If you suspect hormones are driving your joint pain, you are asking about flares. A pattern in your symptoms is worth looking into, and a clinician can help you read it.
Can hormones trigger a flare?
Possibly, though the research on hormones concerns how rheumatoid arthritis starts, not flares. NIAMS says researchers think that sex hormones may play a role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis when genetic and environmental factors also are involved.
Development is not the same as flares
The NIAMS statement is about how rheumatoid arthritis develops, and it is hedged with "may" and "think". It says nothing about timing of a flare in someone who already has arthritis. Hormones are also named alongside genetic and environmental factors, not as a lone cause.
What a useful record looks like
If you suspect a pattern, track dates of pain and any hormone-related changes you are aware of, then show the log to a clinician. For general background, see the CDC arthritis overview, the NIAMS page on gout or the WebMD pain management center. A clinician in Little Falls can judge whether your pattern needs testing.
Your own dates answer this better than a rule
Whether hormone changes line up with your flares is a question your own dates and a clinician's exam can answer, which a general rule cannot. Our comparisons stop short of medical advice, and a clinician decides what your pattern means.
