Patient's question:
The recent health check report came out, indicating aseptic necrosis of the right femoral head. Is the aseptic necrosis of the right femoral head serious? Since the follow-up review has not been replied to yet, I have searched a lot of information and found varying opinions. Will this leave behind sequelae in the future? What is the cause of this?Doctor's answer:
Right femoral head avascular necrosis, which is not very serious, is a common disease of the femoral head. It may be caused by congenital anatomical abnormalities of the femoral head or by frequent overexertion, leading to surrounding ischemic necrosis. Generally, acupuncture and physiotherapy can be tried. This condition may recur repeatedly, and it can also lead to many sequelae. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to rest and local cold prevention in daily life.
