What are the symptoms of osteoporosis

summary

Some time ago, I accompanied my mother back to my hometown to visit a fractured elder. From my mother's conversation with them, I learned that the old man suffered from osteoporosis, so even if I was careful everywhere, there were fractures from time to time. Today, let me talk about the symptoms of osteoporosis.

What are the symptoms of osteoporosis

First: shorter body length, hunchback. Most of them appear after pain. The anterior part of the vertebral body is almost composed of cancellous bone, and this part is the pillar of the body, with heavy load, especially the 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae and the third lumbar vertebrae. It is easy to compress and deform, make the spine forward, intensify the curvature of the back, and form a hunchback. With the growth of age, the bone looseness increases, and the curvature of the hunchback increases, resulting in significant contracture of the knee joint.

Second, primary osteoporosis is characterized by osteopenia and bone microstructure degradation. The main manifestations of osteoporosis are: osteopenia, dissolution of bone calcium, spinal compression fracture, resulting in the appearance of "turtle back", accompanied by some senile diseases such as dyspnea, hyperosteogeny, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and so on; bone microstructure degradation and bone strength It is difficult to bear the original load.

Third: the most common symptom of primary osteoporosis is low back pain, accounting for 70% - 80% of patients with pain. The pain spread to both sides of the spine. The pain was alleviated when lying on the back or sitting position. The pain was aggravated when standing upright or standing for a long time or sitting for a long time. The pain was mild during the day, aggravated when waking up at night and in the morning. The pain was aggravated when bending, muscle movement, coughing and defecating. Generally, bone pain occurs when the bone loss is more than 12%.

matters needing attention

So in our daily life, we should pay more attention to physical exercise, especially for the elderly at home. We should urge the elderly to exercise more, not to sit or lie for a long time, but it's better not to exercise too hard. We should also pay attention to strengthen nutrition and supplement more protein.
