Symptoms and treatment of osteoporosis

summary

Osteoporosis is a kind of systemic bone disease, which is characterized by the decrease of bone mass and the destruction of bone micro structure. It is characterized by the increase of bone fragility, so the risk of fracture is greatly increased. Even in the case of slight trauma or no trauma, fracture is easy to occur. Osteoporosis is a chronic disease caused by many factors. Symptoms and treatment of osteoporosis? Let's talk about it

Symptoms and treatment of osteoporosis

In adulthood, various types of exercise contribute to the maintenance of bone mass. Menopausal women adhere to three hours of exercise a week, the overall increase in calcium. However, excessive exercise leads to amenorrhea, but the loss of bone mass is accelerated. Exercise also improves sensitivity and balance. 　

Selective estrogen receptor modulators have weak estrogen like effects in some organs, but can antagonize estrogen in other organs. SERMs can prevent osteoporosis and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and endometrial cancer. These drugs include raloxifene, a nonsteroidal benzothiophene, an agonist of estrogen, which can inhibit bone resorption, increase BMD of spine and hip, and reduce the risk of vertebral fracture by 40% - 50%, but the curative effect is worse than that of estrogen. It is forbidden in premenopausal women.

Effective drug therapy can prevent and treat osteoporosis, including estrogen replacement therapy, calcitonin, selective estrogen receptor modulator and diphosphate. These drugs can prevent bone resorption, but have little effect on bone formation. The drugs used to treat and prevent the development of osteoporosis can be divided into two categories. The first category is the drugs that inhibit bone resorption, including calcium, vitamin D and active vitamin D, calcitonin, diphosphate, estrogen and isoflavones; The second is to promote bone medicine, including fluoride, synthetic steroids, parathyroid hormone and isoflavones.

matters needing attention

We should start from children and teenagers, such as paying attention to reasonable diet and nutrition, eating more foods with high calcium and phosphorus, such as fish, shrimp, milk, dairy products, bone soup, eggs, beans, coarse cereals, green leafy vegetables, etc. Adhere to a scientific lifestyle, such as physical exercise, more sunbathing, no smoking, no drinking, less coffee, strong tea and carbonated drinks, less sugar and salt, not too much animal protein, late marriage, less childbearing, not too long lactation, try to preserve calcium in the body and enrich the calcium pool, The best way to prevent osteoporosis in later life is to increase the bone peak value to the maximum value. For the high-risk population with genetic genes, follow-up and early prevention should be emphasized.
