Osteoporosis

Meaning

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mineral density and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and a heightened risk of fracture. This silent disease is a major clinical concern, particularly in postmenopausal women due to the precipitous decline in protective estrogen levels, which significantly compromises bone remodeling. Management strategies in hormonal health focus on addressing the underlying endocrine imbalances and ensuring adequate structural support for the skeleton.
