Osteoporosis & Bone Health in Hyderabad

What is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become brittle, porous, and weak, increasing the risk of fractures—even with minor falls or simple movements.

Common fracture sites include:

  • Hips
  • Spine (vertebrae)
  • Wrists
  • Shoulders

Osteoporosis often develops without symptoms, earning it the name "the silent bone thief." Early detection and treatment are key to preventing disability and life-threatening complications.

Who is at Risk of Osteoporosis?

You may be at risk if you:

  • Are above 50 years, especially postmenopausal women
  • Have a family history of osteoporosis or fractures
