscular dysfunction (weakness ...
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [ 2 ] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder ( rotator cuff tendinitis , biceps tendinitis ), elbow ( tennis elbow , golfer's elbow ), wrist, hip, knee ( jumper's knee , popliteus tendinopathy), or ...
It is caused by weakness or ineffective action of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles. Gandbhir and Rayi point out that the biomechanical action involved comprises a class 3 lever , where the lower limb's weight is the load, the hip joint is the fulcrum, and the lateral glutei, which attach to the antero-lateral surface of the ...
