Spicules

Spicules are special structures that can be seen on x-rays. They are thin and long spines that protrude from the surface of the body. Spicules can come in different sizes and shapes, but they usually have a pointed end and a fine structure.

Spicules are formed as a result of various diseases and injuries. For example, spicules can appear in osteoporosis, when bones become more fragile and brittle. Spicules can also occur due to bone fractures and other injuries.

X-rays are used to diagnose diseases associated with spicules. On them you can see spicules that protrude from the bone tissue. This helps doctors determine the cause of the disease and prescribe the correct treatment.

In addition, spicules can be used as markers to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. For example, if the spicules decrease in size or disappear after treatment, this may indicate that the treatment was successful.

Overall, spicules are an important diagnostic tool that helps doctors identify diseases and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.



**Spicules** are foreign bodies that can penetrate soft tissues, cavities or organs through damaged integuments or natural openings of the body and continue to move under the influence of biological and physical factors that imitate and facilitate their penetration. These can be sticks, corals, teeth, tree leaves and other materials.

Usually, when translated into Russian, the name is written together (spicula). however there is an exception. It is better and more correct to write items such as knitting needles, spikes, spurs, etc. separately. Previously, only various objects found in women's breasts were called spicules. In the minds of the majority today, this is, as it were, the only example of spicules, and therefore, when many people talk about them, they mean those in the chest. But this is not correct. Firstly, how did people even decide that those same “pectorals” are spacules? This has already been discussed a hundred times on the Internet, and I hope this does not stick in your head as the same fact as it did for me. But as for the word “just like objects stuck with a syringe into women’s breasts,” this is a new phenomenon, a “new trend,” one might say, and not everyone has immediately accepted it. It should be called something like that.

Here, for example, is one of the very emotional discussions of a similar case from American sources: [separate discussion](http://www.bignosealerts.com/wdknews/2016/12/big_buried_spik_l.htm), now, by the way, they are doing as in most cases, they are referring women to psycho specialists
