Bone loss (osteoporosis), a condition when the body loses bone and the recovery process is not fast enough. People with bone loss are susceptible to fractures, which can be painful and even life-threatening if the problem is not treated until it is corrected to stop the disease from progressing.
Bone is the basis of the entire body. The health of a person and his functioning as a whole depend on its condition. It allows you to maintain your shape and not lose the ability to perform various actions. When it begins to break down, the density of the bones is disrupted and they become fragile. All this leads to various problems that need to be noticed in time and try to eliminate them. The causes of bone destruction can be different. First of all, they appear after 40 years, but are not uncommon in children. There is also a hereditary predisposition - due to various mutations in the genetic material, a decrease in bone mass and disruption of bone structure occur. In this case, the diagnosis of bone loss or osteoporosis is made at the age of 25–30 years. Main signs and symptoms of the disease. The main symptom is frequent susceptibility to injuries to the spine, legs and arms. This is usually facilitated by situations in which the bone is damaged, for example: - a strong fall from a height; - fracture of the tibia (common in children); - traumatic brain injury; - fractures of the lower back and ribs. That is, all the signs and manifestations of the disease consist of deterioration of bone density and bone loss. And after this the person is at risk of receiving a permanent wound or fracture. The hip area, femoral neck, spine and chest are considered especially “weak”. These are the most basic areas with heavy load on them. And the lower limbs of people are not as strong as those of others due to the expansion of the pelvic canals. Symptoms of bone loss in the spine, neck and sternum, pelvis are: unpleasant and nagging pain in the back, neck or lumbar region, intensifying during physical activity; discomfort and fatigue in the legs and arms; swelling of the arms and legs; paleness and slight tingling of the feet and fingers and toes at night; deformation of the forelimbs; bulges on the arm near the outside; general weakness, fatigue, problems with memory and concentration; decreased appetite or unpleasant taste sensations. When the first signs of bone deformation appear, you should consult a specialist and find out the cause. Doctors typically order x-rays, blood tests, and bone markers that show residual castoid cells to more accurately determine the stage of the disease. Additional studies may be needed to help determine bone tissue turnover, the area of increased bone loss, and the extent of calcium loss. In this way, it is possible to establish the phase of development of the disease and develop the correct treatment. The disease must be treated individually in each case, depending on the form and symptoms. However, the general principle of rehabilitation is to replace calcium and vitamin D absorbed by the body with artificial ones. calcium for bone mineral mass, and vitamin D, which helps digestion
