Osteoporosis is a common orthopedic disease, prone to fracture, mostly seen in postmenopausal women and the elderly, bringing a great threat to people’s health, then, what are the common symptoms of osteoporosis? 1, pain The most common symptoms of primary osteoporosis are low back pain, which accounts for 70%-80% of patients with pain. The pain spreads along the spine to both sides, decreases when lying on the back or sitting, increases when posterior extension or prolonged standing or sitting, light pain during the day, increases at night and early morning when waking up, and increases when bending, muscle movement, coughing and bowel movement. Bone pain generally occurs when 12% or more of bone mass is lost. In old age osteoporosis, the vertebral trabeculae atrophy, the number decreases, the vertebral body compresses and deforms, the spine flexes forward, the lumbar muscles double contraction in order to correct the forward flexion of the spine, muscle fatigue and even spasm, producing pain. A recent compression fracture of the thoracolumbar spine can also produce acute pain, with strong pressure and percussion pain in the spinal spinous process of the corresponding area, which can generally be gradually reduced after 2-3 weeks, and some patients can present with chronic low back pain. If the corresponding spinal nerve is compressed, radiating pain in the extremities, sensory-motor disorders in both lower extremities, intercostal neuralgia, retrosternal pain similar to angina pectoris, or epigastric pain similar to acute abdomen may occur. If compression of the spinal cord and cauda equina also affects the function of the bladder and rectum. 2. Shortening of body length and hunchback Most of them appear after the pain. The front part of the vertebrae of the spine is composed of almost all cancellous bones, and this part is the pillar of the body with a large weight, especially the 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae and the 3rd lumbar vertebrae, which have a greater load and are easily compressed and deformed, causing the spine to tilt forward and the back curve to increase, resulting in a hunchback, and as we age, osteoporosis increases and the curvature of the hunchback increases, resulting in significant knee contracture. Each person has 24 vertebrae, the height of each vertebra in normal people is about 50px, when the elderly osteoporosis vertebral compression, each vertebrae shortened by about 2mm, the average length of 3-150px shortened. 3, respiratory function decline thoracic and lumbar compression fractures, backbend of the spine, thoracic deformity, can make the lung capacity and maximum ventilation volume significantly reduced, the incidence of lobar emphysema in the upper lobe of the lung can be as high as 40%. Most elderly people have no degree of emphysema, lung function decreases with age, if coupled with thoracic deformity due to osteoporosis, patients can often have chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea and other symptoms. 4, fracture This is the most common and serious complication of degenerative osteoporosis, which not only increases the patient’s pain and aggravates the economic responsibility, but also severely limits the patient’s activities and even shortens the life span. The above are some common symptoms of osteoporosis, and we hope that you can treat them in time. Estrogen, calcitonin, diphosphonate, isoproterenol, fluoride, vitamin K, parathyroid hormone, androgen, growth hormone, calcium vitamin D soft capsule, soy isoflavone soft capsule, etc. can be used to treat osteoporosis of the femur, and patients can choose the right one for themselves by consulting their doctors and according to their symptoms. Patients can choose the right medication for themselves by consulting their doctor and according to their symptoms.
