Rickets is a disease in which there is an insufficient amount of vitamin D in the body. It is synthesized by the skin when exposed to ultraviolet rays. This important element is found in foods such as fish, liver, sour cream, egg yolk, meat, milk, corn and butter. The highest content is in herring.
Doctors distinguish between the primary and secondary types of the disease. Primary – classical and secondary rickets are associated with other chronic syndromes and diseases.
This disease mainly affects young children, but rickets also occurs in adults.
Why do you need this vitamin?
Vitamin D helps the absorption of calcium from the intestine. Promotes its natural distribution in the body. With the right amount and interaction of these elements, the musculoskeletal system develops well, and the functioning of the brain and nerve fibers, as well as other organs and systems, improves.
Vitamin D deficiency appears:
1. In the absence of sunlight, in the winter and autumn season.
2. When vitamin is not absorbed from the intestine.
Signs and stages of rickets.
There are several stages during this disease.
1. The initial manifestation of the disease is indicated by: poor sleep, moodiness and irritability, timidity, increased perspiration, poor appetite, excessive excitability. To establish the diagnosis, blood is taken for the level of calcium and phosphorus. If the initial symptoms of rickets are not treated, the next stage occurs after a few weeks.
2. The second stage of the disease. The bone system is deformed. The shape of the child's skull may change. Due to the curvature, the bones of the legs and pelvis suffer. Teeth don't grow well. The activity of other vital systems in the body is distorted.
3. Severe rickets is stage 3. It is characterized by anemia, severe deformity of the musculoskeletal system, central nervous system damage, muscle changes, and delayed not only physical but mental development.
Prevention and treatment of rickets.
Measures aimed at preventing the development of the disease:
- a healthy, balanced diet, with the inclusion of the products listed above in the diet;
- elimination of bacterial imbalance in the intestine;
- saturation of the body with medications containing vitamin D;
- breastfeeding a baby.
Prevention of rickets should be carried out at an early age. Children who have not been fully cured and are weakened by colds are especially in need of prevention. Babies born in all seasons except summer.
Walks are useful. It is not recommended to take the vitamin in the summer, because it is sunny at this time of the year. The skin produces its own vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
