It seems you mean en endocrinologist, a specialist on hormones (endocrines etc.). He may prescribe oestrogene and Progesterone (from the first to the 20th day of the month in my case), to prevent further loss of bone-density. This treatment is given to women whether they are menopaused or not, to stimulate the hormones that are active against osteoporosis. I'm talking from my own experience. Whether it is effective, I am a bad example, for my bones are losing density in spite of hormonal treatment, because of other reasons (a systemic disease). Good luck with your treatment. It is really worth it, if it works normally, because women's bones become incredibly fragile after menopause, so its always better to prevent the effect.
