The cause of chicken breast is that the sternum protrudes forward like chicken breast, and the incidence rate is about 8/10,000, which is about 4 times that of men. In recent years, due to the improvement of living standards and the emphasis on nutrition, the incidence rate has declined. Generally speaking, if the elders in the family have abnormal breasts, the probability of children suffering from chicken breasts will increase by two or three times, so some people think that heredity is the biggest factor in chicken breasts. In the fetal and infant period, uneven bone development around the chest can also cause chicken breasts. Another part is that rickets caused by long-term lack of nutrition, vitamin D and calcium after birth can also cause chicken breasts. Of course, some diseases in the chest cavity, such as congenital heart disease and chronic respiratory diseases, will also cause chicken breasts due to oppression to the sternum and ribs.
Lightweight chicken breast will have no complications except affecting the appearance of the body. Therefore, in addition to the usual corrective exercise, vitamin D supplementation, calcium supplementation and sun exposure, no additional treatment is needed. However, it will seriously affect the cardiopulmonary function and produce complications, such as fibroma and repeated respiratory infections, which will gradually deteriorate with age. Treatment must be carried out at this time.
Treatment of chicken breast: prevention first. At the end of pregnancy, pregnant women should supplement foods rich in vitamin D and protein, often bask in the sun and take vitamin D every day. For newborns, vitamin D and calcium should be supplemented every day after half a month. After the full moon, you can start sunbathing. It's best to sunbathe outdoors for an hour or two, and don't wear a hat and mask, which will affect the effect.
Use orthoses to correct. For those who are younger and less deformed, special orthopedic instruments can be used for correction. The effect is also good and the time is long.
Through exercise correction, we can improve the thoracic development by doing exercises and exercises. Doing exercises and sports are all about expanding your chest, such as doing push-ups, jogging, and naturally putting down your hands when standing.
Surgical treatment, patients with severe chicken breasts can be operated after 3 years old. There are usually many methods, such as turnover method and sedimentation method, which depend on the actual situation of patients and the judgment of doctors. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery has also achieved good results, with the advantages of less trauma, short time and quick recovery. Therefore, if the child has a serious chicken breast and is now three years old, it is time for surgery. You can consider operating on your child, and the expectation of recovery will be even worse. Treat as soon as possible.
Family care and love. No matter to what extent the child's chicken breasts are, as parents and family members, we must first establish a normal heart and a positive and loving attitude towards life. Children's communication, study and life should not be affected by diseases. Do a good job in children's life management, spend more time with children and communicate more, so that children can feel that you love him and appreciate him, instead of being impatient and disgusted. Only when children are calm and optimistic will they play an important role in the later recovery. If the child is not confident in the later stage, even after the operation, the expectation will not be too good, because the child's habitual bow and autism often bow his head and hold his chest while lying or walking, and have repeated attacks.
