Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Osteoporosis is a prevalent chronic disease, especially in postmenopausal women and older adults. Internal medicine specialists assess the bone density, determine risk factors, and apply fracture prevention measures.

Therapies consist of calcium and vitamin D supplements, bisphosphonates, and lifestyle factors like weight-bearing exercise. Internists also keep track of patients for complications and modify therapy accordingly.

Patient education is a priority, focusing on prevention of falls, diet, and compliance with treatment. Proactive monitoring along with personalized care minimizes fractures and promotes long-term bone health through internal medicine.
