Hip arthrosis: symptoms and therapy at home

why does hip arthrosis occur

Coxarthrosis is a destructive-dystrophic pathology that covers the hip joints. The disease leads to thinning of the cartilage and proliferation of bone tissue, a decrease in the free space of the joint. Deformed bones that touch, wear, cause unbearable pain. When hip arthrosis develops, symptoms and treatment cannot be determined on their own.

Self-healing: a person starts an illness, risks disability. If grade 2 osteoarthritis of the hip joint is treated using conservative and folk methods, only surgery will eliminate stages 3-4. Therefore, treatment should be discussed with your doctor.

The disease is divided into two types:

  1. Primary coxarthrosisdevelops spontaneously. The disease mainly occurs in old age. This is due to age-related destructive changes in the joints.

  • lifting and carrying weights;
  • inappropriate physical activity;
  • congenital disorders of the thigh head;

  • endocrine diseases;
  • hormonal imbalance;
