Hello,

It is early to suffer from osteoporosis. Check for both d levels and calcium levels. Check for renal problems or renal loss of calcium etc.

In the case of female or male with post menopause may present like osteoporosis. In this condition need to supplement hormones.

Please consult your endocrinologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
