Osteomalacia is not a fatal disease, so there is no need to be overly worried or afraid, and it will not affect normal life expectancy. Osteomalacia is a degenerative change in the body that occurs as the body ages and compensatory cartilage growth occurs around the chronically worn joint cartilage and is calcified. In layman’s terms, where there is pressure, there is resistance. If the cartilage in the human body is worn out, there will be reactive hyperplasia, and it will calcify over time, which is a normal reaction to human aging, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Proper understanding of osteophytes, its symptoms can be relieved or treated. The main treatment is to relieve the symptoms and treat the symptoms. Although the lesions are irreversible, they do not affect life expectancy per se. Those with significant pain are given anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, and those with significant osteoporosis can be treated with anti-osteoporosis drugs. The degree of degeneration is more serious in obese patients than in thin ones, so obese people need to control their weight and do physical exercise appropriately, and consider surgery only when severe osteophytes are compressing nerves and other important tissues.
