Osteoporosis quietly weakens your bones, increasing the risk of fractures. Fortunately, you can help prevent bone density loss through Osteoporosis Treatment and regular exercise. If you are over 65 or have a family history of osteoporosis, consider asking your healthcare provider about a bone density test. Most people don’t know they have osteoporosis until it causes them to break a bone. Osteoporosis can make any of your bones more likely to break.
Why consult an Endocrinologist to diagnose and treat Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a serious health problem for many older women after menopause. Common hormonal issues, like diabetes and high thyroid levels (hyperthyroidism), can lead to osteoporosis because they affect the hormones needed for strong bones. When these hormones are low, bone loss speeds up, increasing the risk of fractures.
Once these conditions are identified and treated, bone density often improves. Most postmenopausal women with osteoporosis experience bone loss due to a lack of estrogen. This rapid bone loss happens because there’s an imbalance between how much bone is broken down and how much is formed. An Endocrinologist can help you balance your hormones, which can prevent weak bones.
Hormonal changes—especially in the thyroid or adrenal glands—can accelerate bone loss. Learn more about managingthyroid conditions andhormonal imbalances to reduce your risk of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis Signs and Symptoms
But once your bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you might have signs and symptoms that include:
- Back pain, caused by a broken or collapsed bone in the spine.
- Loss of height over time.
- A stooped posture.
- A bone that breaks much more easily than expected.

FAQs
How do I know if I have osteoporosis?
It’s often silent. A DEXA scan can assess your bone density before fractures occur.
Who is at risk?
Postmenopausal women, older adults, and people with hormonal imbalances or certain medications are at higher risk.
Can osteoporosis be reversed?
It can be managed and slowed significantly with proper treatment, though full reversal is rare.
