Homeopathy and Osteoporosis :
Osteoporosis is a bone disorder characterized by weakened bones, making them fragile and more susceptible to fractures. It occurs when the density and quality of bone are reduced. The condition is often asymptomatic in its early stages, progressing silently until a fracture occurs. Factors contributing to osteoporosis include hormonal changes, aging, and nutritional deficiencies.
Types of Osteoporosis:
- Primary Osteoporosis
- Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: Common in women after menopause due to hormonal changes.
- Senile Osteoporosis: Age-related bone loss affecting both men and women.
- Secondary Osteoporosis
- Resulting from Other Conditions: Caused by medications, diseases, or treatments affecting bone density.
Causes of Osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle, making them more prone to fractures. It occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. Below are some common causes of osteoporosis:
- Aging: Bone density naturally decreases with age, particularly after 50.
- Hormonal Imbalance: Reduced estrogen levels in women (especially after menopause) and low testosterone in men contribute to bone loss.
- Nutritional Deficiency: Inadequate calcium and vitamin D intake weakens bones.
- Lack of Physical Activity: Sedentary lifestyle and lack of weight-bearing exercises can cause bones to weaken.
- Genetic Predisposition: Family history of osteoporosis increases the risk.
- Smoking and Alcohol: Both smoking and heavy alcohol consumption are known to reduce bone strength.
- Medications: Long-term use of corticosteroids or other medications can weaken bones.
Osteoporosis Symptoms are :
- Silent in Early Stages: Osteoporosis often shows no signs in the beginning.
- Frequent Fractures: Weak bones may break easily, especially in the spine, wrist, or hip.
- Back Pain: Fractures or collapsed vertebrae in the spine can cause back pain.
- Loss of Height: Over time, spinal fractures can lead to a noticeable decrease in height.
- Stooped Posture: A curved or hunched back, also known as a “dowager’s hump,” can develop due to bone fractures.
