Question
What medication should be used to treat senile kyphosis and pigeon chest?
Answer
Hello, there is no need for surgical treatment for senile kyphosis and pigeon chest in the elderly. However, corrective surgery may be required for respiratory difficulties caused by changes in chest size. Individuals with high blood sugar have a lower tolerance for surgery and should lower their blood glucose levels to below 8 before undergoing the procedure. Otherwise, it does not meet the criteria for surgery. Currently, supplementing with calcium and vitamin D can help prevent osteoporosis.
