Patient's question:
Your boyfriend's mother developed a hunchback in her early teens due to polio. I want to ask if our children will have a hunchback after we get married, will they?Doctor's answer:
Hello, kyphosis 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 posture-correcting belt. If the effect is 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 kyphotic angle, and pulmonary function tests, among others.
