    ? There are treatments for osteoporosis. They’re called bisphosphonates. And bone density screenings are routine in older women. Am I missing something?

      the existence of treatments doesn’t mean they are readily available to people who need them.

        But that’s because your healthcare system doesn’t really exist, and that’s true for just about everything

        Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Many male doctors are sexist as hell. So unless you know there are treatments and bring it up and/or force the issue, the doctor isn’t going to tell you.
