Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones that become fragile and more susceptible to fractures.

It occurs when the body loses too much bone mass, does not produce enough bone, or both. This results in a decrease in bone density and strength, making even minor falls or bumps potentially dangerous.

Depending on the T-score from the DEXA scan, various treatment options are provided for the patients. A balanced diet and exercise for osteoporosis management are a must.
