Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a bone disease, which is characterized by loss of bone mass density. Osteoporosis is also referred to as "porous bones" because it makes bones so thin that it is compressible like a sponge rather than thick like a brick. Osteoporosis causes bones to become so weak, fragile and brittle that they can break easily resulting into fractures.

Osteoporosis often progresses without any early symptoms. Many people don’t even know that they have osteoporosis until they have a fracture. Bone density test is one method to determine osteoporosis. There are many causes that can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis. But along with the causes, there are some osteoporosis prevention techniques and treatments, which help to fight against osteoporosis. Raloxifene (Evista) is one of the medications used for osteoporosis treatment.
