How ESG procedure is helpful for people with osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis which has affected nearly 22-39 percent of people in India. It’s a chronic disease which breaks the cartilage in joints which results in rubbing of bones together and creating pain and stiffness. It is most commonly seen in old age people as it grows with age. The body parts which are affected most commonly by this disease are knees, hips, feet, hands, and spine. The prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing rapidly due to obesity, sedentary lifestyle, poor posture and family history. The common symptoms that can be seen in a patient suffering from osteoarthritis are-
- Inflammation
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Swelling
- Bone spurs
- Tenderness
Obesity and osteoarthritis-
Body weight plays a major role in occurrence of osteoarthritis. Excess bodyweight increases the load on joints in the body, which ultimately causes the cartilage to break down. Excess weight gives stress to the joints beyond the normal range which they can handle. There is no clarity in how much weight is the excess weight but it is estimated that nearly the force of three times of body weight gets exerted on the joints while walking.
The people who are overweight risk the chances of inviting osteoarthritis to them. According to a survey, women who are obese have 4 times the risk of OA(OsteoArthritis) than non-obese women. In that scenario, it becomes important to address obesity with either Bariatric surgery or ESG. Weight loss is the only way by which chances of OA can be reduced to a great extent.
ESG for weight loss-
The ESG is one of the most effective and preferred procedure for weight loss. If diet and exercise is not working for you, or somehow your body is not showing you the results you expect, go for an ESG procedure.
