PREVENTION OSTEOPOROSIS: EXERCISE IS IMPORTANT
Posted under Women's Health by adminOestrogens can help to prevent osteoporosis, and certainly may provide pain relief once osteoporosis has occurred. It is thought that oestrogen does not actually reverse the changes once they occur, although more recent studies indicate it may to some extent do this.
At this stage, oestrogen cannot be recommended for all women postmenopausally, as benefits must be weighed against side effects, but it would certainly be indicated if there were a strong family history or osteoporosis.
Every woman should h.ave daily exercise other than, for example housework, driving car and shopping Have a programme of exercises and do them daily. Jog or play tennis. It will certainly benefit your bones as well as any symptoms, and also your general well-being. Bones become denser with the stress of exercise. Astronauts have been found to have softer bones when examined after landing and patients confined to bed for any length of time exhibit the same effect.
