Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lin Yunfei
Lumbar osteophytosis and osteoporosis are generally quite serious. Osteoporosis in the lumbar spine is usually caused by calcium loss in the body, and if left untreated, it may lead to fractures. It is recommended to go to the hospital for imaging examinations to determine the severity of the condition and receive targeted treatment accordingly.
