Misconceptions of patients with osteoporosis

  1, drinking bone broth can prevent osteoporosis. The calcium content in a bowl of milk is much higher than a bowl of bone broth, which dissolves a lot of fat inside the bone and may also cause other health problems when consumed regularly.  2, treatment of osteoporosis is equal to calcium supplementation. Osteoporosis is caused by the influence of osteoclasts greater than osteoblasts in the human body, as well as the speed of bone resorption exceeding the speed of bone formation. Therefore, the treatment of osteoporosis is not just calcium supplementation, but comprehensive treatment to improve bone mass, enhance bone strength and prevent fractures.  3, osteoporosis is a phenomenon unique to the elderly and has nothing to do with young people. Osteoporosis is not the “patent” of the elderly. If you neglect exercise in your youth, often picky or diet, and have an unbalanced diet, resulting in a low intake of calcium in your diet, osteoporosis will have the opportunity to invade young people. Therefore, prevention of osteoporosis should be started early so that the ideal peak bone mass can be obtained in young age.  4. It is too late to treat osteoporosis in the elderly. Many elderly people think that osteoporosis cannot be reversed and that treatment is no longer effective in old age, so they give up treatment, which is a great pity. From the point of view of treatment, the earlier the treatment, the better the effect. Therefore, once the elderly are diagnosed with osteoporosis, they should receive regular treatment to reduce the pain and improve the quality of life.  5.Discovery of osteoporosis by self-perception. Most patients with osteoporosis do not have abnormal sensations or feel insignificant in the early stage. Do not rely on self-perception to detect osteoporosis, and do not wait until you find yourself with back pain or fractures before going to the clinic. High-risk groups should go to the hospital regularly for bone density checkups, regardless of whether they have symptoms or not, to help understand changes in bone density.  6, osteoporosis is a minor disease, treatment need not be a big deal. Osteoporosis is usually more than just back pain, once a fragility fracture occurs, especially hip fractures in elderly patients, resulting in long-term bed rest and high mortality.  7, osteoporosis treatment on their own medication can be, without the need to see a specialist. For patients who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, they should go to a regular hospital early and receive comprehensive treatment from a specialist.  8, osteoporosis is prone to fracture, it is better to be still than to move. Maintaining normal bone density and bone strength requires constant exercise stimulation, and lack of exercise will result in bone loss. Physical exercise has a positive effect on the prevention of osteoporosis.  9. After fracture surgery, the bones are normal. Fracture surgery is only a form of treatment for local lesions, while the risk of fracture in the whole body bones is not changed. Therefore, it is important not only to actively treat fractures, but also to objectively evaluate the health of your bones in order to diagnose and treat osteoporosis in a timely manner and prevent the recurrence of fractures.
