Premenstrual knee pain

In the premenstrual period, women's hormone levels change significantly. At this time, if estrogen and aldosterone secretion are not coordinated, water and salt can be retained in the body tissues. There is a triangular gap in the knee joint of the human body, which is filled with adipose tissue, that is, the submental fat pad. The retention of water and salt makes the fat pad swell easily, compress the nerve endings, and cause pain.
