Disease/Condition Glossary

Postmenopausal osteoporosis: Postmenopausal osteoporosis occurs in women after menopause when the bones become weaker, more fragile, and likely to break after a fall or strain. Postmenopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men because, at menopause, women's ovaries stop producing oestrogen (a female hormone) that is essential to keep bones healthy. Following menopause, bone loss occurs, weakening bones and making them more likely to break. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, and bones that break much more easily than expected.
