What is the biggest mistake in the treatment of osteoporosis

BY Iris Wheatley 2020-08-01

  The biggest mistake in the treatment of osteoporosis is that many patients believe that as long as calcium is supplemented, osteoporosis should be improved, at least it should not be further aggravated. In fact, for many patients, calcium supplementation is often not enough to maintain the total amount of bone calcium in the human body. Even some patients with a comprehensive diet should not take calcium. They have taken it for many years and the bone mass is still very low. . Therefore, for ordinary people, it is very important to know a little bit about osteoporosis, which is related to the tens of millions of elderly patients with osteoporosis.

  In the human body, the bones are not Unchanged, old bones are constantly being cleared and new bones are constantly being produced. In normal people, this growth and decline are dynamic and balanced. There are two types of cells that play a key role-osteoclasts and adult Bone cells. Osteoclasts are a type of bone cells that perform the function of bone resorption. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts correspond functionally. The two work together to play an important role in the development and formation of bones.

  But in patients with osteoporosis, the function of osteoclasts is dysregulated, too much bone is constantly destroyed and lost, and the new bones cannot be replenished in time, which is why many elderly people Calcium supplementation is also the cause of osteoporosis.

   For many patients with osteoporosis, the calcium taken is far less than the amount of calcium lost from bones, so the focus of treatment should also be on reducing bone calcium loss, which is to prevent broken bones The function of bone cells.

  In recent years, medical science has made breakthroughs in this regard. Many new treatments have emerged. They can be treated with injections and infusions to treat osteoporosis, and nasal sprays can also be used to treat osteoporosis. , The key is to carry out scientifically under the guidance of a specialist, rather than taking oral calcium uniformly.
