Many cases of osteoporosis disease are seen in women after menopause (end of periods cycle). Osteoporosis is a disease of bones. In this, there is a fracture in the spine, hip or wrist. With increasing age, the risk of getting this disease increases significantly in women. At present, about 50 million women in India are suffering from osteoporosis. Among these, there are more cases of p
eople above 50 years of age. Osteoporosis can be treated, but if treatment is not done on time, there is a risk of spinal fracture due to this disease. Due to which a person can become disabled in future.
It is a matter of concern that the symptoms of this disease are not detected in the beginning. In such a situation, it is important to have information about it. We spoke to experts to know about osteoporosis in detail.
Back pain
Dr. Aman Dua, Director, Joint Replacement and Orthopedics Department at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Delhi, explains that bone density decreases in osteoporosis disease. Many small holes are also made in the bones. There are a lot of cases of this disease in the spinal cord. Due to osteoporosis, there is a problem of back pain and pain can also be felt in the hips. Some people also consider this problem as arthritis, although the disease of arthritis is quite different from osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can also occur at an early age. However, its cases are reported more in women after the age of 50 years.
Lack of information among people
Dr. Aman Dua explains that people have less information about osteoporosis. Often people ignore the problem of back pain or hip pain, while it should not be done. If you are having this problem, then meet the doctor of orthopedics. Doctors will find out your disease by doing different types of tests. If osteoporosis is confirmed in the test, then it will be treated.
