Menopause alert: How to avoid osteoporosis

When a woman reaches menopause, the level of estrogen production in her ovaries goes down.
Due to the reduced estrogen production, a woman at menopause has high chances of developing bone problems like osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones. Due to the weakening of bones, the chances of unexpected fractures are generally much higher. In simple terms, osteoporosis means “porous bone.” It results in an increased loss of bone mass and strength. Osteoporosis often progresses without any symptoms or pain.
