Treating Osteoporosis with Oestrogen or Testosterone

Amos Gelbard*

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bone density levels decrease, which leads to fractures and broken bones, usually at an older age. It’s most common in postmenopausal women. Low Oestrogen levels have been hypothesized since the 1940’s, by Fuller Albright and his team, to be the reason for Osteoporosis in women.
