Patient's question:
My boyfriend's mother got polio when she was in her teens, which caused her hunchback. I want to ask if our children will have a hunchback after we get married and have children, or if it is.Doctor's answer:
Hello, curvature of the spine can be corrected through surgery. When considering this condition, it is best to actively apply conservative treatment with medication, wear a corrective brace, and use a corrective back support. If the results are not satisfactory, then surgical treatment can be considered. However, it is necessary to complete comprehensive examinations, including full-length X-rays of the spine, measurement of the kyphosis angle, and pulmonary function tests, among others.
