A member asked:
What exactly will happen to bones when suffering from osteoporosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fractures may occur.: Osteoporosis produces no symptoms until fractures occur. This often occurs because of trauma, particularly hip fractures caused by falling. Vertebrae can collapse without trauma in people with severe osteoporosis. Numerous medicines are available for the prevention of bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures.
