Back Pain May Be A Warning Sign Of Osteoporosis
Back Pain May Be A Warning Sign Of Osteoporosis
Dr. Virayut Chaopricha, a specialist in bone and joint disorders at Vibhavadi Hospital, provided an interview with Thairath newspaper, warning about the importance of not underestimating back pain and the threat of osteoporosis.
Indeed, the absence of illness is considered a precious blessing, yet it does not mean that we have full control over our body's functions. Dr. Virayut Chaopricha cautioned that osteoporosis has become a global menace, with an estimated rate of two bone fractures per minute within the next 50 years.
Dr. Virayut enlightened us on the current significant issues regarding bone diseases, namely osteoporosis and easy fractures. Numerous patients seek treatment at hospitals on a daily basis, often requiring surgical interventions for conditions such as hip fractures. Some individuals visit doctors due to severe back pain, spinal deformities, or debilitating bone pain that hinders their ability to walk. These symptoms serve as alarming indicators of potential osteoporosis. This disease is becoming a major global problem, on par with the World Health Organization's initiatives to educate the general public about osteoporosis. Within the next 50 years, it is estimated that there will be two bone fracture patients per minute worldwide.
Regarding the risk factors contributing to the development of osteoporosis, Dr. Virayut stated that there are numerous causes, with one of the main factors being chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and thyroid disorders. Malnutrition or insufficient calcium intake is another risk factor, as well as sedentary lifestyle, long-term steroid use, individuals over the age of 40, menopausal women, and those who consume alcohol and smoke regularly. These groups are all considered at high risk.
Nevertheless, Dr. Virayut emphasized that many people still overlook the importance of osteoporosis and tend to disregard it until it becomes too severe to ignore, prompting them to seek medical attention. Several individuals possess risk factors but are unaware and fail to receive treatment. For instance, even minor accidents or low-impact collisions can lead to bone fractures. Complications arising from such fractures can result in severe disabilities, making it difficult for individuals to walk.
To prevent the silent eruption of osteoporosis within our bodies, it is essential to pay close attention to our physical well-being. If there are any slight signs or indications, it is crucial to consult a bone specialist promptly at the "Bone and Joint Center" of Vibhavadi Hospital by calling 0-2561-1111 ext 1.
