Rickets is a condition that affects bone development in children, leading to weak or soft bones. The main causes include:

• Vitamin D Deficiency

Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption. A lack of sunlight exposure or inadequate intake can cause rickets.

• Calcium Deficiency

Calcium is vital for strong bones. Without enough calcium, bones become weak and prone to deformities.

• Genetic Disorders 

Certain genetic conditions affect the body’s ability to use vitamin D or calcium properly, increasing the risk of rickets.

• Phosphate Deficiency

Phosphate helps in building strong bones. A deficiency can lead to rickets and bone weakness.

If you notice signs of rickets or have concerns about your child’s bone health, it’s important to consult Dr. Divyanshu Dutt Dwivedi, an experienced orthopedic doctor in Lucknow, for early detection and proper treatment. Early intervention can make a big difference in your child’s bone health!
