Fragile Bones
People with hyperparathyroidism are often prone to osteoporosis. This condition is typically characterized by fragile bones which would fracture easily under impact. The main cause comes from abnormal levels of calcium in the body. This eventually reduces your bone density and weaken the overall structure. Also, an overactive parathyroid gland will produce too much hormone. This causes most of the calcium to leave your bones and go to the blood. The symptom would be significantly amplified in post-menopausal women and older people. [7]
