Gurdaspur, October 30, 2025: Abrol Hospital (a unit of EMC Hospitals) in Gurdaspur has shared an important health advisory focusing on women’s bone health after menopause. Senior Orthopedic Specialist Dr. Tanveer Ali emphasized the importance of preventing bone loss and osteoporosis among women during this stage of life.
Dr. Ali explained that after menopause, hormonal changes—particularly the drop in estrogen levels—lead to weaker bones, significantly increasing the risk of fractures. This condition develops gradually and, if left unaddressed, can become severe over time.
He further noted that estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining bone strength. Its decline causes calcium deficiency and reduced bone density. Women over the age of 50, he added, are almost four times more likely to develop osteoporosis compared to men.
Dr. Ali highlighted that prevention is possible through early awareness and lifestyle care. A balanced diet, adequate sun exposure, regular exercise, and proper intake of calcium and vitamin D can help maintain strong bones. He also urged women to avoid smoking and alcohol, as these habits weaken bone health.
He recommended that every woman should undergo a bone density test periodically after menopause. Early diagnosis, he stressed, allows timely management of osteoporosis and helps prevent serious fractures.
Dr. Ali also shared that Abrol Hospital, Gurdaspur, is equipped with the latest diagnostic technology for bone health assessment and osteoporosis treatment. Experienced doctors and trained medical staff ensure comprehensive consultation and care for patients.
Encouraging women to prioritize their well-being, Dr. Ali said,
“Strong bones are the true foundation of a strong life. Every woman must understand and care for her body’s needs.”
Abrol Hospital (A Unit of EMC Hospitals), Gurdaspur, remains committed to women’s health and continues to conduct awareness programs within the community. The hospital’s mission is to educate and empower women to take preventive measures against osteoporosis and lead healthier lives.
