The Link Between Menopause and Scoliosis
👉🏻Menopause is a time of profound hormonal changes in a woman’s body, marked by a significant decline in oestrogen levels.
Oestrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health by regulating bone remodelling and reducing bone resorption. When oestrogen levels drop, the risk of osteoporosis increases, leading to weakened bones and making the spine more susceptible to degeneration. This, in turn, can lead to Adult De novo Degenerative Scoliosis.
Adult-onset scoliosis, particularly during and after menopause, is a significant yet often overlooked health concern. This is often referred to as Adult De novo Degenerative Scoliosis.
