Hi ladies
I've read quite a bit on different threads that we are recommended to take hrt for the prevention of osteoporosis.
As I do not take hrt, I decided to have a bone scan, to see the condition of my bones, as I am post menopausal.
Results will take a week or two, but I'll keep posted.
I received a form about osteoporosis. It states to treat and to prevent:
A healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk:
Balanced diet, regular calcium inc in diet, vit d from sunlight, stop smoking, reduce alcohol, exercise to increase bone strength.
Treatment inc calcium and vit d supplements with proven benefits to those over 65.
The main treatment is bisphosphonate, which is available daily, weekly, monthly or a once year infusion.
Parathyroid hormone treatment might be considered and involves daily injections.
Just a bit of info.. x
