Oestrogen plays a vital role in maintaining bone density by helping bone-building cells (osteoblasts) stay active. When oestrogen levels drop during menopause, bone breakdown accelerates, leading to decreased bone density and increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the first 5-7 years after menopause, making this a critical time for bone health intervention. Our London clinic offers specialist assessment and treatment to protect your bones.
Are You at Risk?
Several factors increase the risk of osteoporosis during menopause, including early menopause (before age 45), family history of osteoporosis, low body weight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle, and certain medical conditions or medications. If you are unsure about your risk, our specialists can assess your bone health and recommend appropriate screening and preventive measures. Early intervention is key to maintaining strong bones for life.
How We Protect Your Bones
Our bone health programme includes risk assessment, lifestyle guidance, and medical treatments. HRT is one of the most effective ways to prevent bone loss during menopause, as it replaces the oestrogen that protects bone density. We also provide advice on calcium and vitamin D supplementation, weight-bearing exercise, and nutrition. For women with significant bone loss, we can refer you to specialist bone health services in Greater London for advanced treatment options.
