Our patient-centred approach ensures that your bone health is in expert hands, empowering you to lead a healthier, more active life with confidence.

What is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is often referred to as a “silent killer” because it typically has no symptoms until a fracture occurs. It is a condition where bones become weak and brittle due to decreased bone density, significantly increasing the risk of fractures.

Osteopenia is an early stage of bone loss that is less severe than osteoporosis but still indicates lower-than-normal bone density. While osteopenia may not lead to immediate fractures, it can progress into osteoporosis if left untreated.

Hormonal changes, such as decreased oestrogen in postmenopausal women, can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis. Learn more about managing menopause at OT&P.

Early detection and prevention are key to maintaining strong bones and reducing the risk of fractures. Regular screening and lifestyle changes can help manage bone health effectively.

Diagnosis of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is diagnosed through a bone density test, commonly known as a DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan. This painless test measures bone mineral density (BMD) at critical sites like the hip and spine to assess bone health.

Early diagnosis is crucial in preventing fractures and managing bone health effectively. At OT&P, we provide expert bone density testing to help detect and monitor osteoporosis, allowing for timely treatment and prevention strategies.

Osteoporosis FAQs

How to prevent osteoporosis?

To prevent osteoporosis, focus on a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, engage in weight-bearing exercises, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol. Regular DEXA screenings are crucial for assessing bone density, especially if you're at risk. Staying active and making healthy lifestyle choices can significantly reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis.

What are the common causes of osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis can result from several factors, including age-related bone density decline, especially in older adults, and hormonal changes such as decreased oestrogen in postmenopausal women and low testosterone in men. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly insufficient calcium and vitamin D, also play a significant role. A sedentary lifestyle can weaken bones, while long-term use of certain medications, like corticosteroids, further impacts bone health. Chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and hyperthyroidism can exacerbate the risk.

What are 5 common symptoms of osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is often symptomless until a fracture occurs, but some signs to watch for include:

  • Back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra
  • Loss of height over time
  • A stooped posture
  • Fractures that occur more easily than expected
  • Brittle bones leading to breaks from minor injuries

Osteopenia vs Osteoporosis: What’s the difference?

Osteopenia is an early stage of bone loss that suggests lower-than-normal bone density but is less severe than osteoporosis. While osteopenia increases the risk of fractures, it is often manageable through lifestyle changes. Osteoporosis, however, is more advanced, leading to a significantly higher risk of fractures, even from minor injuries. Understanding the distinction helps with early intervention.

How does menopause cause osteoporosis?

Menopause leads to a sharp decline in oestrogen, a hormone critical for maintaining bone density. Lower oestrogen levels result in increased bone resorption (breakdown), leading to bone loss and a higher risk of developing osteoporosis.

What supplements can help manage osteoporosis?

Calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin K, and omega-3 fatty acids are key supplements that support bone health. Consult a healthcare provider to determine the right dosage based on your needs.

Does drinking coffee cause osteoporosis?

Moderate coffee consumption is not directly linked to osteoporosis, but excessive caffeine intake may interfere with calcium absorption and contribute to bone loss. Balance coffee intake with sufficient calcium in your diet to mitigate any risk.
