Scoliosis Progresses 8 Times More in Girls

The 'Unnatural' Curve The human spine or backbone is formed of multiple vertebrae which protect and support the spinal cord and helps it hold the body upright. In Scoliosis, a condition particularly related to the spine, the individual's spine is not straight but rather curved. In the absence of the spine's gentle curve down the back, it is impossible to walk or balance the body. However in Scoliosis, the spine bends to the side abnormally; either to the right or left. Back pain can eventually develop as the condition progresses. The deformity may cause pressure on your nerves and possibly even on your spinal cord. This can lead to weakness, numbness, and pain in your lower extremities. In severe cases, pressure on the spinal cord may cause loss of coordination in the muscles of your legs, making it difficult to walk normally. If your chest is deformed due to the scoliosis, your lungs and heart may be affected. This can cause breathing problems, fatigue, and even heart failure. Fortunately these severe symptoms are rare. However with advancement in age, the problem further aggravates. With time scoliosis develops and so does with time its symptoms manifest in an individual's life. A scoliotic person can be an active individual performing all the life tasks with zeal and vigor but the inability of their spine to stand straight is the major disabling factor in their life. Scoliosis progresses 8 times more in girls than in boys While scoliosis may develop in infancy or early childhood, the most common age for it to occur is early puberty, with most cases first detected between the ages of 9 and 13. The condition is related to growth and if it is going to get worse, it will mainly do so when the child is growing most rapidly. Of the approximately 2-2.5% of adolescents with scoliosis, the curve will worsen in about 10%. Though it is unclear why, scoliosis occurs equally across gender but progresses 8 times more in girls than in boys. This is why many specialists recommend that girls especially, but in fact all children, be screened frequently during growth. Rpx2FoRq
