A member asked:
Is zoladex safe for me to be on for 3 months for severe endometriosis (prior to surgery of endo removal) even though i have osteoporosis and im on steroids? my gynae said its fine but i am concerned about further bone loss. im aged 32?

Your concern is understandable considering your history of osteoporosis. Zolodex will suppress the production of your sex hormones. Injectable prolia which is given every six months is a consideration and maybe one injection would be worthwhile. Be sure to take 1000 mgs of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily. An endocrinologist could advise you on this matter.
