A Message From Dr. Lindsey Rolston
“Postmenopausal osteoporosis is one of the most common, yet often invisible health conditions affecting women. Bone loss happens silently without pain and it is easy to miss. Orthopedic doctors frequently treat broken bones without treating the underlying weak bones, while primary care doctors manage bone health but rarely see the fractures firsthand.
Because of this gap, nearly every woman in her 70s who has not taken hormone replacement therapy has significant bone loss.”

In His Words
“Women lose 35% of their bone 10 years after menopause specifically due to estrogen loss.
The ratio of hip fractures and knee and hip replacement surgery has escalated to 70:30 (Women to Men) since the women’s health initiative study in 2002 recommended against HRT.
OSTEOPENIA occurs then in all ladies not receiving HRT for 10 years or more. More women will die following hip fractures than from breast cancer annually.”
