Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone density and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Osteoporosis does not always cause early signs or symptoms. Often you will only experience symptoms when the condition has advanced to the point where you break bones easily.
Late signs and symptoms of osteoporosis
Signs of osteoporosis become obvious until the condition is quite advanced. Here are some potential signs and symptoms of late-stage osteoporosis.
Spinal involvement
If osteoporosis affects the bones in the spine, you may notice:
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone density and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It occurs when the body loses too much bone, produces too little bone, or both. The bones become weak and fragile, making them more prone to fractures, even with minor or routine activities. Osteoporosis often progresses silently without causing noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs. It’s important to note that osteoporosis can develop in both men and women, but it is more common in postmenopausal women due to the decline in estrogen levels, which plays a protective role in bone health. Other risk factors for osteoporosis include advancing age, family history, low body weight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, a sedentary lifestyle, and certain medical conditions or medications.
Common risk factors for osteoporosis include:
People assigned female at birth have a higher chance of developing primary osteoporosis. People assigned male at birth have a lower risk of primary osteoporosis but an increased risk of developing secondary osteoporosis from medication or other underlying causes.
Certain other medical conditions can increase your risk of osteoporosis, including:
The first thing that we do to make sure that you get the right treatment is by getting certain tests done which would mostly include but not limit to CBC, Thyroid panel, Hormone Assay, Testosterone levels, androgen assay, sugar levels, HbA1c, urine analysis, DHEA levels, Cortisol levels, Liver function tests, Lipid profile, Vitamin B12 and D levels, serum electrolytes, iron panel. On the basis of this, we take further treatment steps for Osteoporosis.
Hormone therapy can be used to treat osteoporosis, particularly in postmenopausal women. It involves the use of medications that contain hormones to help slow down bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures. The two main types of hormone therapy for osteoporosis are estrogen therapy and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs).
At HormoneHub, we utilize “the Elixir therapy” which is a holistic and multidimensional approach to balance the physiological hormones, overcome deficiencies, restore innate harmony, energize, rejuvenate and there by sustaining long term well-being. Our specialists in each segment inculcate the methodologies and techniques which one can practice lifetime and ensure the sustenance on own thereby.
