In life, many people are unfortunately suffering from diseases such as thyroid and hematopoietic system for some reasons, so they have to take hormone drugs for a long time to control them. Experts said that hormone drugs are very harmful to human health, not only to organs such as liver and kidney, but also to the occurrence of femoral head necrosis, so everyone should pay attention to it.
Extended data:
Hormone drugs have anti-inflammatory and anti-shock effects, and are used to treat many diseases in clinic, sometimes for a long time. In order to reduce the influence on bones, it is suggested that people who use hormones should pay attention to calcium supplementation.
Unless otherwise specified, hormonal drugs are usually short for "adrenal glucocorticoids", such as dexamethasone, prednisone and methylprednisolone. Glucocorticoid is mainly used to treat autoimmune diseases such as bronchial asthma, allergic diseases and rheumatoid arthritis.
Glucocorticoid can promote the excretion of calcium, potassium and phosphorus in the body. If used in large doses for a long time, these components will be gradually lost in the body, which may induce osteoporosis and lead to fractures in severe cases.
The main components of oral contraceptives are progesterone and estrogen, both of which will affect bone formation and bone strength in the body, and may also lead to osteoporosis if taken for a long time.
Thyroid hormone is mainly used to treat thyroid diseases, and it is an important hormone to maintain calcium balance and regulate bone turnover rate. Excessive or insufficient intake in the body can easily lead to osteoporosis.
Therefore, when taking hormone drugs for a long time, it is recommended to supplement calcium under the guidance of a doctor and combine medicine with food. Milk, shrimp skin, kelp, tofu and other foods are rich in calcium, so you can eat more appropriately. At the same time, drink less tea, try not to smoke, and drink less alcohol and carbonated drinks. Doing more exercise and sunbathing can promote the absorption of calcium. If necessary, take calcium orally according to the doctor's advice.
