Osteoporosis - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
With osteoporosis, the density of bone tissue sharply decreases. Because of this, the bone becomes fragile, and, accordingly, the risk of its fracture increases. Throughout life, bone tissue is constantly renewed - the old is gradually being destroyed, replaced by a new, stronger one. Osteoporosis is manifested when there is an imbalance in the replacement processes.
The disease does not act selectively. It hits all the bones at once. As shown by many years of medical experience, in women the symptoms of osteoporosis of the feet, the spine are more frequent, and they need more serious treatment. The reasons for these problems can be very diverse. Most often the disease causes hormonal failures and metabolic disorders.
But there are other factors contributing to the development of osteoporosis:
- elderly age;
- hereditary predisposition;
- improper, poorly balanced nutrition;
- diabetes mellitus ;
- decreased ovarian function;
- hyperactivity of the thyroid gland;
- early completion of the menstrual cycle;
- fragile physique;
- prolonged lactation;
- abuse of nicotine and alcohol;
- taking certain medications;
- problems with the kidneys and adrenal glands.
The main symptoms, identifying which, you need to start treatment and buy drugs for osteoporosis, look like this:
- severe articular pain in the lumbar region, pelvis, thoracic spine;
