Jagran correspondent, Bulandshahr. There was less sunlight during the cold season and as a precaution, elderly people came out of the house less. Due to this, there is deficiency of Vitamin D in the body of elderly people. As a result, elderly people are suffering from bone pain. Elderly people are reaching Kalyan Singh Government Medical College complaining of pain in bones. Along with medicine, doctors are also advising to sit in the sun.
Dr. Gaurav Dev Sharma, Associate Professor, Department of Orthopedics, Kalyan Singh Government Medical College, said that people already suffering from any disease and elderly people rarely leave the house due to the fear of falling ill in winter.
Due to lack of sunlight the body has become deficient in Vitamin D. A large number of patients are reaching the hospital complaining of bone pain, body aches and constant fatigue. Investigation is revealing that the biggest reason for these problems is the deficiency of Vitamin D in the body.
Every day 90 to 10 patients with bone related problems are coming to the OPD of the Medical College for treatment. Among these, there are more than 50 patients who complain of severe pain in joints, back and muscles.
Dr. Rajat, Senior Resident of the Medicine Department, said that due to lack of sunlight, bones start becoming weak. Problems like pain, fatigue, dizziness and difficulty in breathing increase. Due to deficiency of Vitamin D, the immunity also becomes weak, due to which cold, cough and infections start occurring again and again. In some cases, wounds are taking longer to heal after injury or surgery.
Take supplements and injections as per doctor's advice
To overcome vitamin D deficiency, doctors usually prescribe cholecalciferal (vitamin D-3) supplements (capsules, tablets, drops or injections), which help in the absorption of calcium in the body and strengthen bones.
Doctors also prescribe magnesium supplements depending on the severity of the deficiency and may recommend higher doses or injections in severe cases, so consult a doctor for the right medicine and dosage.
