Also called: Broken bone. A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones.
Milk Thistle Side Effects. Milk thistle is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with very few cases of side effects ever reported. The most common side effects arenât serious and include gastrointestinal upset, such as a mild laxative effect.
Avoid use of above-ground parts of the milk thistle plant in women with hormone-sensitive conditions, including breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. Avoid in people with known allergy or sensitivity to milk thistle, its parts, or to members of its plant family.
