What type of therapy is recommended for healthy symptomatic women who are within 10 years of menopause and under 60 with no contraindications?

RANKL Inhibitor
Estrogen/Progestin therapy
Bisphosphonates
Calcitonin

The correct answer is: Estrogen/Progestin therapy

Estrogen/Progestin therapy is recommended for healthy symptomatic women who are within 10 years of menopause and under 60 with no contraindications because it helps alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. This therapy can also help prevent osteoporosis in this population. The other options are not the first-line therapy for menopausal symptoms in this specific group of patients: A. RANKL Inhibitor is primarily used for osteoporosis treatment in postmenopausal women with a high fracture risk. C. Bisphosphonates are commonly used for osteoporosis treatment but are not the first choice for healthy symptomatic women who are within 10 years of menopause and under 60 with no contraindications. D. Calcitonin is generally no longer recommended as a first-line therapy for osteoporosis due to its limited efficacy compared to other treatment options.
