What are the treatments for osteoporosis

  The current treatment of osteoporosis includes the following methods: 1. Symptomatic treatment: For postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis, the treatment is mainly symptomatic. (1) Calcium supplementation: normal people need 10 mg/kg of body weight of calcium per day, and osteoporotic people need 17 mg/kg of body weight of calcium per day to maintain calcium balance, which can be supplemented from the diet, such as chicken soup, row of slippery soup, milk, shrimp, tofu, green vegetables, etc. are rich in calcium food, and can also use calcium tablets, and take calcium every night before bedtime 1 (2) vitamin D: it is not effective for simple osteoporosis, if it is accompanied by osteochondrosis, vitamin D can be added and used together with calcium and sex hormones; (3) inorganic phosphate: it can improve osteoporosis after fracture; calcitonin: it can inhibit the activity of osteoclasts and slow down the decomposition and metabolism of bone, which can reduce blood calcium and stimulate new bone formation; (4) bone pain treatment: painkillers, calcitonin, etc.  (2) Drug therapy: (1) Bone peptide tablet, which is used to treat rheumatoid rheumatism, is the only oral bone peptide preparation, can directly reach the site of osteoporosis, good targeting, contains a variety of bone growth factors.  (2) Alendronate (alendronate): the trade name Fosamax inhibits the effect of osteoclasts and has the effect of both prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.  (3) Calcitonin: absorbed by subcutaneous, intramuscular or nasal injection, effective for women with osteoporosis who have stopped menstruating for more than five years. Side effects include loss of appetite, flushing, rash, nausea and dizziness.  (4) Calcium and vitamin D: The combination is more effective. Calcium edge tablets contain vitamin D. Vitamin D is the carrier of calcium ions absorbed by bone marrow, so that the body can increase the absorption of calcium ions exponentially and better absorption.  (5) Hormone supplementation therapy: Estrogen plus luteinizing hormone can prevent and treat osteoporosis. If there is no uterus, progesterone is not needed.  However, as soon as the medication is stopped, the rate of bone loss will begin to accelerate, so long-term treatment is necessary.  3.Physical therapy: There are many kinds of physical therapy, such as ultra-short wave, far infrared, Chinese herbal medicine iontophoresis, etc., which can promote the absorption of sterile inflammation in soft tissues such as muscle fascia and relieve muscle tension, thus eliminating pain. Physiotherapy is suitable for patients with osteoporosis who have low back or other bits of pain.  4.Comprehensive treatment: At present, there is no special treatment for osteoporosis, and comprehensive treatment must be adhered to in order to effectively improve bone metabolism, reduce bone loss or increase bone mass, and alleviate and mitigate clinical symptoms. Modern medicine has five common methods for the comprehensive treatment of osteoporosis: drug therapy, exercise therapy, physical therapy, nutritional therapy, and surgical therapy.
