M85: Other disorders of bone density and structure

The category "Other disorders of bone density and structure," includes conditions relating to abnormalities in the density and structure of bones. These irregularities can happen due to various reasons including hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, abnormalities in bone remodeling, certain medications, or as part of the aging process. Common symptoms across these conditions can include pain, fractures, skeletal deformities, and decreased mobility. As these conditions often develop slowly, it is not unusual for an individual to experience few or no initial symptoms. However, over time, these abnormalities can lead to conditions like osteoporosis, where bones weaken and become more susceptible to fractures. In other cases, structural problems can lead to bone deformities. This disease category doesn't include a specific transmission method as most of these conditions are not contagious, rather they develop as a product of various internal and external factors affecting an individual's bone health.
