Hormone Replacement Therapy to Treat and Prevent Osteoporosis

According to the statistics of NFO (National Osteoporosis Foundation), about 12million Americans suffer from the osteoporosis. This is a disease that makes bones weak and vulnerable to fractures, especially among women. This disease usually occurs in women after the menopause in which the bones become very porous, break easily, and heal slowly.

Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones frail due to the loss of normal bone density. Normally, the bones consist of protein and calcium that gives energy and power to our bones. In osteoporosis, the bones lack this strength and may break or get fractured with even the slightest injury. The hips, spine, and wrists are the main areas of bone fractures from osteoporosis.

Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT is an effective treatment to control osteoporosis. The combination of estrogen and progestin is commonly termed as HRT. This therapy can be done in two ways. First is through the use of estrogen only. Estrogen intake may bring a woman’s estrogen levels back to premenopausal point and also delay the bone thinning, making them strong as ever. But alone the estrogen might cause the risk of uterus cancer. Therefore, this hormone therapy method is applicable and beneficial for women having removed their uterus. The second method is by the combination of both estrogen and progestin that defy the negative effects of estrogen on the uterus. Progestin basically stops endometrial cancer from developing in a woman’s uterus.

Hormone Replacement Therpay improves bone density, particularly of the arm, hip, spine and greatly lowers the risk of fractures. However once the medication is stopped, so will the effects of the treatment vanish. HRT or hormone therapy for osteoporosis has to be consistent if it is to be successful.

HRT is now safely recommended by the physicians to prevent osteoporosis in women over 50 years of age.
