Stem Cell Treatment for Osteoporosis in Delhi, India
Osteoporosis is a long-term problem that makes bones weaker, making them fragile and more susceptible to fracture. Patients with osteoporosis have difficulty performing basic movements, as the weakened bones are easily fractured by a negligible stress point. Fractures frequently occur in the spine, hips, and wrists, and those fractures inhibit motion and independence. The structural denial of osteoporosis is caused by the natural removal (thinning) of bone structure, often seen with the aging population, just like calcium loss relates to decreases in bone rebuilding. In India, osteoporotic patients are increasingly considering stem cell therapy as an advanced and effective treatment for osteoporosis that promotes regeneration and healthier bone density.
Osteoporosis indicates that women are more vulnerable than men. In fact, a fracture due to osteoporosis is more likely to happen to a woman than a heart attack, stroke, or a combined breast cancer event. Approximately 50% of women will experience a fracture in their lifetime, as women are 80% of osteoporosis cases globally. Men are near 20% of osteoporosis patients but are at higher risk of mortality for also being injured from adjacent implications of fractures, especially from hip fractures. Studies have indicated that 1 in 3 of all hip fractures occur to men, with nearly 37% of those men dying during the first year of their fracture, often due to complications. Unfortunately, this substantiates our public health problem regarding the role of osteoporosis.
Symptoms of Osteoporosis
The first stages of bone loss are very subtle, and the trouble is most of the symptoms in this situation are non-specific and come to the surface after the bones have already deteriorated along with being affected by the illness more than 50%. Symptoms that may strike you would encompass height loss, a bent posture, and increased fractured bones, and pain usually comes from spine fractures, yet they can also be asymptomatic. Stem cell therapy for osteoporosis in India treats the illness effectively and treats it well.
Types of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis can be defined as a medical condition involving an excessive amount of bone loss to a fragile and brittle point whereby half or all of the fragile bone is replaced by thinner, more fragile tissue. These bones become progressively weaker to where falling can fracture these bones and can produce deformities with impact forces no matter what the level of injury may be. This condition can lead to debilitating pain and permanent deformities as it continues to progress.
There are also 2 different types of osteoporosis as described below:
Primary Osteoporosis:
Primary osteoporosis is usually when calcium and other minerals in the body are broken down faster than they are being made. Older people can also be older men or older women affected by osteoporosis from aging or other nutritional reasons; however, osteoporosis, which is a degenerative disease of the skeletal system, primarily affects postmenopausal women.
Secondary Osteoporosis:
Secondary osteoporosis is a condition that may have many causes and may sometimes be directly related to medications or other health conditions. An example complication that contributes to secondary osteoporosis occurs when you have too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism), which causes your body to metabolize minerals that help to create bone as well as draw from other bony structures, e.g., teeth.
Causes of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between new bone formation (building) and old bone resorption (breaking down). The body may fail to build enough new bone, resorb too much old bone, or both. Bones have a very high demand for calcium and phosphate. If dietary or absorbed minerals are below the desired level, this endangers bone tissue, making it more frail and increasing fracture risk. Another problem is that calcium also plays other critical roles for organs like the heart and the brain. If dietary calcium is low, the body withdraws calcium from bone storage to maintain blood levels, which can slowly compromise bone health.
Bone loss usually occurs without overt symptoms and can progress over years. Many patients only learn they have osteoporosis when they suffer a fracture, which often represents advanced bone loss. Hormonal deficiency, especially estrogen in women and androgen in men, exists in most cases of osteoporosis. Women above the age of 60, but especially post-menopausal women, are at the greatest risk of loss because of declining estrogen levels. Other contributors to declining bone health include lack of diet (calcium and vitamin D), weight-bearing exercise, and the aging process (loss of hormone).
Some other risk factors include:
- Sex (female), thin, small bone frame
- Family history of osteoporosis
- Early menopause or menopause due to surgery
- Smoking, alcohol abuse, lack of exercise
- Pathologic use of corticosteroids and anticonvulsants
- Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis
These factors generally can aggravate or encompass!
Diagnosis of Osteoporosis
When assessing for osteoporosis or other related conditions, doctors will collect a thorough medical history, review current habits and symptoms, and then do a battery of blood tests and imaging tests. If a liver complication is suspected, they may even recommend a liver biopsy for assessment.
Typical blood tests include:
- Liver function tests, which ascertain how the liver is performing.
- Prothrombin time (PT/INR) or partial thromboplastin time, which measures blood-clotting ability. Since clotting factors are elaborated in the liver, assessing the prothrombin time gives a decent indication of liver function.
- Levels of albumin and total serum protein, because low levels can indicate liver dysfunction.
- Bilirubin test. If bilirubin levels are elevated, then liver dysfunction is more likely, or jaundice is caused by the breakdown of hemoglobin.
- Evaluation for liver enzyme levels and inflammation is important, too: AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase), and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), when elevated, either indicate damage to liver cells or that an injury is still ongoing.
- GGT (gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase), if elevated, suggests alcohol use or disorders of bile ducts.
- ALP (alkaline phosphatase): elevated levels may suggest a blockage in the bile ducts.
At Cell Cure India in Delhi, we provide patients with full diagnostic work-ups, including these lab and imaging tests, before personalized stem cell therapy for osteoporosis begins in order to find a safe and congruent treatment.
Treatment of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis care should consider factors such as age, bone density, and general health. While traditional treatment includes most often calcium and vitamin D, history shows that these protocols simply “build” and strengthen, as opposed to reversing. Osteoporosis is a subject that stem cell therapy can address holistically, since therapy rebuilds bone and connective tissue through promoting cellular processes in order to stimulate the body to make new bone in addition to connective tissue. Patients engaging in mesenchymal stem cell therapy will customize their therapy to restore weakened areas of bone, which significantly reduces risk factors for fractures and osteoporosis expressed as bone loss that can be reversed through therapy.
Stem cell therapy refers to the use of a unique cell line called “mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).” The focus on MSCs is relevant in adjacent biological systems since they can be isolated from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and adipose tissue, where they can differentiate into bone-forming cells in a precise matrix that restores mineral density. Restoration of mineral density enhances and restores natural bone remodeling and reduces the risk and frequency of fractures while extending the life of the skeleton. Unlike prescribed antiresorptive or anabolic drugs, stem cells do not have side effects while utilizing the body’s natural repair processes.
Patients engaged in therapy from Cell Cure India are treated because intravenous or targeted injections are made under controlled, sterile conditions. Together with holistic lifestyle management, including exercise regimens and diet, stem cell therapy drives improvement of bone strength that can be sustained. All patients who attend stem cell therapy at Cell Cure India receive all professional VIP facilities and can access support staff 24/7 for medical care, for which a minimum of a three-day hospital stay is required for monitoring and recovery
FAQs
1. What is osteoporosis, and why is it serious?
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and easy to fracture, especially bones in the spine, hip, and wrist.Fractures from osteoporosis limit mobility and independence, which can impact quality of life if not treated.
2. How does stem cell therapy help osteoporosis?
Stem cell therapy can use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to regenerate bone tissue that has been damaged, restore bone mineral density, and strengthen weak bone to help reduce fracture risk moving and going forward.
3. Who is at risk for osteoporosis?
Women at the age of 60 or older are at the greatest risk. Gender disparities usually arise post-menopause; however, osteoporosis affects men as well. Some other risk factors to consider included family history, smoking history, previous alcohol abuse, and hormonal deficits (thyroid disorders and vitamin D deficiency).
