Article Title
Osteoporosis, a common skeletal disease, has become a worldwide and growing concern with the ageing of the population. The so-called osteoporosis is a general disease characterized by a reduction in the bone mass and the destruction of the bone structure. The most common cases of osteoporosis occur among older women due to lower estrogen levels in the body after menopause and the loss of calcium from bone to blood that sustains bone strength. At this time, the bones are becoming thinner, and the existing tight structures are becoming more poignant than usual, leading to an increased risk of fracture. In addition, drug-induced (e.g. excessive hormonal use), age growth is an important influence. It can lead to reduced bone density and increased fractability, which in turn increases the risk of falling. Osteoporosis patients fall and are vulnerable to fractures, placing enormous physical and psychological pain and stress. I will introduce the hazards of osteoporosis, the method of preventing it from falling, and post-bone treatment measures to help people better understand and deal with it.
I. Hazards of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis results in thinning and fragile bones, making patients vulnerable to fractures in their daily activities. When fractures occur, the patient needs long periods of bed rest, is unable to function properly and is vulnerable to complications such as scabies, urinary tract infections, which cause enormous physical and psychological pain and stress. In addition, osteoporosis affects the quality of daily life of patients, making them difficult to walk, dress and bathe.
II. Methods to prevent falling
1. Periodic bone density checks: Persons with osteoporosis should undergo regular bone density checks in order to detect and intervene in a timely manner. At the same time, the examination also provides information on the state of his or her bones and provides a reference for preventing a fall.
2. Maintenance of good living habits: Osteoporosis patients should maintain a balanced diet, with more food enriched with calcium, vitamin D, etc., to promote bone health. At the same time, tobacco and alcohol restrictions should be avoided and the appropriate level of exercise should be maintained to improve body balance and flexibility.
3. Suitable shoes and clothing: Osteoporosis patients should select soft, smooth and loosely suitable shoes to reduce the risk of falling.
4. Access to assistive devices: For patients with mobility difficulties, walking stability and safety may be enhanced by the use of assistive devices such as crutches and mobility aids.
5. Periodic physical exercise: Physical exercise increases body flexibility and balance and reduces risk of falling. Osteoporosis patients can choose some mild aerobics, such as walking, jogging, etc.
III. Treatment of post-branch fractures
In the event of a fracture, the patient should be treated in a timely manner. Patients should remain quiet and avoid adverse irritation until fractures are properly addressed. At the same time, the family should assist the doctor in properly pacifying the limbs in order to reduce the pain and activity of the limbs and avoid secondary damage. Upon proper treatment of a fracture, the patient shall, on the recommendation of the doctor, undergo rehabilitation training to gradually restore muscle strength and joint activity.
In general, osteoporosis patients should strengthen their sense of self-protection and take effective preventive measures to reduce the risk of falling. At the same time, in the event of a fracture, medical attention should be provided in a timely manner, with the active cooperation of the doctor ‘ s recommendations for early recovery.
