What are the symptoms of osteoporosis?

summary

Osteoporosis, or osteoporosis, is a group of bone diseases caused by various reasons. There are normal calcification in bone tissue, normal ratio of calcium salt to matrix, and metabolic bone disease characterized by reduction of bone tissue per unit volume. What are the symptoms of osteoporosis? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

What are the symptoms of osteoporosis?

First, the most common symptom of primary osteoporosis is low back pain, accounting for 70% - 80% of patients with pain. The pain diffused along the spine to both sides. The pain was alleviated in supine or sitting position. The pain was aggravated in standing position, stretching backward, standing and sitting for a long time. The pain was aggravated in bending, coughing and defecating.

Second: general bone loss more than 12% can appear bone pain. Senile osteoporosis, vertebral compression deformation, spinal flexion, muscle fatigue and even spasm, pain. The new thoracolumbar compression fracture can also produce acute pain, and the corresponding parts of the spinal spinous process can have strong tenderness and percussion pain.

Third: if the corresponding spinal nerve is compressed, it can produce limb radiation pain, sensory and motor disorders of both lower limbs, intercostal neuralgia, and retrosternal pain, similar to angina pectoris. If the spinal cord and cauda equina are compressed, the function of bladder and rectum will be affected.

matters needing attention

1. Reasonable dietary structure, ensuring the reasonable supply of protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and trace elements, is one of the main links in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. 2. We should try our best to reduce the fall rate of patients with osteoporosis, so as to reduce hip fracture and Colles fracture. The amount of bone loss accelerated in 3 middle-aged women, especially in postmenopausal women. At this time, bone mineral density should be examined once a year, and prevention and treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible for the population with rapid bone loss.
