Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Vitamin D deficiency: When a person cannot get enough Vitamin D through food and exposure to sunlight, it leads to vitamin D deficiency. It often leads to thin, brittle or misshapen bones.
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). Due to a lack of estrogen, the bone starts becoming weaker due to bone loss.
