Osteoporosis, a bone disease characterized by weakening bones, frequently manifests itself without obvious symptoms in its early stages. Individuals may, however, experience the following as time goes on: Osteoporosis raises the risk of fractures, particularly in the spine, hip, and wrist. Back discomfort: Vertebral fractures caused by weaker bones can cause chronic back discomfort, height loss, and a hunched posture (kyphosis). Height decrease: Because osteoporosis affects the vertebrae in the spine, it can result in a gradual decrease of height over time. Bone Pain: Some people may have bone pain, particularly in the hip or groin area, which can indicate a fracture. Fractures and bone degradation can impede a person's mobility and ability to conduct daily tasks.
