Primary Osteoporosis

Primary osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and fragile due to natural aging or hormonal changes, particularly after menopause in women. As we age, our bodies gradually lose bone density faster than they can replace it, leading to an increased risk of fractures. This type of osteoporosis occurs without any other underlying medical causes or conditions. Factors like genetics, lifestyle, and diet can influence its development. Maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can help reduce the risk of primary osteoporosis and its complications.
