Alcohol and hip joint: Not a good connection, Here’s Why! At least 10 heavy drinkers are diagnosed with avascular necrosis every day! Alcohol is often thought of as a way to relax or celebrate, but did you know that it can harm your bones? A recent study has shown how alcohol consumption impacts bones and how it has increased the risk of avascular necrosis significantly. When it comes to our hip joint, we all know that it is an important joint. It provides structure and support to our bodies, and allows us to move, and perform various activities. But did you know that what we eat and drink can have a big impact on the hip joint?
That’s right – what we consume can either help to keep it healthy and strong, or it can contribute to weakening and degradation. And unfortunately, when it comes to alcohol, the latter is more often the case. While moderate alcohol consumption has been shown to have some positive health benefits, when it comes to bone health, the negatives outweigh the positives. So why is there such a negative connection between alcohol and our hip joint? Well, it all comes down to how alcohol affects the body. For one, alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration. When the body is dehydrated, it doesn’t function as well and this includes the bones. Dehydration causes the bones to lose minerals which weakens them and makes them more susceptible to fractures.
Alcohol consumption has been linked with an increased risk of osteonecrosis also known as avascular necrosis, a condition that causes bone death due to a lack of blood supply. Heavy drinking can also lead to a loss of bone density, which makes the bones more susceptible to fractures. Alcohol is a major risk factor for hip fractures in older adults. What are the symptoms & causes of Avascular Necrosis? When the blood supply to the bone is cut off, a disease known as avascular necrosis (AVN) develops. Apart from alcohol, causes for AVNcould be an injury, prolonged immobilization, or the use of certain medications. When the blood supply is cut off, the bone tissue dies. AVN usually affects the hip, but it can also occur in other bones, such as the shoulder, elbow, and knee. Symptoms of AVN may include pain and tenderness in the affected joint, loss of motion in the affected joint, and/or deformity of the affected bone. The symptoms may come on gradually or suddenly, and they may get worse over time.
Ways to Prevent Bone Loss • You may stop bone loss in several different ways. Certain alterations to one's way of life, such as: • Abandon smoking • Consuming a nutritious diet rich in calcium and vitamin D • Performing regular exercise • Limiting alcohol consumption • These changes might be difficult at the beginning but can yield better health benefits after some time.
Conclusion If you're looking to keep your bones healthy, it's best to avoid alcohol. Alcohol consumption can lead to several problems for your bones and even your heart. If AVN is not treated right away, it might cause the bone to entirely die and cause the joint to collapse. However, AVN can be treated using Ossgrow® Bone Cell Therapy. This cell therapy is offered by one of India's leading biotech businesses,Regrow Biosciences. A patient's body's cells are collected for treatment in a lab during this autologous surgery. They are then injected back into the body after that. Hip joints can be repaired with these cells by turning them into the necessary bodily cells. Preventive measures can help you reduce the risk to a greater extent, but still, the chances persist. So if you face any difficulties with the joint seek immediate consultation.
