If the DEXA scan indicates low bone density, there are several steps you can take to improve your bone health: - Medications: Drugs like bisphosphonates, hormone replacement therapy, and selective estrogen receptor modulators can help increase bone density. - Lifestyle Changes: Incorporate a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, engage in weight-bearing exercises, and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. - Monitoring: Regular follow-up DEXA scans may be recommended to monitor bone density changes and the effectiveness of treatment.
