About 8 million women in the U.S. are living with osteoporosis, and half of all women over 50 with the disease will break a bone because of it. Being diagnosed with osteoporosis can be overwhelming, but it’s important to be informed about the disease. The first step? Talking to your clinician.
Shared decision-making between you and your clinician can help you take steps to reduce the risk for fracture and find treatment options that may help reduce bone loss.
It might be helpful for you to use these questions as a starting point to discuss treatment options — and their benefits, risks and costs — with your clinician to see which options are best for you.
