Osteoporosis is a common bone disease characterized by weakened bones, making them fragile and more prone to fractures. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and management options for osteoporosis is crucial for maintaining bone health and preventing complications. At Aashakiran IVF, under the guidance of Dr. Asmita Mahla, we provide comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans for individuals affected by osteoporosis.

Causes of Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis can develop due to various factors, including:

  1. Aging: As individuals age, bone density naturally decreases, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
  2. Hormonal Changes: Reduced estrogen levels in women after menopause and low testosterone levels in men can accelerate bone loss.
  3. Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D can weaken bones and contribute to osteoporosis.
  4. Lifestyle Factors: Lack of physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and certain medications can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
  5. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders, and gastrointestinal diseases can affect bone health and lead to osteoporosis.

Symptoms of Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis often progresses silently without noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs. Common signs and symptoms may include:

  • Back pain, caused by vertebral compression fractures
  • Loss of height over time
  • Stooped posture or curvature of the spine (kyphosis)
  • Fractures with minimal trauma, especially in the wrist, hip, or spine

Diagnosis and Management: Diagnosis of osteoporosis typically involves a combination of medical history review, physical examination, bone density testing (such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, or DXA scan), and laboratory tests to assess bone health. Management and treatment options for osteoporosis may include:

  1. Lifestyle Modifications: Regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, smoking cessation, and moderation of alcohol consumption can help improve bone density and reduce fracture risk.
  2. Medications: Various medications, including bisphosphonates, hormone therapy, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), and monoclonal antibodies, may be prescribed to prevent further bone loss and reduce fracture risk.
  3. Fall Prevention: Taking steps to prevent falls, such as improving home safety, using assistive devices, and participating in balance exercises, can help reduce the risk of fractures in individuals with osteoporosis.
