Osteoporosis in Women

Osteoporosis are far more common in women than men. Menopause is the most common cause of osteoporosis in women. Preventing bone loss is an important concern in the menopause and during post-menopausal stages. Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones to the point where they break easily—most often, bones in the hip, backbone (spine), and wrist. Osteoporosis is called a “silent disease” because there typically are no symptoms in the early stages of bone loss, until developing fractures or collapsed vertebra results in back pain. Medications are available for effective treatment.  Maintain adequate calcium and vitamin D levels are essential. Healthy and active life style benefits bone health for life time.
