Hip depression may be triggered by congenital factors, or it may be caused by acquired factors such as severe malnutrition, nerve compression, hip joint lesions, and wasting muscle atrophy.
1. Congenital factors: congenital dysplasia or congenital diseases, such as congenital hip dislocation, etc., may cause structural abnormality of the buttocks, resulting in depressions of the buttock muscles on both sides.
2. Severe malnutrition: If you have been in severe malnutrition for a long time, it may lead to abnormal wasting, resulting in the lack of fat in the buttocks and inward depression.
3. Nerve compression: prolonged nerve compression, such as lumbar disc herniation compressing the sciatic nerve, etc., may also cause atrophy and depression of the hip muscles.
4. Hip joint lesions: Occupational lesions in the hip joint, such as osteoarthritis of the hip joint, may affect the peripheral muscle tissues, causing atrophy and depression.
5. Wasting muscle atrophy: If there are serious injuries to the spine and lower limbs, and need to stay in bed for a long period of time, the hip muscles will be prone to wasting atrophy, which will lead to depression.
If the hip depression occurs, you should go to the hospital for a complete examination to clarify the cause of the disease, so that you can cooperate with the doctor to complete the treatment and avoid delaying the condition, in order to prevent causing other physical problems.
