Surgical menopause

Gr2P2, 44 y.o. woman had total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for severe endometriosis five months ago. She is non-white (from India), had no fractures in past medical history. She has been prescribed Calcium and vit D. Do you think it is justified to do bone densitometry on her now? Do you think it is justified to put her on Fosamax?

Thanks in advance,

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
