Postmenopausal osteoporosis - what does this mean
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become less dense and more likely to fracture due to a decrease in estrogen and other hormones. this decrease in hormones reduces the body's ability to absorb calcium, leading to a decrease in bone density and an increased risk of fractures.
What happens during the disease - postmenopausal osteoporosis
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a condition that occurs when bones become too weak due to a decrease in estrogen levels. this decrease in estrogen levels leads to an imbalance in bone metabolism, resulting in an increased rate of bone resorption and decreased rate of bone formation. this imbalance causes bones to become more brittle and prone to fractures, leading to the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
