Osteoporosis means "porous bone," a medical disorder that occurs when the bones weaken. They are more vulnerable to sudden actions like falling or minor forces (bending over or coughing) that can cause fractures. During this condition, the body reabsorbs more bone tissue than it produces to replace it. The majority of these fractures involve hip, wrist, and spine fractures.
The condition frequently progresses without warning signs or discomfort, and it is typically not recognized until the weakening bones result in painful fractures. Although both men and women can get osteoporosis, women are four times more likely to get it than men.
Symptoms of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis typically shows no symptoms, known as a silent sickness. However the following symptoms are more common.
- Shortening in height
- Bone fractures
- Pain in the lower back
- Shortness of breath due to compressed disk
Risks of osteoporosis
Many risk factors increase the chance of developing osteoporosis, including,
- Increasing with age
- Ethnicity - The occurrence of low bone mass is higher in some ethnic groups.
- Genetics
- Bone structure and body weight
- Eating habits and lifestyle
- Tobacco and alcohol usage
- Certain medical conditions and medications
Causes of osteoporosis
- Menopause-related estrogen
- Age-related testosterone decline in males
- Bedridden for a long time
- Medical conditions can increase inflammation in the body.
Osteoporosis can be diagnosed using a bone mineral density (BMD) test, also called dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) scans. Treatment for osteoporosis includes exercise, vitamin and mineral supplements, hormone and hormone-related therapy, and antiresorptive drugs. Regular exercise and intake of supplements help avoid osteoporosis.
The best way to prevent osteoporosis is through controlling the diet and lifestyle. In postmenopausal women, hormone therapy (replacing lost estrogen) is effective against osteoporosis. Vitamin D is crucial because it helps the body absorb calcium. In diet, consuming salmon with bones rich in calcium, sardine, broccoli, kale, calcium-fortified juices, dried figs, bread, and calcium supplements will prevent osteoporosis.
The amount of bone loss can be reduced by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Start a routine workout plan. The best exercises for building stronger bones require your muscles to work against gravity, like weightlifting, jogging, and aerobics. Don't overindulge in alcohol. Avoid consuming too much caffeine. Never, ever use tobacco.
Osteoporosis is very common; yearly, two million broken bones result from the condition. Your doctor may test and diagnose osteoporosis using a medical history examination and physical examination. Depending on the underlying issues, osteoporosis is treated, and it can be treated using various methods.
Adferol capsule is a tablet used to treat osteoporosis. Adferol capsule improves bone health by restoring the body's vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus by promoting calcium absorption from the body's intestine and bone. Common side effects are nausea, constipation, vomiting, and stomach ache.
