Postoophorectomy osteoporosis - what does this mean

Postoophorectomy osteoporosis is a condition that can occur after a woman has had her ovaries removed (oophorectomy), either as a part of a hysterectomy or as a separate procedure. it is caused by a rapid decrease in the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which normally help keep bones strong and healthy. as a result, the bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures.

What happens during the disease - postoophorectomy osteoporosis

Postoophorectomy osteoporosis is a condition caused by the loss of oestrogen production due to the surgical removal of the ovaries. this loss of oestrogen causes a decrease in bone formation, leading to an increased risk of bone fractures and decreased bone density. this can lead to a decrease in bone strength and an increased risk of fractures, as well as a decrease in the body’s ability to absorb calcium, leading to further bone weakening.
