Symptom of Menopause - Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is the fracturing of bones with a decrease in bone density. Estrogen is vital in protecting women's bones. When menopause occurs, estrogen levels drop and the long term result is decrease in bone density.



Treatments: There are currently no treatments for osteoporosis, however preventative measures can be taken even before menopause or perimenopause begins. Take care to get plenty of necessary nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and sillica. Exercise regularly, paying special attention to strength training exercises, and quit harmful lifestyle habits such as smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol. If you are already menopausal, it's still not too late. There are medications are available to slow down bone loss and increase strength. Also, women who are on replacement hormone therapy will derive protection from the estrogen they're receiving.
