Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoporosis: It is a medical condition that causes thinning and weakening of the bones. It usually happens in women after menopause. When a woman reaches her menopause stage, her ovaries stop making estrogen, a female hormone responsible for keeping a woman’s skeleton healthy. Due to a lack of estrogen, the bone starts becoming weaker due to bone loss. The earlier a woman reaches the menopause stage, the greater the chances of osteoporosis. In starting days, osteoporosis does not show any symptoms.  However, if proper treatment is not provided, then it can even lead to broken bones. Initially, the bones don't hurt, and breaks in the spine's bones may go unseen until they cause height loss.  In Osteoporosis, bones can break even during daily activities like lifting or even from minor activities. Bones usually occur at the hip, spine, or wrist which can even lead to stooped posture (‘dowager’s hump’) and loss of movement.
