10 Treatments for Menopause

5. Osteoporosis Medication

Tests have discovered that there is a direct correlation between menopause and developing osteoporosis, especially postmenopausal women. It is stated that the average woman may lose up to 10% of bone mass within the first five years of menopause. This is because estrogen is very important for bone strength and the estrogen levels are severely decreased in menopause. A healthy diet and exercise will improve the effects of both menopause and osteoporosis. There are of course medications that can be taken to benefit both conditions, and you'll need to consult with your health care professional before taking them
