Overview
Osteoporosis is a disease of the skeleton. Osteoporosis has many causes and affects men and women of all ages, but is most often diagnosed in postmenopausal women.
Usually, the first noticeable sign of osteoporosis is losing height or having a bone break easily. Changes in the shape of the spine are also an early sign of osteoporosis. Your bones become thinner and more fragile than normal. While estrogen is not the first treatment option for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, in certain cases it can help reduce the chance of developing osteoporosis.
