When there is a lack of vitamin D in the body, the process of absorption of calcium and phosphorus is disrupted, which in turn leads to serious health problems.
At the very least, you will have to deal with weakness and cramps, but ultimately the problems will affect your bone health.
Endocrinologist Daria Pronina told Gazeta.ru how to understand that the body has a deficiency of the sun vitamin.
Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency
The first symptoms that the expert names are weakness, painful sensations in the bones, and cramps.
Patients also experience frequent urination and increased sweating.
All this indicates a disturbance in phosphorus-calcium metabolism, the cause of which is a deficiency of the sun vitamin.
Consequences
1. Adults may experience a process of bone softening, disruption of bone formation and its mineralization.
Up to 10-25% of elderly people face this complication.
2. Frequent urination may be associated with overactive bladder, which is an involuntary contraction of the bladder muscle.
3. You also need to remember the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases - hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart rhythm disturbances.
What to do
At the first suspicion, you should consult a doctor and take the necessary blood and urine tests.
If necessary, X-rays and other procedures will be prescribed to assess the condition of the bone tissue.
Only after this can a diagnosis be made and proper treatment prescribed.
