What is human tissue calcification?

A certain tissue in the human body undergoes necrosis due to the influence of some other factors. In addition, the calcium salts in the human body will be deposited and necrotic in the body. This process in which the situation becomes increasingly stable is called calcification of the human body. In fact, this is a reaction of the human body. In order to prevent human body diseases, this situation has a certain effect on the subsidence of inflammation in the human body. Some tissues become very hard after calcification, such as bones. Children's bones can only become adult bones after calcification. So what else causes calcification in human tissue?

"Calcification points in the joints" generally refers to calcification points in the joint ligaments, and a small number are calcifications of the joint surfaces (a more serious type). If there are calcification points in the joint ligaments and they do not cause pain or affect movement, no treatment is required. However, treatment is required if there are symptoms.

In simple terms, there are three main factors that lead to the formation of calcification: one is the product of metabolism; two is the traces of infection and inflammation; and three is the tissue changes caused by inflammatory response during tumor development. Basically, calcifications usually do not cause any symptoms and are often already present for many years by the time they are discovered. It is worth noting that some calcification points are benign and patients do not need to take them seriously.

However, many calcification points are symptoms of certain chronic or acute diseases and should not be taken lightly. In the past, this type of disease was classified as an injury. If a sports player like Yao Ming had a joint injury that was really troublesome, most of the time it would be treated with a minor local surgery. This was related to the severity of the injury. If it was not serious, you would just rest for a few months. If it was classified as a bone fracture, then that would be fine. Generally, people who engage in strenuous exercise for a long time will have more or less calcification in their joints. This is a type of joint bone hyperplasia caused by self-protection. Just like many people have particularly large finger joints, it is because they exert too much force, which leads to local changes in themselves due to adaptation to external changes. In some cases, it is caused by rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, or long-term drinking of local water with excessive mineral content. This can only be caused by changing the external environment so that the body can recover accordingly.

In fact, renal tuberculosis can also cause calcification. This calcification indicates that tuberculosis is about to heal. Therefore, after patients with pulmonary tuberculosis recover, some calcification points will remain in their lungs. This is actually harmless to the human body. Collective calcification is like a person's skin that needs to form a scab after being injured and may leave a scar afterwards. Therefore, some calcification is harmless.
