Calcification of ribs may be caused by calcium deficiency, trauma, costochondritis, thyroiditis and other factors. 1. Calcium deficiency: If the calcium intake in the body is insufficient due to long-term partiality, picky eating and unbalanced nutritional intake, coupled with the serious loss of calcium, it is easy to have calcification of the ribs. 2. Trauma: If you are engaged in long-term physical labor, lifting heavy objects, strenuous exercise, etc., resulting in trauma to the rib area, leading to inflammation, if the recovery is not appropriate, it is easy to have calcification of the ribs. 3. Costal chondritis: If the cartilage at the junction of the sternum and the ribs undergoes an inflammatory reaction, it is easy to cause calcium deposition, which will lead to calcification of the ribs. 4. Thyroiditis: If the thyroid gland has inflammatory lesions, resulting in abnormal function, coupled with poor dietary habits and emotional fluctuations, it is easy to form the phenomenon of rib calcification. Calcification of the ribs accompanied by obvious symptoms of discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner.
