Women tend to suffer the most from osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common and dangerous joint diseases in the world, so it is definitely worth spending a moment to learn about the symptoms. In this article we will talk about symptoms of osteoarthritis and how to prevent it!

What is the cause of osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis or coxofemoral osteoarthritis affects the cartilage in the various joints. The hip joint can also be affected as it shares the joint with the femur in a common cavity. Around this area, there is a network of muscle fibers and ligaments that unite cartilage and absorb shocks. You need to know that osteoarthritis can occur in one of two ways:

• Primarily,  as a result of wear and tear over time. Seen around 60-65 years.
• Secondary, Result of local problems and joint problems due to landslides and even poor diet and bone problems. In these cases, people may start experiencing hip problems as early as the age of 30 to 35.

And let’s take a look at the causes of this painful condition:

• Trauma:  Dislocations, injuries or improperly cured illnesses can cause you to experience osteoarthritis.
• Blood circulation:  Blood circulation is another aspect that you should keep in mind: It tends to occur due to problems caused by  arthritis  or displacements, but in this case, the cause is blood circulation.
• Congenital factors:  Children often come into the world with congenital problems, such as hip dysplasia, growth conditions or other problems.
• Unbalanced skeletal structure: It is quite common for people to suffer from a condition where their legs are of different lengths.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis:

• The first symptom of any arthritis problem is pain. However, many people believe that this pain should only be concentrated near the hip when in fact it tends to occur throughout the groin region. It can even radiate down towards the lower thigh, reaching the knee and reflecting back to the buttocks.
• Sometimes when you move, you will feel a sudden pain.
• If your hip hurts, it could be a muscle problem. However, if your groin starts to hurt, it is a direct result of osteoarthritis
• In the beginning, this pain will not be very intense, and appears primarily after you have been physically active. After a long walk, for example, or after a walk or lifting heavy objects. When you rest, the pain will go away.

• Later, when the arthritis is advanced, this pain will become more intense and it will be difficult for you to perform basic activities, such as going up a few stairs. When you cross your legs, you will feel pain, the same at night, when you turn and turn in bed. You will feel a burning sensation in your groin.

How can I prevent symptoms of osteoarthritis?

You need to know that if you are suffering from hip pain, you should start changing your lifestyle because there is no definite cure for arthritis. You should try to  eat well  so that your body will get all the nutrients it needs and do light exercises so that you can be mobile without wearing yourself out. Follow your doctor’s instructions without abusing anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants because they can have a negative impact on your liver in the long run. On the other hand, if your goal is to prevent osteoarthritis and you are not currently suffering from this problem or your symptoms are very mild, follow these recommendations.

• Always keep a balanced weight.
• Do some  light exercises  every day, especially exercises that do not require you to move your hips, such as walking, running or swimming.
• Increase your intake of  vitamins C, A and D because these nutrients will help you form collagen. So you should definitely try to eat more citrus fruits, mango,  pineapple, carrots, melons and strawberries, as well as vegetables of the cruciferous family, artichokes and  garlic, which are especially suitable for reducing swollen joints
• Gelatin is great for restoring cartilage. Because, as you probably know, bones can not grow back, but cartilage can.
• Do not hesitate to take magnesium supplements. This nutrient is essential for maintaining good overall health and is great for your overall health. Ask your local health food store or your doctor where you can get these supplements.

• Drink at least two liters of water a day. It is crucial that you stay hydrated because it will also keep your joints hydrated, thus nourishing your cartilage. You should keep this in mind.
• Some people also use vitamin supplements such as glucosamine sulfate, which are great for osteoarthritis. It is a natural way to strengthen this part of your body, as well as your bones and cartilage in general. You can talk to your doctor about its benefits.
