Patient's question:
A friend of mine recently encountered this issue and stayed in the hospital for a period of time. I visited him, and he said he was a bit in pain and couldn't sleep at night, which greatly affected his condition. Is it true that chicken breast can only be treated surgically?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pigeon chest is generally caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to start with calcium supplementation and treatment. Surgical methods can also be used for treatment. If the symptoms of pigeon chest are not severe, it is advisable not to undergo surgery. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic conditions severely affects the patient's work. In addition to timely treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is important to protect the affected area, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
