As we age, we all face the problem of deterioration of body functions, including the skeletal and muscle-based movement system. The increase in age easily reminds people of osteophytes, many older people talk about “hyperplasia” and think that any hyperplasia is something bad and must be removed before it is too late. There are also a variety of special drugs and ancestral recipes to meet the needs of this group of people. So, can we get rid of osteophytes? No! As far as the current medical level is concerned, all non-surgical treatments such as drugs cannot remove the “growths”, because by their very nature, the “bone growths” are similar to the bones of the human body, and the drugs available today cannot do anything to the growths. The current drugs are not able to target the hyperplasia without hurting the normal bone tissue. Therefore, do not believe in the so-called ancestral recipes in society. Since it cannot be removed, do we have to have surgery? No! Due to the degeneration of human body functions, especially the degeneration of bones, the strength of bones decreases, as the main structure to support the weight of the body, in order to still be able to complete its function, it can only increase the support surface, reduce the pressure per unit of the skeletal surface, that is, the pressure, such a situation is mostly manifested in the joint surface, so the osteophyte is a compensatory change of the bones, if the bones do not have this function, they can not complete its task of supporting the body If the bones do not have this function, they will not be able to complete their task of supporting the weight of the body, and the body will “collapse”, so from this aspect, hyperplasia is not necessarily a bad thing. However, if the hyperplastic tissue infringes on nerves, blood vessels and other important organs, it will manifest itself as a symptom, which then requires symptomatic treatment. This is also the reason why many patients and friends talk about “hyperplasia”. Therefore, it is not necessary to be anxious when you hear that you have osteophytes, you must analyze the specific situation and find a professional hospital and doctor for consultation, do not believe in the various gossip in the society.
