Dr. Xu Shuai
The symptoms of anterior pelvic tilt are mainly manifested as body proportion imbalance and discomfort such as pain. Specifically, patients often exhibit a forward tilting of the pelvis, leading to lower body obesity, protruding buttocks, forward protrusion of the lower abdomen, and possibly visceral ptosis and disproportionate buttocks. These symptoms not only affect physical appearance but may also trigger a series of health problems. Regarding pain, patients may experience excessive strain as the body attempts to maintain balance, resulting in shoulder and neck pain, lower back pain, and even possible lumbar disc herniation. Additionally, anterior pelvic tilt may affect the normal functioning of pelvic organs, potentially causing constipation, menstrual irregularities, and other issues. These symptoms significantly impact patients' daily life and work; therefore, timely medical consultation and appropriate treatment measures are recommended.
