"IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum offers dedicated care for Osteoporosis, emphasizing early diagnosis and personalized treatment through bone density screening, lifestyle guidance, and medication to prevent fractures and preserve bone health."
Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disorder marked by reduced calcium levels and decreased bone density, making bones fragile and more prone to fractures. It most commonly affects the spine, hips, and forearms. Often referred to as a “silent epidemic,” it progresses without symptoms until a fracture occurs. The condition is especially prevalent in postmenopausal women due to hormonal changes that accelerate bone loss.
Bone Density Screening, commonly done using a DEXA scan, measures bone mineral content to detect Osteoporosis early. It helps assess fracture risk and guides treatment planning. The scan is quick, non-invasive, and essential for postmenopausal women and elderly individuals, allowing timely intervention to prevent bone loss and related complications.
Bisphosphonates are a standard treatment for Osteoporosis, helping slow bone loss and increase bone density. These medications work by inhibiting bone resorption, thereby reducing the risk of fractures in the spine, hip, and other vulnerable areas. Bisphosphonate therapy is usually long-term and is monitored regularly to ensure effective and safe results.
Hormone Replacement Therapy is used in some postmenopausal women to restore declining estrogen levels, which play a crucial role in maintaining bone density. HRT can prevent Osteoporosis and reduce fracture risk, especially in early menopause. It is prescribed carefully after evaluating the individual’s risk profile for cardiovascular and cancer-related conditions.
