Osteoporosis Its Reasons
  • A lot of people, mostly females over the age of
    fifty and males over the age of seventy, are
    susceptible to osteoporosis. They might have got
    information on bone densitometry as well as other
    exams in order to dispel any concerns about any
    of these exams, we will understand the disease,
    how it is diagnosed as well as talks about some
    possible cures.
  •  
  • Osteoporosis Its Reasons
  • Osteoporosis is a type of disease that leads to a
    steady loss of calcium as well as physical
    changes in the bones of your body. As a result of
    this, your bone starts getting thinner and more
    delicate and is more probable to break from mild
    traumas as well.
  •  
  • Studies do show that almost one out of five
    females over the age of fifty have osteoporosis.
    Almost half of all females over the age of fifty
    will have a cracking in the wrist, vertebra or
    hip.
  •  
  • The lowered estrogen levels female experiences at
    menopause, in addition to drop in testosterone in
    older males, are the main causes for the illness.
    Not unpredictably, females over age fifty and
    males over age seventy are much more expected to
    grieve from osteoporosis.

  • Few other causes are
  • Smoking
  • Low weight
  • Vitamin D shortage
  • Taking corticosteroid medications
  • Inadequate calcium in diet
  • Bone Densitometry
  • If you happen to have a family past of
    osteoporosis or if you have one of the above
    stated risk causes, your doctor might advise a
    bone density test. After the test, if it is
    detected that you have osteoporosis, then your
    doctor might likely recommend treatment to
    improve your bone strength and health. bone

    In most of the tests, you can be fully dressed
    and while you are lying on a softened table a
    scanner will pass over your lower hip and spine.
  •  
  • Other tests such as the peripheral DEXA, only
    scans the bone density of your leg, heel, fingers
    and wrist.

  • In both the cases, all you really should do is
    remove clothes, wear a medical gown, remove all
    jewelry and sit or lie still during the scanning
    process. Obviously, if you happen to be pregnant
    or had any other medical treatment in the recent
    past, you should inform the doctor beforehand.
  •  
  • The bone density exam scans the bone for mineral
    density and typically uses x ray technology to
    achieve this. The most used and accurate way is
    called as a dual energy x ray absorptiometry
    (DEXA) scan.
