Osteoporosis is a medical condition where the bones become weak and breakable, making them more likely to fracture or break. It typically occurs when the body loses too much bone tissue or does not make enough new bone tissue. This can happen due to factors like aging, hormonal changes, lack of calcium or vitamin D, and certain medications or medical conditions. Osteoporosis often progresses silently without symptoms until a fracture occurs. Common areas for fractures include the hip, spine, and wrist. Treatment usually involves a combination of medications, dietary changes, and weight-bearing exercises to strengthen bones and prevent further bone loss.
