Are Men and Women Equal When It Comes To Weak Bones?

Weak bone condition, known as osteoporosis, is not only women’s problem. About one third of osteoporosis patients are men.

Some solutions include calcium supplements, vitamin D, and hormone replacement including testosterone and/or estrogen. Biphosphanates may be not a good choice because some of them can cause esophageal inflammation and jaw necrosis.
