DES Baby - Diethylstilboestrol

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hendersonville, NC

Do you know if there has been any research to determine if babies of mothers given Diethylstilboestrol (DES Baby) are more likely to develop Osteoporosis? I am the only child, out of 100+ relatives of two generations that has been diagnosed with osteoporosis. I am also the only DES baby in the family. Thanks for looking into this.
I realize that if mom had not been given the drug, I would not have been a miscarriage or another stillborn. Just curious that is all.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I do suffer from upper back and neck pain. Rounded shoulders started years ago.

I would love to know if treatment can reverse any of these symptoms…
