Bone hyperplasia, do you still need calcium supplementation? Listen to the doctor.

Osteoproliferation is a well-known disease of middle-aged and elderly people, and it is inevitable that both working people and professional white-collar workers will have growing pains with age. But we young people have also begun to become "targets" of hyperosteogeny. With the improvement of medical awareness, people pay more and more attention to their own health. Because of this, it is common to take medicine and see a doctor indiscriminately. A few days ago, a patient in the clinic asked, "I have hyperosteogeny." What calcium tablets should I eat? " Dr. Tian Tian said that it is necessary to correct this misunderstanding with this torture that hits the soul directly.

1. What disease is hyperosteogeny?

Osteoproliferation is generally considered as a degenerative change of bones after middle age, and there are many reasons, such as standing or walking for a long time, maintaining a certain posture and so on. In this case, due to the systematization of muscle traction, avulsion, bleeding and hematoma, spiny or labial hyperostosis, that is, "bone spur" in the general population, produces mechanical stimulation to soft tissue and causes corresponding clinical symptoms. IT can be seen that hyperosteogeny is not only a problem for the elderly, but also for the younger generation, such as IT, accounting, sedentary students, drivers, white-collar workers and so on.

2. Should hyperosteogeny be supplemented with calcium?

From the point of view of nutrition, there are similarities between hyperosteogeny and osteoporosis, both of which are caused by long-term calcium deficiency. Why do you say that? As an organ that supports the body, bones are particularly sensitive to the change of force, and then constantly rebuild their structure and shape according to the change of force. When they suffer from aging, injury, obesity, abnormal bone metabolism, endocrine disorders, neurotrophic disorders, changes in blood circulation and other factors, they cause bone reconstruction, bone destruction and secondary bone hyperplasia. Therefore, osteoporosis and hyperosteogeny can be summarized as calcium deficiency diseases, and osteoporosis and hyperosteogeny often coexist in clinic. Moreover, patients with hyperosteogeny are basically local inflammation with osteoarthritis, so hyperosteogeny and osteoarthritis are almost a good partner. Therefore, it is appropriate to supplement calcium for hyperosteogeny. By supplementing calcium, on the one hand, it can promote the absorption of calcium, on the other hand, it can inhibit the excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (the hormone that regulates blood phosphorus and blood calcium in the body), reduce blood calcium content and increase bone calcium content, and finally achieve the effect of preventing and treating both hyperosteogeny and osteoporosis.

3. Can prevention of hyperosteogeny only rely on early calcium supplementation?

To prevent osteoporosis, we need to start early. In addition to "supplementing what is lacking", calcium should be supplemented as soon as possible, and good habits should be formed in daily life. First of all, keep the correct standing posture and sitting posture to avoid injury: if you sit for more than 1 hour continuously, you should get up and stretch your body to prevent lumbar muscle strain and joint injury. Secondly, proper weight control and weight reduction: overweight will aggravate the wear of articular cartilage, make the stress on articular cartilage uneven, cause hyperosteogeny, reduce weight, and control weight, which not only protects joints, but also is of great benefit to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, cartilage nutrition should be properly supplemented: hyperosteogeny is mainly caused by cartilage wear, so it is very important to protect cartilage, and glucosamine capsules can be taken reasonably in the early stage. Furthermore, pay attention to keep warm and prevent cold: cold stimulation, especially when the weather alternates, will make the muscles and blood vessels spasm and aggravate the pain, so pay attention to keep warm, especially the neck joints, which are most easily stimulated and easily overlooked. Finally, everyone is encouraged to participate in moderate exercise for half an hour every day to delay joint aging, but the elderly must avoid strenuous exercise, such as Tai Ji Chuan, square dance and broadcast gymnastics. But the exercise must not be too intense.

If hyperosteogeny has occurred, you need to take good care, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid climbing mountains, going up and down stairs and squatting down to work, supplement calcium, vitamin D and phosphate according to symptoms, and give glucosamine to nourish cartilage.
