Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis refers to the disease affecting the bone. Due to the condition, bones become porous. So, it looks like a honeycomb under the microscope. The disease causes large holes and spaces to develop in the bone compared to a healthy-looking bone. This can make the bones weak and make the affected person feel susceptible to breaking the bones from a fall. In severe cases, bones can break with simple actions like minor bumps or sneezing. It is because bones lose the mass or density and result in abnormal tissue structure. With low bone density, the risk of bones breaking increases. People above 50 years need to undergo a bone density test if they suffer from a broken bone in any part of their body. A positive bone density means you suffer from osteoporosis.
