3. WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS
– Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body
loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a
result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or,
in serious cases, from sneezing or minor bumps.
4. SYMPTOMS
– •Back pain, and may be severe pain in the event of a crack
or break in the vertebrae•. Weight loss with time, with a
curvature of stature.•Fractures of the vertebrae, in the
joints of the hands of the hands, in the thigh basin or in
other bones
5. – CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS
– •Bone durability is shaped by its size and density. As for
bone density, it is related to the levels of calcium and
phosphorus in the body, as well as to other minerals
involved in bone formation. When the bones contain less
mineral than required, the bones lose their strength and
eventually lose their internal support capacity. Bone tissue
regeneration process:
6. – •The degree of risk of a person osteoporosis is related to
the amount of bone tissue that may have accumulated in
your body during the period between the ages of 25 and
35 days (or the amount of bone tissue), and it is also at the
speed at which a person loses bone tissue later. The
larger the bone
7. – •In the event that there is a deficiency in the consumption
of sufficient quantities of calcium and vitamin D (vitamin D)
during the first three decades of a person's life, this may
lead to a drop in the bone mass in this person’s body upon
reaching the age at which the bone mass reaches
8. TREATMENT
– Mostly, treatment recommendations are based on an
estimate of the risk of you breaking a bone during the next
ten years, and this is through information such as a bone
density test. If that risk is not high, treatment may not
include any medications and instead focuses on modifying
risk factors for bone loss and falls.
9. SOME TREATMENTS
– Alendronate
– laterWhich comes in the form of oral tablets used by both sexes, and the drug
Alendronate is used suitable for cases of fragility resulting from the excessive use
of steroid medicines, as Alendronate increases the bone mass to protect it from
breakage..
10. – Risedronate:: It is taken orally and is used for both sexes to treat
osteoporosis resulting from the excessive use of steroid medicines. This is also
indicated that it is used to prevent fragility when using steroids
11. – Ibandronate (only for women ) It is given orally or
intravenously, as epandronate is used to reduce the risk
of a spinal fracture.
12. – •Zoledronic acid: It is used for women only, it
is given intravenously, as it increases bone mass to
protect the bone from fractures.
13. – And Hormone related therapy is one of
the solutions to treat osteoporosis
14. Prevention of osteoporosis
–
– Being physically active.
– Add soy products to your daily food menu
– Stop smoking.
– Check for hormonal treatments.
– Refrain from drinking excessive alcoholic beverages.
– Reducing caffeine consumption.
