Osteoporosis Treatment at RNH Hospital

At RNH Hospital, we provide comprehensive care for Osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. Our goal is not only to treat the disease but also to help you maintain strong, healthy bones for life.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis literally means “porous bones.” It occurs when bone density and quality are reduced, making bones thin and brittle. This condition often develops silently over the years, and many people only discover it after a minor fall or fracture.

Common areas affected include:
  • Spine: Spine osteoporosis is a condition where the bones in the spine become weak and brittle, making them more prone to fractures even from minor falls or movements.
  • Hips: Hip osteoporosis is a condition where the bones in the hip become weak due to loss of bone density, making them more prone to fractures. 
  • Wrists: Wrist osteoporosis occurs when the bones in the wrist become weak due to loss of bone density, increasing the risk of fractures even from minor falls.

Early detection and expert management are key to preventing fractures and maintaining mobility.

Signs and Symptoms

Osteoporosis often shows no symptoms until a fracture occurs, but some warning signs include:

  • Frequent bone fractures: Frequent bone fractures are a common sign of osteoporosis, as weakened bones become more fragile and prone to breaking even with minor falls or injuries.
  • Loss of height over time: One of the common signs of osteoporosis is a gradual loss of height over time.
  • Stooped or hunched posture: A stooped or hunched posture, often called a “dowager’s hump,” is a common sign of advanced osteoporosis.
  • Persistent back pain: Persistent back pain can be a warning sign of osteoporosis, often caused by small fractures in the spinal bones due to weakened bone strength.

If you notice any of these, it’s time to consult our specialists.

Our Approach to Osteoporosis Treatment

At RNH Hospital, we follow a comprehensive, evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s needs.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Our specialists perform:
  • Bone Mineral Density (BMD) testing (DEXA scan)

  • Medical history review to assess risk factors

Personalized Treatment Plan

Depending on the severity, age, and health condition, treatment may include:
1. Medications to strengthen bones and prevent bone loss
      • Bisphosphonates
      • Hormone therapy (HRT)
      • Calcium and Vitamin D supplements
      • Newer biologic therapies 
2. Lifestyle modifications
      • Nutrition plans rich in calcium and vitamin D
