Young man, only 29, “legs” hurt so much he could barely walk. Doctor warns about “drinks” that many people know are bad but can’t stop!
Chen, a 29-year-old man from Taiwan, reportedly drank alcohol during social activities. He later became unable to walk due to severe pain in his right leg and difficulty walking. He was diagnosed with hip osteoporosis, also known as avascular necrosis of the right thigh, and underwent surgery due to his obsession with the drink.
Dr. Chen Yu-shu, an orthopedic surgeon at Taoyuan Hospital under the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan, said that ischemic necrosis of the femur is a disease caused by insufficient blood supply to bone tissue, resulting in cell death and bone tissue. The initial symptoms of this disease are usually minor joint pain, so patients often ignore it. Until the disease progresses and the femur is severely damaged, they feel severe pain and difficulty walking.
The femoral head is located at the hip joint and is responsible for supporting the weight of the upper body of the human สมัคร ufabet body due to the very few blood vessels supplying this part. When the blood flow is blocked, the femur is affected and tissue necrosis occurs. There are several causes of avascular necrosis.
For the causes of avascular necrosis, long-term or excessive alcohol consumption, long-term steroid use, hip injuries, blood diseases, metabolic diseases, and even lifestyle habits also increase the risk.
Dr. Chen Yuxu explained that excessive alcohol consumption is an important cause. Long-term drinking will increase blood viscosity and increase the risk of small blood vessel occlusion. Alcohol is toxic to bone cells, further reducing the ability to repair bone tissue, and causing bone necrosis. In addition, alcohol causes fat to clog capillaries, affecting the blood supply to the femur. If this condition lasts for a long time, bone tissue will inevitably die.
