Osteoporosis after fracture...Himchan Hospital summarizes prevention and treatment on YouTube
Aug 01, 2025
Himchan Hospital deals in detail with osteoporosis, which can be delayed in detection and treatment because there are no special symptoms until the fracture occurs on YouTube . CEO Lee Soo-chan, an orthopedic surgeon, and Kim Joo-hyun, a neurosurgeon, will introduce the definition, cause, major symptoms, and treatment methods of osteoporosis together.
Osteoporosis refers to a condition in which the amount of bone is reduced and the quality of the bone is changed, which weakens the strength of the bone and is likely to cause fractures. It is caused by aging, and in particular, women are likely to develop osteoporosis due to the prolonged lifespan of bone-destroying cells due to lack of female hormones during menopause. The constituents of bone cells are mainly calcium and vitamin D, and taking them can help treat osteoporosis.
"It is important to check the bone density level through regular checkups because osteoporosis has no symptoms and recognizes osteoporosis only after a fracture occurs," said Kim Joo-hyun, head of the medical center. "In particular, it is recommended that women over 65 years of age undergo regular checkups after completion of the game."
If osteoporosis is confirmed through a bone density test, periodic treatment should prevent worsening of symptoms. There are various methods of osteoporosis treatment, such as drug treatment and injection treatment. Recently, there are several types of general injection treatment depending on the mechanism, and depending on the patient's condition, the injection is given every three or six months and the follow-up is conducted once a year. Through this treatment, the patient's bone density level is improved, and it is known that it actually improves by 10-20%.
Next week's follow-up will reveal information on various types of fractures and treatments that can occur due to osteoporosis, including the risk and treatment method of osteoporosis compression fractures and surgical treatment of osteoporosis vertebral fractures.
