This thesis explores the link between postmenopausal osteoporosis and hormonal changes, highlighting estrogen deficiency as the main cause of accelerated bone loss. Reduced estrogen increases osteoclast activity and decreases osteoblast function, leading to lower bone mineral density. Postmenopausal women may lose 2-3% of bone mass annually in the first five years after menopause. The study reviews hormonal mechanisms, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for managing postmenopausal osteoporosis.
