What do you think, what should the ladies fear after the termination of the childbearing period of life and the onset of menopause? Tides, problems with pressure, weight gain, crawling out of the other individual ailments depending on heredity? All is correct, but there is one more problem of women of a climacteric age - an osteoporosis of a backbone. Let's take a closer look at this sore today, talk about where and from whom it often appears and how it can be prevented or treated.
Where does osteoporosis take the spine?
In general, osteoporosis is the destruction of bone tissue due to the washing out of it of calcium, the building material of our skeleton. This disease is found in men, but much less often than in women, and its development in the stronger sex begins after 60 years, when the women this malady can be detected as early as 50 and even 45 years.
Where does this nasty destructor of our health come from? The thing is that with the onset of menopause in the female body hormones that affect the accumulation of calcium cease to be produced, and it gradually begins to be consumed and removed from the body. The most rapid accumulation and assimilation of this mineral occurs in childhood and adolescence, when we grow. Then, during the course of a lifetime, the necessary level of calcium is maintained with the help of special hormones, and at an advanced age it is gradually wasted. But if a woman watches herself in the elderly, eats properly, actively moves and remains in the open air, this waste is very slow and rational. But with osteoporosis, calcium leaves our bones so quickly that after a few years of illness they look like trunks of trees, eaten by bugs of woodworm. The result of this "bug" work will, of course, be the fragility of bones and the risk of fractures.
