Hello everyone!
I hope you are doing well!
Dealing with menopause can be unexpectedly challenging both physically and mentally. One of the conditions that can be associated with menopause is osteoporosis.
Hormones, notably oestrogen, play a role in the increased risk of osteoporosis in women following menopause. Your bones are shielded by oestrogen. Your oestrogen levels decrease as you approach menopause. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), this drop in oestrogen may occasionally result in bone loss.
Menopausal women are also more likely to develop osteoporosis due to inadequate mineral intake, which supports the body's ability to retain strong bones.

What do you think? Did your menopause cause any medical conditions? What was this transformation period like for you?
Take care,
