Patient's question:
I am a 58-year-old woman. Recently, my mental state has not been very good, and I haven't been in a good mood either. I feel like I might be sick. Could you please explain what vitamin D deficiency rickets is?Doctor's answer:
Rickets caused by vitamin deficiency is often due to insufficient sunlight exposure, inadequate vitamin intake, improper calcium-phosphorus ratio, or a continuous increase in the required amount of calcium while the body's calcium levels remain low. It is most common in infants and young children under the age of two. It is recommended to revisit the hospital for follow-up treatment. During the day, you can treat the symptoms according to the causes of rickets, such as getting more sunlight and digesting more vitamins. Do not have any psychological stress and maintain a cheerful mood. Additionally, pay attention to getting more rest and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This will be beneficial for both you and the baby in your womb.
