Globally, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will present an osteoporotic fracture.
From the age of 35, the normal loss of bone mass begins, as more bone is absorbed than is created.
The sharp menopausal drop in estrogen levels makes women particularly vulnerable, while a variety of other factors appear to dynamically affect bone reconstruction processes.
For many decades, osteoporosis was considered a “disease of menopause.” Now, thanks to early prevention, we know that more and more young women are facing the disease, such as in the context of an early menopause or treatment with antiestrogens due to breast cancer.
At AGIOS LUCAS we specialise in the treatment of osteoporosis. Depending on the case, we help patients manage the disease and enjoy an active lifestyle.

Osteoporosis examination is performed in the Clinic. The diagnosis of bone density measurement is made, with the help of measuring the absorption of double-energy X-rays. The diagnosis is completed by measuring biochemical and hormonal parameters of bone metabolism in the blood and/or urine.
Based on the results of the tests, we proceed to the treatment options.
Osteoporosis treatment starts from preventive neutralization of risk factors and appropriate physical exercise and balanced nutrition, to targeted medication.
Today we have a wide variety of drugs that work either by inhibiting bone resorption, reducing the rate of bone loss, or by increasing the formation of new bone.
