Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Even if you are nor having any symptoms of menopause, starting with hormone replacement therapy will reduce the chances of osteoporosis in your case. You can opt for HRT after consulting your gynecologist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
