Bone Health After Menopause: What Every Woman Should Know. At Sunleaf Women’s Care Hospital, we believe that strong bones are the foundation of a healthy life — especially for women after menopause. As a leading center for gynecology, obstetrics, IVF, and laparoscopic surgery in Surat, we are committed to educating women about how to protect their health and independence through every phase of life. Why Bone Health Matters After menopause, the natural drop in estrogen leads to faster bone loss. This can increase the risk of: Osteopenia and osteoporosis Fractures — especially in the hip, spine, and wrist Silent signs such as back pain, loss of height, or a stooped posture At our maternity hospital in Surat, many postmenopausal women are unaware of their risk until a fracture occurs. Early prevention is key. Risks After Menopause Rapid bone density loss in the first 5–7 years Higher chance of fractures from even minor falls Often no symptoms until a fracture happens How to Protect Your Bones 1. Calcium-Rich Diet Target at least 1, 200 mg of calcium daily through foods like: Milk, curd, paneer Ragi, sesame seeds, almonds 2. Vitamin D Get 20 minutes of morning/late afternoon sunlight daily Take supplements if your Vitamin D3 levels are low (consult your doctor) 3. Weight-Bearing Exercise Brisk walking, yoga, and light strength training Improves bone density and reduces fall risk 4. Avoid Harmful Habits Quit smoking Limit alcohol Reduce excess caffeine and soda 5. Bone Density Test (DEXA Scan) Recommended after age 50 Early detection of osteopenia or osteoporosis 6.
