Can Behçet’s disease cause osteoporosis?

Patients with Behçet’s disease may also develop musculoskeletal involvement, including joint and bone damage, as well as osteoporosis. Additionally, they commonly experience fatigue and lethargy, and neurological complications may occur. Management typically includes calcium supplementation along with vitamin D. Corticosteroids may be used as indicated; antiviral therapy with acyclovir and colchicine may also be considered depending on clinical presentation. All medications should be taken strictly as prescribed by the physician. Given your possible concurrent gastrointestinal dysfunction, Xiangsha Yangwei Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine formulation for strengthening the spleen and stomach) may be added to support digestive health.
