Osteoporosis is a Silent Thief

A good thief is silent and is never seen or caught. If the thief that is even better never leaves evidence behind to indicate that he was even there. In other words, you have had something stolen and do not even know it until it is too late. The reason being, you never knew that something was stolen.

Osteoporosis is a silent thief! No one ever sees any evidence and you do not even know it is there stealing your life away. When you finally discover this, the harm may be a reversible. The worst part about this is that it knows no age limit.

If you are near the age of menopause, in menopause or postmenopausal, ask your gynecologist for a DEXA scan. The doctor may use the world’s first and only bone densitometer that doubles as a full exam table. The Lunar DPX Duo is a SmartBeam platform providing high-performance scanning and clinical utility for those who cannot afford to give up an exam room. The Duo provides measurements of the two most vital clinical sites, the spine and femur in minutes and at low radiation doses.

The doctor could also use the Lunar Prodigy Primo that is the latest direct-digital narrow-angle fan-beam densitometer in the globally recognized Lunar Prodigy series from GE Healthcare. From standard AP Spine and DualFemur capabilities to advanced Vertebral Fracture Assessment studies, the doctor can assess your bones health in a fast and seamless computer-driven operation. The enCORE Windows-driven software platform optimizes automation, saving time, yet providing consistent results. These types of medical laboratory testing equipment make a difference in your diagnosis.

Do not let your gynecologist tell you, “You’re too young; you needn’t worry about this.” Nevertheless, informing him that the risk factors in health magazine articles were consistent and that you want the test. Take charge of your own health!

You can prevent and reverse your skeletal life structure from collapsing when you begin to take charge of your own health and when you begin early in adulthood, around 30. Fear and anger do not have to make an unexpected visit. If it is not too late for you, bone-up on the facts while there is still time.
