After menopause, women often suffer from bone mass loss due to decreased estrogen levels. If the problem is more serious, you may suffer from osteoporosis. Recently, however, I have seen a woman who has been menopausal, and she has bone mass loss, which is much more serious than normal. Later, after inquiry, it was found that the "culprit" was a bad habit in her life.
A menopausal woman, severe loss of bone mass, doctor: bad habits in life, must be prevented
Ms. Luo, 56, has recently experienced joint pain throughout her body. At first, she thought it was a normal manifestation of menopause, who knew that the discomfort was getting worse and worse, so she had to come to the hospital for treatment. After I learned about the situation, I suggested that she check her bone mass, and after getting the examination report, I found that her bone mass loss was very serious.
Although I know that women do lose bone mass after menopause, it is generally not so serious. So I said to the patient: the current situation is that you need to be prescribed medication, and by the way, you must understand your usual situation and find out the reason for accelerated bone loss. Only after finding the cause and improving the problem will the effect of prescribing medication and treatment be good.
Later, after a series of inquiries, it was found that ms. Luo's life had the following problems, and these problems were the reasons for the serious loss of bone mass.
The first question: I usually eat more salt, and I especially like to eat pickles
The structure of Ms. Luo's daily diet is actually very healthy, but after asking about the taste, I found that she loves to eat salty. The pickles in the house are basically not broken, and sometimes she will pickle the pickles herself. In the edible salt, there are actually more sodium ions, and the sodium and calcium inside the human body belong to the equilibrium state.
If you eat too much salt, calcium will be lost, but in order to ensure health, the body will obtain calcium from the daily diet to maintain blood calcium balance. At this time, the calcium that is usually supplemented cannot enter the bones, and if the demand is not enough, the body will also obtain calcium from the bones, so it will lead to the problem of bone mass loss.
Second problem: Rarely stay outside for fear of tanning
Although Ms. Luo is 56 years old, she is usually well maintained and her skin is very white. So I asked about the sun, and she said that she drove out every day, and the car was driven to the basement, every day early and late, basically not in the sun. And she didn't want to get in the sun, mainly afraid that her skin would darken.
However, vitamin D in the body can be produced by irradiation with the sun, and although it can be obtained through food, it should still be properly basked in the sun. The presence of this nutrient is conducive to the absorption of calcium by the body, but if it is lacking, the calcium supplemented in the diet may be continuously lost, and the bone mass will also be lost.
The third problem: never exercise, feel unnecessary
Ms. Luo has never had the habit of exercising, because she feels that she is very healthy, so she does not need to enhance her physique through exercise, thinking that exercise is completely unnecessary for her. However, moderate exercise can not only enhance physical fitness, but also have certain benefits for bone health. If you never exercise, the bones will not be stimulated to a certain extent, and the bone production will be affected, so there will also be bone mass loss.
The above is the problem of Ms. Luo, postmenopausal women, may wish to check themselves to see if they have these habits. If there is, it is recommended to correct it in time to avoid bone mass loss, which will have a certain impact on physical health.
How should women with bone loss raise bones?
As mentioned above, women will have a certain amount of bone mass loss after menopause, so how should they deal with it? In the case, Ms. Luo is conditioned by correcting her living habits and taking drugs, is it suitable for all women?
The way to correct living habits is indeed suitable for many women, but taking drugs is not the preferred method. The reason why Ms. Luo took the drug was mainly because the bone mass loss was more serious. For most women, the situation is still relatively mild, so it is recommended that you take the way of food supplementation.
What is the food supplement? Of course, calcium is an important part of bone synthesis. Therefore, in life, you may wish to eat more foods with high calcium content, such as milk, sesame, rape, etc. If you find that the problem is still not improved, then you can choose calcium tablet supplementation, preferably calcium tablets containing vitamin D, as for the reason, the above has been introduced to you.
In summary, it is actually very common for postmenopausal women to lose calcium. But Ms. Luo, there is a serious bone loss, and there is a close relationship with her living habits. Therefore, you may wish to check yourself to see if you exist, and if you do, you should make improvements as soon as possible.
