Menopausal women may experience muscle twitching, but it is not a common symptom. Muscle twitching may be related to hormonal fluctuations, increased neural sensitivity, or electrolyte imbalances, typically manifested as involuntary twitching of local muscles with a short duration. The decrease in estrogen levels during menopause can affect neurological function, leading to abnormal muscle discharge in some women. This kind of jumping often occurs in the limbs or face, and there is no pain during the attack. It may be accompanied by typical menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and insomnia. Proper supplementation of calcium and magnesium elements in daily life can help stabilize neuromuscular excitability and reduce jumping frequency.
In rare cases, continuous muscle contractions require vigilance against pathological factors. Hyperthyroidism, peripheral neuropathy, or certain medication side effects may also cause similar symptoms. If the range of motion expands to the whole body, accompanied by muscle weakness or pain, it is recommended to perform electromyography to rule out organic problems such as motor neuron disease. Maintaining a regular schedule and moderate exercise can improve menopausal neuromuscular regulation function. Low impact exercises such as yoga and swimming can enhance muscle coordination, and daily intake of 300 milliliters of milk or 50 grams of nuts can help replenish minerals. When symptoms continue to worsen, it is necessary to investigate whether there are secondary factors such as vitamin D deficiency or chronic kidney disease. If necessary, hormone replacement therapy should be performed under the guidance of a doctor.
