What is osteoporosis?

  What is osteoporosis? How to treat osteoporosis? It is a problem that every patient is concerned about, and today we will briefly talk about this topic.  First of all, osteoporosis is a problem that we all face, it is one of the manifestations of human aging, just like the skin grows wrinkles and hair turns gray. This means that osteoporosis is inevitable and cannot be reversed, nor can it be completely cured. If it cannot be cured, why do we need to treat osteoporosis? Because if osteoporosis deteriorates rapidly or worsens, it will bring us a series of clinical symptoms: back pain, back pain, cramps, fear of cold, etc., and even fractures in the most serious cases! So what is the purpose of our treatment? First, we want to slow down the progress of osteoporosis; second, we want to alleviate the series of clinical symptoms it brings us; third, to avoid the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures. In my opinion, the goal of successful treatment of osteoporosis is: 1) no series of clinical symptoms brought about by osteoporosis; 2) no serious fracture. In fact, not all diseases can be cured under the existing medical conditions, and there are very few diseases that can be completely cured clinically, but we have to learn to “live with the disease” or “live with the disease”, as long as the disease can be actively As long as the disease can be actively controlled and does not bring harm to our life and work, it is a successful treatment.  Secondly, how should osteoporosis be treated? This is based on the age, gender, physical condition, combined disease and other individualized treatment, not simply calcium supplementation is enough, the structure of the bone is not simply formed by calcium, just like building a building not only need cement, but also a large number of steel, stone, etc., so our treatment of osteoporosis is to enhance the strength, elasticity and toughness of the bones, it requires a series of comprehensive treatment, recommended We should not blindly trust the excessive propaganda on the Internet or in some media, but go to the hospital and let the doctor give a suitable treatment plan for you.
