Symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis in women

Symptoms of a woman's osteochondrosis can be detected already in the early stages, as the cervical spine discs are close to each other and are small.Cervical osteochondrosis can lead to serious consequences - complications and even fatal consequences.Indeed, the arteries pass through the neck, which nourishes the brain, nerve underwear, and roots that connect the lungs, hands and heart, as well as the spinal cord.Therefore, do not delay treatment with a good doctor.

Important!Especially acute cervical osteochondrosis is affected by women who are in menopaus.

The features of a woman's osteochondrosis

Osteochondrosis is a disorder in the musculoskeletal system that can cause intervertebral discs and joints.Due to the characteristics of the body structure, the symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis in women are more obvious than in men.The fact is that the man's shoulder area is wider, it supports the entire spine, helping to overload the neck.

The spinal department of the female cervix is characterized by high activity and the presence of a large number of nerve fibers that work both between the brain and other organs.Deformation of intervertebral discs causes rapid pressure on the roots of nerve endings.Roughly speaking, women have more fragile vertebrates and a thin bone tissue.

Important!Pregnancy with further care of the baby also exacerbates the problem.During pregnancy, the spine increases and breastfeeding in an uncomfortable state and the constant wearing of the baby is the cause of exacerbation of the disease.

There are several stages in the development of osteochondrosis of the cervical region:

1. Decreased spine position due to dehydration of the pulp nucleus (from the inside of the intervertebral disc, which should usually be filled with a half -life and coat).
2. Muscles and ligaments, which is the cause of an imbalance, or displacement of the spine.
3. Intervertebral discs protests (their content solution) and arthrosis.
4. The human body is trying to help the spine return to the "subtle" spine to the site, eliminating support and protective barriers.For this, osteophytes arise on the vertebrates - bone growth.Growing fiber tissue.As a result, the motor segment of the spine is a kind of shell that prevents activity.

The causes of the disease in women

It is believed that in women the case of cervical osteochondrosis is associated with salts, but this is not the case.This is precisely osteochondrosis, which is the main cause of salt deposits.Scientists argue that there are many grounds for the appearance of osteochondrosis in the cervical region.Consider the Home:

• Klimax.The fact is that progesterone entrance to the body becomes less and less, and in the cervical region the muscles also decrease.All this causes the spinal division to weaken;
• Weakening of immunity, frequent diseases;
• Excess weight;
• Blood circulation disorder;
• Pathologies of the spine artery arising from general injuries, infections and heredity;
• Sedentary work, especially on the computer;
• Flat legs;
• Wrong posture;
• Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption;
• Excessive sport;
• Large load of spine during pregnancy;
• Improper and unbalanced diet;
• Poor metabolism, problems with metabolism;
• Any damage to the neck;
• Rheumatism or injury;
• Hormonal disorders in the body;
• Hypothermia;
• Heritage.

Excess weight has an additional load on the ligament and joints, as well as causing cardiovascular problems.

2. Regular unexpected losses of consciousness.
3. Hearing and vision problems.
4. Blood circulation in the brain is disturbed.
5. Frequent increase in blood pressure.
6. Problems in the central nervous system can begin: speech impairment, coordination and behavioral disorders.
7. Sciatica and other back diseases.
8. The ships are reddened in the brain.
9. To move the spine.
10. Disruption of walking due to spinal cord stenosis.
11. Intervertebral hernia and protrusions.
12. Shmorl's hernia.

Increased blood pressure in osteochondrosis can be associated with poor blood flow to the arteries on the brain.The arteries are pinched due to osteochondrosis.

Examination and treatment

Cervical osteochondrosis has many general symptoms with other diseases, so before treatment, the neuropathologist listens carefully to the patient and collects anamnesis.

Diagnostic studies are then conducted:

• Radiography.Using the cervical spine X -ray, your doctor will determine the location of the disease.In the picture, it will see the change in the form of the spinal segment, the presence of osteophytes, and the narrowing of the intervertebral discs.
• Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Today, these are the most effective ways to find out what and where the defects are located in the spinal column.
• Myelography.For examination, the patient is introduced in the spinal cord canal against fluid.The procedure is not safe: the patient can develop an allergy and there is a risk of spinal cord injury.However, with cervical osteochondrosis, such examination is rarely performed if you do not need to see the whole spine.

MRI will help accurately diagnose the diagnosis and determine the quality of the pathology development.

Orthopedic treatment.The specialist will determine special sleep pads for unloading the spinal column.It is also recommended to enlarge the submarine spinal cord from the action of warm water for muscle relaxation.Traveling involves the use of different devices to increase the intervertebral space.
