Chronic pain has become a common disease that endangers human health. International Pain Society sets the first day of the third week of October every year as " World Analgesic Day ", and the next week is "China Analgesic Week". Many people don’t know that pain is also closely related to osteoporosis .

On October 17, on the occasion of "World Pain Analgesic Day", Jimu News specially invited Wang Yunxia, ​​director of the Pain Department of Hubei Province Third People's Hospital (Provincial Zhongshan Hospital), to visit our newspaper's "Citizens Have an Appointment, Chutian Famous Doctor Lecture Hall" to explain to the general public how to scientifically deal with osteoporosis and stay away from pain and torture.

Beware! It is the "silent killer"

"Many elderly patients come to the hospital for treatment due to back pain. Once they go to the pain department for examination, they found that most elderly people suffer from osteoporosis." Wang Yunxia introduced that osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by reduced bone mass, damaged bone microstructure, resulting in increased bone fragility and prone to fractures. Osteoporosis has become the main disease that plagues the elderly, and its incidence rate follows diabetes and Alzheimer's disease , ranking third among elderly diseases. The biggest harm of osteoporosis is that it is prone to fractures, and the incidence rate of fractures related to osteoporosis is as high as more than 30% in the elderly.

"Most patients have no symptoms in the early stage, and repeated pain in the lower back joints are often ignored. They often wait until the fracture to know that they have severe osteoporosis." Wang Yunxia introduced that the onset of osteoporosis is quiet, and early screening, early prevention, and early treatment is necessary.

The first epidemiological survey of osteoporosis in China released by the National Health Commission results show that the prevalence of osteoporosis among people over 50 is 19.2%, the prevalence of women over 50 is 32.1%, and the prevalence of osteoporosis among women over 65 is 51.6%. Wang Yunxia pointed out that the disease is more than men, and is common in , women and the elderly after menopause. After menopause, women's estrogen levels have sharply decreased, accelerating bone loss. With the increase in the elderly population in my country, the incidence of osteoporosis is on an upward trend, which is a health issue worthy of attention in my country and even the world.

"The common clinical manifestations of osteoporosis are hunchback, shortening of height, and pain in the waist and back. Some elderly people will have symptoms such as soft waist and knees, weak lower limbs, etc. Among them, fractures are the biggest harm of osteoporosis and the most common cause of death and disability in the elderly. It not only increases the patient's pain, but also the accompanying complications can even endanger life." Wang Yunxia added, "The common fractures of osteoporosis are in the hips, spine, The wrist, among which hip fractures are the most harmful, and are also called the 'last fracture in life', because after the fracture, they will cause serious complications such as lung infection , venous thrombosis , and even life-threatening. "

, , 688-year-old Li (pseudonym), who lives in , Qiaokou , is in good spirits. One day, he suddenly sneezes while drying clothes on the balcony, causing back pain. He didn't care much at first, and the pain worsened a few days later and was restricted in movement. After visiting the Pain Department of Hubei Third People's Hospital for treatment, he took an X-ray and showed a "compressive vertebral fracture".Uncle Zhang couldn't believe it, "Is he broken after a sneeze?" Wang Yunxia discovered that the "root" that caused his fracture was osteoporosis. Wang Yunxia's team performed "vertebral shaping" on him, injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to increase the strength and stability of the vertebra. After timely treatment, two days after the operation, Mr. Zhang's pain was relieved and successfully discharged from the hospital.

Wang Yunxia reminds that when the elderly experience repeated low back pain, they should pay attention and be vigilant, go to regular hospitals in time to take a video and bone density examination to clarify the specific degree of osteoporosis.

Prevention! Adjust your lifestyle and health without "discounting"

How to prevent and treat osteoporosis? Wang Yunxia emphasized that lifestyle is very important. A balanced diet rich in calcium, low salt and appropriate amount of protein is beneficial to prevent osteoporosis; expose the skin as much as possible to sunlight for 15 to 30 minutes, twice a week to promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body; it is suitable for exercise for patients with osteoporosis, such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi , yoga, dance, etc.; quit smoking and limit alcohol, avoid excessive drinking of coffee and carbonated beverage , and try to avoid or use less drugs that affect bone metabolism.

"The most effective prevention and treatment method is to put the work first". The prevention of osteoporosis is not early at any time, nor late at any time." Wang Yunxia said that since osteoporosis is affected by a variety of risk factors, in addition to the above prevention and treatment methods, people with low bone mass should be subject to risk assessment of osteoporosis to screen for high-risk risks, which is beneficial to early prevention and treatment. Risk assessment tools include the 1-minute risk test questions of the International Osteoporosis Foundation, quantitative ultrasound, etc. She suggested that under the guidance of a clinician, scientific and reasonable evaluation methods and early detection of problems should be selected, and corresponding protective measures should be taken in a timely manner to reduce the occurrence of fractures.

Wang Yunxia reminds you not to wait until a fracture or severe pain occurs before coming to the hospital. Osteoporosis is preventable. Only by actively preventing, early detection and early treatment can you have healthy bones.
