Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become fragile, hence increasing one s susceptibility to fracture. The term means porous bone. When closely monitored under a microscope, a healthy bone looks like a honeycomb but at the time of osteoporosis, the holes and spaces are a lot larger than what they are in healthy bones. Bones tend to lose density and contain abnormal tissue structure. Due to these reasons, bones become weak and hence are more likely to break.
