Patient Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which doctor treats osteoporosis caused by hormone problems?

An endocrinologist can evaluate osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, particularly when thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, gonadal or medicine-related causes are possible.

Who should be evaluated after a fragility fracture?

Adults with a fracture after a low-impact fall or minor injury may benefit from osteoporosis assessment. The timing and tests depend on age, fracture type and other risk factors.
