Verified step by step guidance

Understand the condition: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones, increasing the risk of fractures. It is often related to hormonal changes, especially in postmenopausal women.

Identify the role of hormones: Estrogen is a hormone that helps maintain bone density. After menopause, estrogen levels drop, which can lead to osteoporosis.

Consider the treatment options: Hormone therapy for osteoporosis often involves estrogen replacement to help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.

Evaluate the options: Among the given options, calcitonin, thyroid hormone, growth hormone, and parathyroid hormone, none directly address the estrogen deficiency that contributes to osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Conclude with the correct hormone: Estrogen is the hormone typically prescribed to help manage osteoporosis in postmenopausal women by compensating for the natural decline in estrogen levels.
