I recommend BMD (bone mineral density) testing within two years of menopause – earlier for patients with a family history of osteoporosis, low vitamin D levels or long-term steroid medication use.
Ndicebisa ukwenziwa kovavanyo lweBMD (ubunzima beminerali yamathambo) kwiminyaka emibini kwisigaba sokuyeka ukuya exesheni – lwenziwe kwangoko kwizigulana ezinembali yosapho yesifo sobuthathaka nokuba qoboqobo kwamathambo, ivitamin D encinane okanye ezisebenzise amayeza azisteroyidi ixesha elide.
