Osteoporosis: It is a medical condition that causes thinning and weakening of the bones. The chance of developing osteoporosis increases with age, after menopause or by taking corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone) for a long period. If proper treatment is not provided then it can even result in broken bones. In starting days, osteoporosis does not show any symptoms.  However, if proper treatment is not provided then it can even lead to broken bones. In Osteoporosis, bones can break at any time even during daily activities like lifting or even from minor activities. Fractures usually occur at the hip, spine or wrist which can even lead to stooped posture (‘dowager’s hump’) and loss of movement.
