Evening Bone Density Scan Appointments to Screen for Osteoporosis and Osteopenia Now Available at Women's Excellence of Southeast, Michigan

DETROIT, Aug. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- One of the most important processes that occur in menopausal women is the loss of bone density. A woman's bone changes when the effects of hormonal loss are realized and a condition called osteopenia or osteoporosis can occur. Women's Excellence now offers evening bone density scan appointments to help protect women against bone less and reduce their risk of fractures.

A bone density scan is an enhanced form of x-ray technology used to measure bone loss and diagnosis Osteopenia and Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition of low bone mass, where bones become thin, brittle and weak. Osteopenia is a condition of low bone mass and usually precedes the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Dr. Jonathan Zaidan, President of Women's Excellence, implemented evening bone density scan appointments to be more convenient for women. "We know how tough it is for a busy woman or mom to take care of her health needs first. Between her family, her job, and other priorities, it can be hard to come to the doctor's office during the day," says Zaidan. "Our new evening bone density scan appointments allow women to get the care they need at a time that is convenient for them, and that is what we are all about at Women's Excellence!"

Women's Excellence recommends that women ages 65 and older get routine bone density scans every 2 years. However, it is also important for women in the initial stages of menopause to get regular bone density scans because a significant amount of bone density is lost within the first 5 years of menopause. Other risk factors for bone loss include low body weight, smoking, low calcium intake, vitamin d insufficiency, high caffeine intake, and a family or personal history of fractures. Your doctor will have a better understanding of your health history to determine if a bone density scan is right for you prior to the age of 65.
