Age:
Over time, muscles lose flexibility, which increases the risk of cramps.
Pregnancy:
Hormonal and circulatory changes make pregnant women more prone to these discomforts.
Intense physical activity:
Unusual or excessive muscular effort can cause cramps, especially if the muscles are not properly stretched before and after.
Certain diseases
such as diabetes, kidney failure, or circulatory disorders can promote their development.
Electrolyte imbalances:
A lack of magnesium, potassium or calcium disrupts proper muscle function.
Dehydration:
Drinking too little reduces the fluidity of exchanges in the body and increases the risk of cramps.
Certain medications
and treatments (diuretics, statins, etc.) can promote these involuntary contractions.
