Osteoarthritis - On causes, symptoms, and treatment of this condition

Osteoarthritis - is a joint disease that results from the destruction of cartilage tissue that covers the ends of bones. Cartilage in the joints functions to reduce friction and absorb shock during movement. However, over time, this tissue can lose its structure and become thin, leading to pain and limited movement.

Causes of osteoarthritis

1. Age. The disease most often develops in people over 50 years old, as the structure of cartilage tissue deteriorates with age.
2. Genetic predisposition. Hereditary factors can play an important role in the development of osteoarthritis.
3. Hormonal influence. Women have a higher risk of developing osteoarthritis, especially after menopause.
4. Injuries and overloads. Joint damage or excessive stress on joints can lead to the development of osteoarthritis.
5. Chronic diseases. Some diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, can cause destruction of the cartilage tissue in the joints.

Osteoarthritis symptoms

• Pain. Joint pain is one of the main symptoms of osteoarthritis. It can be localized or widespread, and the intensity of the pain can vary.
• Persistent discomfort. Persistent discomfort in the joints, especially after prolonged exertion or physical activity.
• Joint involvement syndrome. Chronic stiffness, crepitus, or fluid in the jointsа can also be signs of osteoarthritis.
• Movement restrictions. Reduced range of motion in joints, which can affect the ability to perform daily tasks.

• Medical treatment. The doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, and chondroprotectors to relieve pain and slow down the process of cartilage destruction.
• Injections. Injections of hyaluronic acid or corticosteroids directly into the joints can relieve pain and inflammation.
• Surgical methods. In severe cases, when other methods do not provide relief, surgical intervention, such as arthroscopy or joint replacement, may be recommended.
• Lifestyle change. Changes in diet, weight, physical activity, and avoiding overexertion can help improve symptoms.
• Physical rehabilitation. After surgery or during conservative treatment, physical rehabilitation plays an important role in restoring joint function and increasing mobility.
