What are the dangers of congenital scoliosis?

Congenital scoliosis is relatively common in clinical practice. It is a congenital vertebral abnormality, also known as body shape abnormality. Congenital scoliosis has a great impact on the human body and may also cause psychological harm. There are many dangers of congenital scoliosis, such as life.

1. Generally speaking, scoliosis will cause considerable harm to the patient's life, so when these diseases occur, they must be treated in time. If not treated in time, the consequences will be very serious. In the late stage, it may even lead to paralysis and even threaten life.

2. Scoliosis can cause deformity. If the deformity is allowed to develop, it will eventually lead to severe scoliosis, which will directly lead to severe deformity of the trunk, uneven shoulders, and a "razor back" with a bulging back, which greatly affects the appearance. In addition, one side of the chest will collapse, and the other side will bulge, with a tilted pelvis and lameness.

3. Because of the deformed appearance, others will feel that they are special, so the patient's mental health will be greatly affected. They are often unwilling to interact with others, so their personality will become withdrawn and inferior. Severe scoliosis can also cause the patient's cardiopulmonary function to weaken, causing the patient to become seriously disabled, which has a great impact.

4. Affects cardiopulmonary health. Many people believe that bone problems will not affect the internal organs. In fact, scoliosis will also affect cardiopulmonary health! Because scoliosis mostly occurs in the thoracic and lumbar regions, it may compress the lungs and cause lung dysfunction. As the scoliosis worsens, it may also affect circulation and cause heart dysfunction. Palpitations and shortness of breath will occur with a little more activity.
