Patient's question:
It is my family member, who is said to have had symptoms of osteoporosis recently. She is experiencing discomfort all over her body because she has gone through menopause. What are the symptoms of osteoporosis associated with menopause?Doctor's answer:
During menopause, women may experience osteoporosis again due to hormonal changes in their bodies, which is relatively normal. For patients with osteoporosis, the most noticeable symptom is a certain level of pain, as bones become particularly fragile. In severe cases, skeletal deformities may reappear. Therefore, women should consume more calcium-rich foods during menopause or digest adequate amounts of calcium to strengthen bone density.
