How Avascular Necrosis Occurs and What Type of Ayurveda Treatment is Needed
Overview of Avascular Necrosis
Avascular Necrosis refers to bone tissue death because of the lack of enough blood supply. Doctors also call it osteonecrosis and it results in tiny breaks in the human bone and eventually collapse of the respective bone.
Common Causes of Avascular Necrosis
The condition of Avascular Necrosis takes place whenever the flow of blood to any bone reduces or interrupts, which causes due to-
- Bone or Joint Trauma
Bone or joint trauma refers to a dislocated joint or any other similar type of injury, which causes damage to the surrounding blood vessels. Besides, the radiation therapy type of cancer treatment weakens the bone and harms blood vessels.
- Deposition of Fats/Lipids
The deposition of fats or lipids may sometimes block a few of the small blood vessels, which reduces the flow of blood responsible for feeding the surrounding bones.
- Medical Conditions
Sickle cell anemia and other similar types of medical conditions lead to the diminishing of blood flow to certain bones.
Risk Factors of Avascular Necrosis
A few of the common risk factors to develop the condition of Avascular Necrosis include the following-
Trauma
Hip fracture, hip dislocation, and other similar types of injuries may cause damage to the surrounding blood vessels and reduce the flow of blood to certain bones.
Steroid Usage
The application of steroids, like high-dose corticosteroids, like prednisone, is a major cause of the condition of Avascular Necrosis. This is because steroids increase the blood lipid levels to reduce the flow of blood.
Use of Bisphosphonate Medications
Long-term use of bisphosphonate medications, which intend to enhance the bone density contributes to developing necrosis of the jaw. It is a rare complication that takes place in people who underwent treatment with bisphosphonate medicines of high doses to treat cancers.
Excessive Use of Alcohol
Consumption of various alcoholic drinks in a day for many years may lead to fatty deposits in the blood vessels.
Specific Medical Treatments
Radiation therapy to treat cancer causes weakening of bones. Moreover, kidney and other organ transplants have a close association with necrosis.
