Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones, making them more prone to fractures. There are three main types of osteoporosis:
Primary Osteoporosis: The most common type, it includes:
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: Occurs in women after menopause due to reduced estrogen levels, which affect bone density.
Age-related Osteoporosis: Affects both men and women as part of the natural aging process, where bone breakdown surpasses bone formation.
Secondary Osteoporosis: Caused by underlying medical conditions or medications, such as hormonal imbalances, chronic illnesses, or prolonged use of corticosteroids.
Juvenile Osteoporosis: A rare type affecting children and adolescents, usually linked to genetic factors or underlying health issues.
Treatment often includes lifestyle changes, medications, and specialized therapies. For severe cases, an injection for osteoporosis may be prescribed to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risks. Early diagnosis and management are key to preventing complications.
