3. Losing Weight
If you are overweight it can put extra pressure on all of your joints. This includes putting pressure on your hips. This additional pressure can cause the joints to become stressed. When the joints become stressed, they may become inflamed. Not only does being overweight cause extra stress on your joints, but it can also cause other health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and more.
If you are overweight, it is important to try to lose weight in order to avoid all of these health issues including bursitis in the hip. Eating a proper and nutritious diet and exercising regularly can help you to lose the weight that you need. When you lose weight you will take some of the pressure off of your hips, which can prevent bursitis in the hip from occurring. Your doctor or a dietician can prescribe a diet and exercise regimen to help you lose the weight that you need to.
