What symptom does osteoporosis lack calcium have?

summary

Osteoporosis is caused by many factors. Its basic pathological mechanism is the defect of the coupling of bone resorption and bone formation in the process of bone metabolism, which leads to the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in human body and the clinical symptoms caused by the gradual reduction of bone mineral density. What are the symptoms of osteoporosis and calcium deficiency?

What symptom does osteoporosis lack calcium have?

Pain: 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%. In senile osteoporosis, the number of vertebral trabeculae atrophy, reduction, vertebral compression deformation, spinal flexion, lumbar muscle in order to correct spinal flexion, double contraction, muscle fatigue and even spasm, resulting in pain. Recent thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures can also produce acute pain, corresponding parts of the spine spinous process can have strong tenderness and percussion pain, generally 2-3 weeks later can gradually reduce, some patients can show chronic low back pain. If the corresponding spinal nerve is compressed, it can produce limb radiating pain, sensory motor disturbance of both lower limbs, intercostal neuralgia, retrosternal pain similar to angina pectoris, and upper abdominal pain similar to acute abdomen. If the spinal cord and cauda equina are compressed, the function of bladder and rectum will be affected.

Shortened body length, hunchback: more 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, it is easy to compress and deform, making the spine lean forward, aggravating the curvature of the back, forming a hunchback. With the growth of age, osteoporosis aggravates, the curvature of the hunchback increases, resulting in significant contracture of the knee joint.

Fracture: This is the most common and serious complication of degenerative osteoporosis. Spine, wrist (distal radius) and hip (femoral neck) fractures are common. Vertebral fractures, often compression, wedge-shaped fractures, so that the entire spine flattened deformation, which is one of the reasons for the elderly shorter. Osteoporosis leads to fracture, which can significantly increase the mortality and disability rate of the elderly. The investigation shows that the mortality rate of male (31%) is twice that of female (17%) within one year after osteoporotic fracture. Hip fracture is the most serious osteoporotic fracture, which generally requires surgical operation. Only a few patients can fully recover to the level before fracture. According to the medical education network, 25% to 35% of patients can't take care of themselves after discharge. The more serious harm of hip fracture is that 20% of patients with hip fracture will die within one year, 20% of patients with hip fracture will have another fracture within 1 year. Fracture in the elderly can cause or aggravate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, leading to pulmonary infection, bedsore and other complications, seriously endangering the health of the elderly, and even life-threatening, with a mortality rate of 10% to 20%.

matters needing attention

At ordinary times, we should develop good living habits. We should not be picky or partial eaters. We should eat more calcium containing foods, such as animal liver, egg yolk, meat, cod liver oil, etc. for fruits, we can eat more mango, papaya, melon, grape, orange, etc. we can also take calcium tablets to alleviate the calcium deficiency.
