What Is Osteoporosis? How Does It Affect Women & Is It Treatable?

Osteoporosis is the disease of bone where the density of the bone is reduced making our skeletal system weaker significantly increasing the risk of fracture. The bones of the patient with osteoporosis become fragile and porous over time, lose mass, structure and are more likely to break even for minor bumps and falls. Hip, spine, and wrist are the most common sites of fractures caused by Osteoporosis. Though it is a normal condition that gradually occurs in people above age 50, Osteoporosis can also affect the younger generation (kids include).
