Symptoms of cervical osteochondrose in women

Symptoms of female osteochondroise can be recognized already in the initial phase, because the discs of the spine of cervix are near each other and have a small height.Cervical osteochondrosis can cause serious consequences - complications and even a fatal outcome.Indeed, arteries pass through the neck that nurture the brain, nerve troops and roots related to the lungs, arms and heart, as well as spinal cord.So don't delay treatment with a good doctor.

Important!Special acute osteochondorosis of cervix are experienced by women who are in menopause.

Features of women's osteochondrose

Osteochondrosis is an injury in the musculoskelo system, which is why intervertebral discs and joints can be destroyed.Due to the characteristics of the body structure, symptoms of cervical osteochondrose in women are clearer than in men.The fact is that the area for men shoulders is expanding, supports the entire spine, helping not overload the neck.

The female cervical spinal department characterizes the high activity and presence of a large number of nerve fibers, which act as carriers between the brains and other bodies.Deformation of intervelebral discs causes quick pressure on the root of fiber nerve endings.Roughly speaking, women have more fragile vertebrae and thin bony tissue.

Important!Pregnancy with a subsequent caring child also aggravates the problem.During pregnancy, the load on the spine increases, and breastfeeding in an uncomfortable position and constant worn baby in their hands becomes the cause of the disease.

There are several phases in the development of osteochondrose of the cervical region:

1. Reducing the position of the spine due to the dehydration of pulposis nucleus (intervertebral disk interior, which, normally, should be filled with half-life and jacket).
2. Muscles and ligaments of Sag, which is the cause of imbalance, ie displacement of vertebrae.
3. Protes intervertebral discs (output from their content) and arthritis.
4. The human body tries to help the spine to return the "sophisticated" vertebrae in place, eliminates support and protective barriers.To do this, osteophytes occur on the vertebral - bone growth.Fiber tissues also grow.As a result, the shark motor segment is in a gentle shell that interferes with activity.

Causes of disease in women

It is believed that the occurrence of cervical osteochondrosis is associated with salts, but that is not the case.It is precise osteochondrosis that is the main cause of salt deposit.Scientists claim that there are many reasons for the occurrence of osteochondrose of the cervical region.Consider the main one:

• Klimax.The fact is that Progesterone enters the body becomes less smaller, and the muscles in the cervical region are also reduced.All this leads to the weakening of the spinal department;
• Weakening immunity, frequent diseases;
• Excess weight;
• Violation of circulation;
• Abnormalities of vertebrate arteries arising against the background of generic injuries, infections and heritage;
• Sadentary work, especially on the computer;
• Flat feet;
• Improper posture;
• Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption;
• Excessive sports;
• Large spine load during pregnancy;
• Irregular and unbalanced diet;
• Bad metabolism, metabolism problems;
• Any door damage;
• Rheumatism or injury;
• Hormonal disorders in the body;
• Hypothermia;
• Heredity.

The excess weight has an additional load on ligaments and joints, also leads to problems with the cardiovascular system.

Than cervical osteochondrose is dangerous

Lack of treatment can lead a woman in a disability.If you do not start the osteochondrose treatment on time, then there is a risk of complications - from the most important to heavy:

1. Permanent pain in the head, dizziness.
2. Regular sudden losses of consciousness.
3. Hearing and vision problems.
4. The circulation of blood in the brain is upset.
5. Frequent increases in blood pressure.
6. In the central nervous system, problems can begin: impair speech, coordination and behavioral disorders.
7. Radiculitis and other diseases.
8. The vessels will be squeezed in the brain.
9. Go to move the vertebrae.
10. Breach of walking due to the stenosis of the spinal cord.
11. Intervertebral hernias and protrusions.
12. Schmorl hernia.

Increasing blood pressure in osteochondrose can be associated with poor blood flow in the artery on the way to the brain.Choking the artery happens because of osteochondrose.

Testing and treatment

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

Diagnostic studies are conducted after that:

• Radiography.Using X-rays with cervix spine, the doctor determines the location of the disease.The image will see the change in the form of a spinal segment, the presence of osteophytes and narrowing of intervertebral discs.
• Computer tomography or magnetic resonance.Today, this is the most efficient ways to detect what and where there are shortcomings in the spinal column.
• Myelography.For testing, the patient is introduced by a contrast liquid in the channel of the spinal cord.The procedure is not sure: the patient may develop an allergy and there is a risk of damage to the spinal cord with the puncture.However, with cervical osteochondrose, such a study rarely executes, unless you need to see the whole spine.

MRI will help to establish the diagnosis correctly and determine the degree of pathology development.

To cure cervical osteochondrose, the doctor prescribes complex treatment.Tasks of therapy are: Removing muscle cramps, pain relief and reducing intra -disconned pressure.Different types of therapy are used at different stages of disease development.
