What is Osteoporosis?
My sister-in-law is about 6 months pregnant and she is diagonsed with Osteoporosis.
How can I help her?
Answers:
Osteoporosis is where the bones don't take in Calcium as well. It usually happens after pregnancy when the mother is breastfeeding and doesn't have enough calcium. It slowly deteriorates teh bones and they become spongey in a way. Older people with it will have big hunches in their backs from their bones deteriorating like that. Also people can break bones much more easily. A simple fall can break a wrist or a leg.
There's nothing you can really do to help her... she just has to take her medication that helps her body soak up the calcium and she has to have checkups on her bones to see how dense they are. Also she could buy expensive Calcium and Vitamin D chewable things so there is more for her to have.
It is caused by a lack of calcium. She needs at LEAST 1,200 MG of calcium a day during pregnancy.
Osteoporosis is when your bones weaken. Their structure becomes more porous and less solid. There are medications her doctor can prescribe.
The only thing you can do is encourage her to get her calcium every day and catch her if she falls. Hip fractures are common in women with Osteoporosis. Of course they're usually elderly.
It is not a disease-but a deficiency of calcium, which can be made up with extra calcium intake. If not controlled, it leads to weakness in bones later
Osteoporosis means: brittle bones.
Get cheweable calcium squares at the market. They look and taste like caramel squares
weak bones, needs to intake more calcium to build the bones
Osteoporosis is a disease of bone in which the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is changed. Osteoporotic bones are more susceptible to fracture. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as either a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old person standard) as measured by DXA, or any fragility fracture. While treatment modalities are becoming available, prevention is still the most important way to reduce fracture. Due to its hormonal component, more women, particularly after menopause, suffer from osteoporosis than men.
Osteoporosis can be thought of as analogous to "sarcopenia", which is the age-related loss of skeletal muscle. The combination of sarcopenia and osteporosis results in the significant frailty often seen in the elderly population
Prevention of Osteoporosis:
Women may help prevent osteoporosis by:
Maintaining a balanced diet, rich in calcium
Performing regular weight-bearing exercise or activity
Not smoking
Limiting alcohol intake
Using medications such as hormone replacement therapy when appropriate
The Importance of Calcium and Vitamin D
Maintaining a diet rich in calcium is one of the best ways to help prevent osteoporosis since the body stores 99% of calcium in bones and teeth (the remaining 1% is stored in the blood and soft tissue).
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist.
Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip and spine. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery. It can impair a person's ability to walk unassisted and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or vertebral fractures also have serious consequences, including loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity
She needs to take more calcium than what she is currently. The baby is pulling calcium from her bones and teeth and not from her diet like it is supposed to. so she needs to take a vitamin D (specifically) and and calcium cocktail so that she replaces the calcium that she needs in her system. The vitamin D increases the calcium uptake in her system.
Osteoporosis is a disease of bone in which the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone micro architecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is changed. Osteoporotic bones are SUSCEPTIBLE FRACTURE. So be careful.
Sorry to hear that. Pregnancy is really hard on the body if you have osteosporosis because if your sister-in-law does not consume enough calcium to support her needs and the needs of the growing baby, the baby just takes the calcium from the mom's bones thus making the condition even worse! Then breast feeding again drains calcium from her already brittle bones if she doesnt take enough calcium. She needs to drink lots of milk and take her prenatal vistamins and if the doctor says ok, then extra calcium. She should walk, 'cause excercise helps strenghten bones and keep an eye on her calcium consumption always! Vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium and so is estrogen. Check out what foods have vitamin D, (you can get if also from sunlight!) and I hope her doc keeps an eye on her hormone levels
