How to manage osteoporosis after the menopause
چکیده انگلیسی
Many women seek advice about bone health at the time of the menopause. Although fracture probability is low in the majority, treatment may be cost-effective if targeted at those at highest risk. Optimal selection of individuals for intervention is based on a case-finding approach, fracture probability being estimated using a combination of bone mineral density and clinical risk factors. A variety of therapeutic interventions is available for the prevention of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a second-line option in most, although it has a place in the management of perimenopausal women with menopausal symptoms who are at risk from fracture and in other postmenopausal women who express a preference for HRT over other options, after being fully informed about known risks and benefits.
