For patients at risk for osteoporosis or with a diagnosis of osteoporosis, there are many options that a patient can consider with her doctor. In general, recommendations to patients revolve around actions to help to prevent loss of bone or help build new bone. For example, exercise is important for building and maintaining bone strength. Your doctor may advise weight-bearing exercises, such as walking or running, that require your body to work against gravity.
Women should speak with their doctor about the best options for them and their clinical menopause journey.
