What are the dangers of scoliosis in women?

How does scoliosis affect women? Is it dangerous? If we have scoliosis, how should we treat it and what are its main dangers? The most obvious impact is that it affects a girl's image, mood, and future development, and she may also be looked down upon. In order to avoid these, let's take a look at the dangers of scoliosis in women.

1 Many adolescent female patients initially seek medical treatment because scoliosis seriously affects their appearance. In fact, some of its complications are more serious harm to the body. Severe scoliosis may cause lung dysfunction in patients, because severe chest deformity is often accompanied by restrictive ventilation disorders. As the scoliosis worsens, heart dysfunction may also occur. This is why some patients are prone to fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest tightness during sports or labor. In addition, patients may also have symptoms such as numbness of the lower limbs and difficulty urinating and defecating. For adolescent female patients, severe scoliosis can also affect height and secondary sexual characteristics. Patients are prone to breast asymmetry and poor breast development, and menarche is often abnormal. The scoliotic spine may also compress the pelvis, causing it to tilt and deform, affecting fertility.

2 The actual age of onset of scoliosis is earlier than the time of discovery. Because the spine is located deep, scoliosis is not easy to detect early. It is not discovered until the shoulders are not at the same height or the ribs bulge. At this time, the scoliosis angle is already large. Scoliosis has obvious symptoms such as uneven shoulders, protruding ribs, kyphosis of the shoulder blades, tilted pelvis, unequal length of lower limbs, "knife-shaped back" and "razor back". Once any abnormality is found, parents should take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

3 Scoliosis mainly occurs around the time of puberty, and is more common in girls. Scoliosis develops very quickly, and the curvature generally increases by 5-10 degrees within a year. Therefore, the key to correcting scoliosis is to seize the opportunity of treatment. The earlier the treatment, the better the effect. When a child suffers from scoliosis, parents should accompany the child to a regular medical institution for treatment. Only by taking correct, reasonable and timely treatment methods can the harm of adolescent scoliosis be eliminated or reduced to a minimum.
