What are the early symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis in women?

When it comes to spondylitis, we are actually not unfamiliar with it. It is a disease of the joints. We must take this disease seriously and detect and treat it early. Any disease has some symptoms, and for us these symptoms are the basis for our diagnosis and treatment. Although there are many medical devices that can help diagnose diseases comprehensively, the most important thing is that we must first understand ourselves. So what are the early symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis in women?

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by fibrosis and ossification of the large joints of the limbs, the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc and its surrounding connective tissue, and ankylosis of the joints. Ankylosing spondylitis is a very common orthopedic disease in clinical practice. If the symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis are not detected and treated in time, it will have a lot of impact on the patient's life and work.

symptom:

1. Typical symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include low back pain, morning stiffness, limited lumbar spine movement in all directions, and reduced chest mobility. In the early stages, decreased lumbar and thoracic mobility is often caused by enthesitis and responds well to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In the later stage, it is caused by ankylosing spine and has little response to treatment. As the disease progresses, the entire spine may become ankylosed from bottom to top. First, the lumbar lordosis disappears, followed by a hunchback deformity and limited cervical movement. The sternocostal joints fuse and the thorax becomes hard, and breathing relies on the movement of the diaphragm.

2. In the middle stage of ankylosing spondylitis, the main symptoms are pain in the lower back or lumbosacral region; stiffness of the lumbar spine in the morning; aggravated pain spreading upward from the lumbosacral region; limited and stiff spinal movement; fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, pale complexion, weight loss, and unclear bone edges of the sacroiliac joints on the AP pelvic radiographs, especially on one side of the ilium, accompanied by spotted bone sclerosis on both sides of the joint.

3. Late-stage symptoms and signs of ankylosing spondylitis: often accompanied by severe osteoporosis and prone to fractures. Cervical fractures are often fatal. Common signs of ankylosing spondylitis include sacroiliac joint compression disease, limited spinal flexion, extension, scoliosis and rotation, reduced thoracic mobility, and pillow-wall distance > 0.

The editor has already introduced the early symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis in women, and I believe everyone has understood it. Any disease is easiest to treat in its early stages, but not all of us can detect it in the early stages. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand the early symptoms of the disease. Ankylosing spondylitis is completely curable for us, so don't worry too much.
