Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling uncomfortable in my mouth and body for a while. I only went to the hospital for a thorough check-up recently, and the result said it's avascular necrosis of the femoral head. We are very puzzled, wondering why it happened suddenly. I want to ask the doctor what is avascular necrosis of the femoral head? What are the causes of it?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of avascular necrosis of the femoral head are three. The first is traumatic injury, for example, if you have surgery after a fracture and the wound doesn't heal properly, it can lead to traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. If you haven't been injured, drinking beer frequently or taking oral hormones can also easily lead to avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Therefore, in clinical diagnosis, these three reasons are the main causes. Except for some other minor reasons, but they are not the main ones.
