Osteoporosis Treatment
in Lahore | Dr. Rizwan Niazi

What Is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones gradually lose density and strength, becoming fragile and far more likely to break. It often develops silently over many years, with no symptoms until a fracture occurs, most commonly in the hip, spine or wrist.

Because bone health is controlled by hormones and minerals, an endocrinologist looks beyond the bones themselves. Dr. Rizwan Niazi assesses the underlying drivers, including oestrogen decline after menopause, vitamin D and calcium status, and thyroid or parathyroid problems, so treatment addresses the real cause.

Fragile, Brittle Bones

Bones lose density and strength, breaking far more easily than normal, sometimes from a minor bump.

Fractures From Minor Falls

Low-impact fractures of the hip, wrist or spine are often the very first sign of osteoporosis.

Loss of Height

Gradually getting shorter over the years can signal small compression fractures in the spine.

Stooped Posture

A curved or hunched upper back (kyphosis) develops as weakened vertebrae compress.

Persistent Back Pain

Sudden or ongoing back pain may be caused by a collapsed or fractured vertebra.

Often No Early Warning

Many people feel nothing until a bone breaks, which is why screening with a DEXA scan matters.

Menopause & Ageing

Falling oestrogen after menopause and natural ageing both accelerate bone loss.

Family History

A parent or sibling with osteoporosis or a hip fracture increases your own risk.

Low Vitamin D & Calcium

Poor vitamin D and calcium status weakens new bone formation and repair.

Long-Term Steroids

Prolonged steroid use and some other medicines reduce bone density over time.

Smoking & Alcohol

Smoking and heavy alcohol intake both damage bone and slow healing.

Thyroid & Parathyroid Issues

An overactive thyroid or parathyroid gland can pull calcium out of the bones.

Accurate Diagnosis

DEXA bone density scanning and blood tests identify the cause and severity before any treatment begins.

Targeted Treatment

Bone-protecting medication with vitamin D and calcium optimisation, matched to your scan results.

Lifestyle & Monitoring

Diet, weight-bearing exercise and regular review keep bones strong and treatment on track.

Why See an Endocrinologist for Osteoporosis?

General advice often stops at calcium tablets. As an endocrinologist, Dr. Rizwan Niazi diagnoses and treats the hormonal and metabolic causes of bone loss, giving you a plan that actually protects your bones.
