Osteoporosis: Causes, Risks, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Osteoporosis is when your bones become weak and easy to break.

It's like the building blocks of your body are losing their strength.

This often happens as people get older, especially after menopause.

You might not know you have it until a bone breaks, like from a small fall.

Things that can cause it include not getting enough calcium or vitamin D. Doctors can check your bones with a special scan.

To help, eat healthy, exercise, and maybe take medicine.

This helps keep your bones strong and prevents breaks.

It's important to take care of your bones to stay healthy!
