Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica Treatment Options

Take Hormone Replacement Therapy

Women who are either about to go through menopause or have already experienced it can benefit from hormonal replacement therapy. The type of hormone therapy recommended for treating osteitis fibrosa cystica is simply the same therapy used in menopausal women. This style of hormone replacement therapy provides supplemental levels of estrogen and other hormones that start to drop as a woman goes into menopause. In addition to helping with hot flashes and other issues, this type of hormone replacement therapy also helps keep calcium in the bones. It does not completely combat the effects of osteitis fibrosa cystica, but it does keep menopause from worsening the bone density loss.
