Pelvic lordosis is a pathology of the normal structure of the pelvis, in which the position of the bones of the lower ribs and sacrum changes. The pelvis can take a concave position when extending or a convex shape when bending. Women are more often affected due to the characteristics of the body.
The causes of lordotic changes are always abnormal: acquired diseases and genetic predisposition. Trauma plays an important role in the formation of the curvature of the pelvic bones. Lordosis provokes many diseases, for example, bone diseases, spinal hernia, pinched nerves.
Lordosis manifests itself on one side, most often on the left. It entails a physiological change in the articular parts of the bones, due to which scoliosis develops, complicating the work of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. Not only the pelvis itself suffers from destruction, but also the nearby vessels and nerves that supply the muscle structures.
The main symptom of lordotic pelvic lesion is pain that is concentrated in the coccyx area. You can get up and sit down without much effort, but any attempts to move forward lead to pain in the hip and lower back. This sensation causes nervous tension in the surrounding tissues, causing tension and pain in the spine. The anus during this process can provoke pain and bleeding. In some cases, bone fragility and soft tissue degeneration lead to the formation of calcifications and edema, which is reflected in the skin around the lesion. Pelvic lordosis is diagnosed by x-ray. In the initial stages, this method will reveal only indirect signs of pathology, so the procedure is often used in the absence of an external defect and the patient complains of discomfort. An advanced version of the disease is shown exclusively by encephalography and Dopplerography. During the study, the presence of pressure and pulse, the presence or absence of lung diseases and heart pathologies, as well as anatomical and physiological features are determined.
