What is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle, making them susceptible to fractures from minor falls or stresses. Common fracture sites include the hip, spine & wrist. Bone tissue continually regenerates, but osteoporosis develops when bone formation can’t keep up with bone loss. This condition affects both men and women, especially as they age, and can become noticeable in women post-menopause.

Symptoms of Osteoporosis

Early Stage

• Receding Gums: A sign of jawbone loss.
• Weak Grip Strength: Related to low bone density.
• Brittle Fingernails: Poor nail health often reflects bone health.

Advanced Stage

• Height Loss: Caused by spine compression fractures.
• Frequent Fractures: Common from minor falls or slight movements.
• Neck or Back Pain: From spinal nerve compression due to bone fractures.
• Stooped Posture: Spine compression can lead to a curved posture.

Types of Osteoporosis

• Primary Osteoporosis: Develops with age, often noticeable in women during menopause but also affects elderly men and women.
• Secondary Osteoporosis: Arises from other medical conditions such as endocrine or autoimmune diseases that impact bone density.

Risk Factors for Osteoporosis

1. Family History: Higher risk if osteoporosis runs in the family.
2. Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, alcohol use, and a diet low in calcium and vitamin D increase osteoporosis risk.
3. Lack of Exercise: Weight-bearing activities like walking and jogging strengthen bones.
4. Medical Conditions: Conditions like hyperthyroidism can elevate osteoporosis risk.
5. Certain Medications: Some medications can thin bones over time.
6. Eating Disorders: Conditions like anorexia can deplete bone density.

Osteoporosis Diagnosis at Metro Hospital

• Bone Density Scan (DXA): Measures bone density using x-rays to determine risk and need for medication.
• Bone X-Ray: Shows detailed images of bones for fractures.
• Spine CT Scan: Evaluates alignment, fractures, and bone density.
• MRI: Determines the age and severity of vertebral fractures.

Treatment Options at Metro Hospital

While osteoporosis has no cure, the following treatments can help manage and prevent its progression.

Medications and Lifestyle Adjustments

• Dietary Changes: Increase intake of calcium and vitamin D.
• Exercise: Weight-bearing exercises like walking and resistance training help build bone density.

Additional Treatment Options

• Natural Supplements: Supplements such as soy, red clover, and black cohosh may aid bone health but should be taken with medical guidance.
• Balanced Diet: Essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D are crucial for bone strength.
• Regular Exercise: Weight-bearing exercises, such as resistance training, help stimulate bone growth.
