Treatment

Currently it is estimated
that over 200 million
people worldwide suffer
from this disease1.
Approximately 30% of all
postmenopausal women
have osteoporosis in the
United States and in
Europe.

There is no single
cause of
osteoporosis but
there are many risk
factors. These
include:

There are usually

no symptoms of
osteoporosis until
a bone breaks. For
this reason it is
often referred to
as a "silent
disease".

Unfortunately,
many people do not
know they have
osteoporosis until
they experience
a broken bone.

Treatment most
commonly involves
lifestyle changes and
medications and aims to
maximise bone density
and reduce the risk of
bone fracture.

Among the 30,074

respondents (statistically
weighted population of
127 million) who had
worked anytime during the
previous 12 months, 0.46%
(95% CI: 0.36, 0.56)
reported that they
experienced a "prolonged"
hand discomfort which
was called tendinitis

The condition is
commonly caused
by repetition of a
particular
movement over
time. It can also be
caused by a sudden
injury.

Pain - if the
affected area is
moved the pain
worsens
A feeling that the
tendon is crackling
or grating as it
moves. This
sensation is more
common on
examination.

Hypoglycemia
occurs from a
relative excess of
insulin in the blood
and results in low
blood glucose
levels.

In 2013, according to
International Diabetes
Federation, an estimated
381 million people had

It is estimated that there

~3% of the population.

area.

Treatment

Patients should avoid

simple sugars, increase
the frequency of their
meals, and reduce the
size of their meals.
Patients may require 6
small meals and 2-3
snacks per day.

Treatment involves
lifestyle changes,
medicines, and regular
doctor visits. In some
cases, you may need
surgery for treatment of
complications from
cirrhosis.

Urethritis is a common
condition, accounting for
several million clinic visits
annually in the US. Nongonococcal urethritis
(NGU) from chlamydia is
four times as common as
gonococcal urethritis
(GU).

Most episodes of
