Postmenopausal osteoporosis(PMOP)is a common skeletal disorder classified as high-turnover osteoporosis(OP),most prevalent in women 5 to 10 years after menopause.The condition arises from ovarian decline in postmenopausal women,leading to disruptions in estrogen and related hormone levels,which result in reduced bone mass,altered bone microarchitecture,increased bone fragility,and a heightened risk of fractures.In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),kidney deficiency is considered a key fac-tor in the development of this condition.Adequate kidney essence plays a crucial role in nourishing bone marrow and improving bone density.Additionally,the liver's function in regulating the smooth flow of qi,the spleen's role in transportation and transforma-tion,and the lung's regulation of qi circulation are all vital.Other factors,such as heart blood deficiency,insufficient gallbladder qi,and intestinal dysfunction,also influence bone growth and health.
