Patient's question:
What is chicken breast, what are the hazards of chicken breastDoctor's answer:
Hello, pigeon chest is a wedge-shaped protrusion on the chest wall, resembling the breastbone of birds, hence its name. The factors or causes of this deformity include: congenital developmental abnormalities that lead to chest deformities; malnutrition such as rickets in children; and secondary diseases arising from conditions within the thoracic cavity. Mild pigeon chest has little impact on the body, but severe cases can cause varying degrees of compression on the heart and lungs, potentially even leading to heart displacement. Lung ventilation function is also affected. If it progresses further, it can easily lead to serious conditions such as respiratory infections. I hope this helps!
