Low bone mass

Question

Low bone mass

Asked for Male, 32 Years

Hi doctors, I am an athlete with height 5.6inches and weight 65 kgs. I recently did my BMI and found that my bone mass is at the lower side, which is 2.5kgs. Are there any medication which can increase it a bit. I know it's in Normal range for day to day activities, however I feel that my bones don't support me well for heavy lifting. What can I do to increase it ?
