Abstract

Letter to the editor on research article entitled “Development of Secondary Osteoporosis in Teenage Girls with Menstrual Disorders” by Popova-Petrosyan E.V, Shanmugaraj Kulanthaivel and Keerthanaa Balasundaram, which was published in CWHR. Nowadays, we have more research and review papers available on osteoporosis in post-menopausal women; however, we still lack in researches for osteoporosis in teenage girls in our current literature. The authors conducted research work in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. This research paper has significant and appreciable scope in the field of pediatrics and pediatric gynecology as well. It is really interesting and exciting because there is no research paper published on osteoporosis in teenage girls due to menstrual disorders, such as oligomenorrhea, secondary amenorrhea, and polymenorrhea. As osteoporosis is one of the emerging medical and socioeconomic threats we need more researches similar to this in order to improve women health in the future. Hereby, we would like to appreciate the work of authors on their significant and interesting research paper. Further, we are eagerly expecting more researches like this from “Current Women`s Health Reviews”.

Keywords: Osteoporosis, adolescent health, menstrual disorders, pediatrics, pediatric gynecology, oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea.
