What is anterior spondylotic change l3-l4?
impression; anterior spondylotic changes at c5-c6 level
What do MRI results mean if they say mild reversal of the cervical lordosis with early dehydration and annular bulging at C4-5?
Sorry that your answer hasn't been replied to yet, and I don't know everything about what you are asking but, I know about the lordosis. "Mild" reversal of the cervical lordosis is way better than a complete reversal. The Lordosis is the actual curve in the cervical spine (neck). Normally, the lordosis curves inward toward your throat. If there are changes in the lordosis, it means that it is starting to straighten (first) out to what they call "military neck". I have a complete reversal of the lordosis which means that my cervical spine has lost the complete curve and actually curves the opposite way. This is due to a whiplash injury from a rear-end collision in July of this year. I also have bulging in the same area as you, and problems in T1, T2 & T3. Bulging of the C4-5 is where your cervical vertabre is bulging out of your spine. More than likely due to disk injury. Each vertabre is numbered. There are 7 vertabre in the neck area, each are numbered starting from the joint where they spine and head connect. (Cervical 4 & Cervical 5) The term cervical deals only with the neck. Thoracic deals with the upper back. So, after C7, it then changes to T1, T2 etc. Good luck on your recovery. It's a long road or so I hear to finally get back to normal or close to it!

What does spondylotic changes mean?
Spondylotic changes refer to degenerative alterations in the spine, commonly associated with aging. These changes can include the development of bone spurs, disc degeneration, and joint stiffness, often leading to conditions such as osteoarthritis. Symptoms may range from mild discomfort to significant pain and reduced mobility, depending on the severity of the degeneration. Spondylotic changes are frequently observed in imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs.
What is straightening of normal cervical lordosis?
The cervical spine (neck) has a natural curve, the lordotic curvature, that allows for even weight distribution and shock-absorbing properties. Straightening of the lordotic curvature means that this natural curve has been lost, and the cervical spine has become straighter.
When i got my mri report it quotes minor spondylitic change in the cervical spine and lower lumber dehydration but i still have balance walking and breathing problems?
spondylitic (although more likely to be spondylotic) changes and lumbar disc dehydration are both extremely common findings on MRI scans when looking at the spinal column of older people. The discs become dehydrated as we get older and that is why we shrink. spondylotic means wear and tear or degeneration.Neither of these cause breathing problems or imbalance when walking and they were unlikely to have been caused as a result of a problem in the spinal column.
Can you still have cervical mucus changes while on birth control?
You should not expect cyclic cervical mucus changes while on hormonal birth control. Hormonal birth control thickens the cervical mucus.
What does mild spondylotic degenerative changes mean?
Mild degenerative changes of the spine means that there is some loss of bone in the spine. This can happen for many reasons.
Why do you need a cervical smear test?
A cervical smear is a screening test for cervical cancer and precancerous changes on the cervix. It allows early treatment if a problem is found.
Is it normal to have cervical mucus everyday and not just before your period?
Yes. You have cervical mucus everyday and it also changes everyday.
What is end plate spondylotic lipping?
End plate spondylotic lipping refers to the formation of bony outgrowths on the edges of the spinal vertebrae due to degenerative changes in the spine, typically seen in the aging population. It is often associated with osteoarthritis and can contribute to symptoms such as back pain and stiffness. Management usually involves conservative measures like physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
What condition can be diagnosed from a colposcopy?
Abnormal conditions that can be detected using colposcopy and biopsy include precancerous tissue changes (cervical dysplasia), cancer, and cervical warts (human papilloma virus).
