At the age of 45-55, pain in these 2 places says that the bones are starting to weaken! Protect bones in old age with 6 tips
Bones begin to weaken with increasing age. But due to changing lifestyle this problem is seen in young people. Osteoporosis (weakening of the bones) is more common in women than men. This is a common problem in women after menopause. Pain in back, hip and other organs increases. Sometimes women are also prone to fractures. Therefore, it is very important for women to have a bone scan once every year after menopause.
Causes of weak bones in women
Dr. Abhishek Kumar Mishra, orthopedic surgeon, Apollo Spectra, Delhi, says that women in the age group of 45 to 55 years are more prone to bone pain and bone fractures. Therefore, postmenopausal women need calcium and vitamin D supplements. During this period, women are more likely to develop osteoporosis, a disorder in which bones weaken, reducing their density. Other causes of weak bones in women include:
1-Due to changes in hormonal levels
Postmenopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis.
3-Decreasing estrogen levels during menopause increases bone loss.
4-In the first five years after menopause, women experience an average loss of up to 10% of their bone mass.
The Silent Killer Osteoporosis
Dr. Abhishek Kumar Mishra says osteoporosis is a silent killer. A patient does not come to a doctor unless there is a complaint of pain. Therefore, the problem of osteoporosis often worsens due to lack of timely diagnosis. But once osteoporosis starts to weaken your bones, you may notice some signs and symptoms such as:
1-Back pain
2- Having a fracture in the spine.
Women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men. The risk of osteoporosis increases with increasing age. Apart from this, if someone in the family has this problem, the next generation people are at risk of getting this disease. Men and women with smaller body frames are at greater risk because they may lose bone mass at a younger age.
How to take care of your bones
These minerals are rapidly destroyed in women with an irregular lifestyle and aging. Due to which the density of bones decreases and they begin to weaken. That is why women need to pay special attention to certain things after menopause such as:
1- To maintain the amount of calcium in the body, calcium medicine should be taken with the doctor's advice.
2- Also do regular exercise
3-Vitamin D should be consumed.
4-Avoid consumption of alcohol, smoking, tobacco.
5- Consult a doctor immediately if there is any pain problem.
Early treatment can reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
