Postmenopausal Osteoporosis treatment in Atlixco

With the hormonal changes of menopause, bones can lose density at an accelerated rate; this is called menopausal osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones more fragile and prone to fractures.

Why does it happen? The decrease in estrogen associated with the menopausal stage affects the balance of the bone, favoring its progressive weakening.

Signs and risks: it usually progresses without obvious discomfort until a fracture occurs from a mild blow or, over time, loss of height or changes in posture.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist supports this stage and evaluates a woman's bone health, coordinating tests and follow-up. If you are going through menopause, discussing your bone health with your doctor is a timely way to take care of yourself.
