Amenorrhea-related osteoporosis

Amenorrhea-related osteoporosis is a condition where the absence of regular menstrual periods (amenorrhea) leads to weakened bones. This often occurs in women who are underweight, overly exercise, or have high stress levels, disrupting hormone levels that are crucial for bone health. Without adequate estrogen, bones become less dense and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. It's important for those experiencing amenorrhea to seek medical advice, as restoring menstrual cycles through lifestyle changes or treatment can help protect bone health. Regular check-ups and a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D are also essential.
