Chapter 1337: Chapter 1336: Treatment by the Veteran Army Doctor
Generally speaking, there is a very high possibility of hunchback resulting from genetic inheritance, but Han Xiaofeng’s parents, even his grandparents from that generation, did not have, nor could they possibly have hunchback symptoms.
Now, over the past two days, Han Xiaofeng’s hunchback issue has become more obvious. Even when he walks, he’s very aware of it.
So now, Han Xiaofeng doesn’t dare to leave his room, fearing to be seen by other children from the Military District Compound, or even the soldiers.
As the eldest son of the Han Family, self-esteem is very important.
“Xiaofeng, how about I find a few doctors to come and have a look at you?”
Han Xiaofeng’s mother said.
Looking at her son now, she felt uncomfortable, and things can’t go on like this.
“Can doctors be of any help?”
Han Xiaofeng was completely unsure what the matter was, and these symptoms just appeared.
“How would you know if you don’t see a doctor?”
Now, with Han Xiaofeng so young, if things continue like this, wouldn’t he become an old man in just a few years?
Han Xiaofeng changed clothes in his room and then put on a mask to prevent others from recognizing him. He and his mother went downstairs and got in the jeep, and his mother drove to the Military Hospital of Jinling Military Region.
Arriving at the Military Hospital, she first took Han Xiaofeng to an outpatient surgical department to check what exactly was going on.
Doctors at the main hospital here are divided into two parts: one serving the military personnel, another serving ordinary citizens.
Now, Han Xiaofeng’s mother was here for the military service part, and upon entering the office of an outpatient surgical department, she first registered him and then entered, where an old military doctor personally conducted an examination on Han Xiaofeng.
“Master Han, when did these symptoms start appearing?”
“It seemed to start the night before last.”
The night before last?
From the perspective of the old Chinese medicine doctor, hunchback symptoms are either inherited congenitally or caused by bad postural habits, even possibly due to family stress, like frequently doing heavy bending tasks, and over time the back develops hunchback symptoms.
However, if a person suddenly develops hunchback, the old military doctor sees this as highly unlikely.
“Major Zhang, is there a history of hereditary issues in the family?”
The old military doctor asked Han Xiaofeng’s mother again.
“No, our family, including my parents and grandparents, and also Xiaofeng’s parents and grandparents, have never had hunchback symptoms.”
Han Xiaofeng’s mother said.
If that is truly the case, it indicates it’s not related to inheritance.
“Then Master Han doesn’t have any bad habits, right?”
“No.”
Han Xiaofeng’s mother replied directly.
She knows her son very well, apart from being competitive and strong-willed regarding his self-esteem, he really doesn’t have any bad habits in other aspects.
“Please try to think carefully.”
The old military doctor said again.
Han Xiaofeng and his mother thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with any bad habits or unfavorable hobbies. He even avoids cigarettes for fear of affecting lung capacity.
However, he does drink white wine, red wine, and beer normally, since other soldiers also drink.
“Doctor, apart from drinking alcohol, I have no other bad hobbies.”
Han Xiaofeng said.
“Drinking? Drinking could also be one of the symptoms causing hunchback. Please think, is there anything else? Like excessive training?”
Excessive training?
For other Special Forces, it might be the case, but as Han Xiaofeng is still a military school student, naturally he doesn’t train as excessively as formal soldiers.
So, it’s not likely due to training overload.
Han Xiaofeng kept thinking but eventually shook his head.
The old military doctor said, “Let me check your pulse and tongue first.”
After checking Han Xiaofeng’s pulse and tongue, the old military doctor found it strange because there were no irregularities found.
Both pulse and tongue were perfectly normal, under such conditions, it would be impossible for symptoms of hunchback to appear.
“Doctor, how is it?”
Han Xiaofeng’s mother asked urgently.
“From examining Master Han’s pulse and tongue just now, his body is very healthy. But why did these symptoms suddenly appear? According to the perspective from Chinese medicine differentiation, and with the questions I asked earlier, they are likely irrelevant, so you should get an X-ray examination to see if there are issues with the bones in the back. After you complete the examination and bring the report back, I will then prescribe medicine for treatment.”
Han Xiaofeng’s mother could only take him for further examination. Now Jinling Military Region’s hospital is one of the largest military hospitals, also a very good top tier hospital. The military region has funds, so medical equipment are the most advanced, directly imported from Germany and other countries.
Now Han Xiaofeng’s mother is just taking him for an examination of the upper back and waist.
The most daunting thing now is possible changes in the spine, potentially caused by physical ailments.
At the examination department, after completing the X-ray check for Han Xiaofeng, they learned from the X-ray results that Han Xiaofeng’s lower back bone, including the primary bone, had visible changes. Compared to a normal person’s spine, it indeed had started to bend a little.
“Major Zhang, Master Han, look at this image, you can see the comparison.”
When both looked, they found that Han Xiaofeng’s own X-ray image indeed had some evident differences.
“Mom, what should we do?”
Han Xiaofeng asked.
“Doctor, what usually causes this condition?”
“This could either be due to congenital inheritance or a result of bad habits slowly developed, like not sitting properly while walking or sitting for a long time, which results in this condition.”
As the head physician of the inspection department at the Military Hospital, he has rarely encountered such situations with offspring of the Military District Compound before.
“Mom, what should we do?”
Han Xiaofeng worriedly asked.
“Thank you, doctor.”
Han Xiaofeng’s mother took him away, returning to the old military doctor’s outpatient office. She handed the examination report to him, and after reviewing the X-ray image, said, “Major Zhang, Master Han, if no further tests were conducted, and other aspects have no issues, my current treatment suggestion is to take medication and also undergo auxiliary treatment, akin to gradually adjusting the back.”
Nowadays, many teenagers have developed hunchback symptoms, largely related to factors like class posture, but now there are various corrective devices available for hunchback, that over time can straighten the back.
