M16: Coxarthrosis [arthrosis of hip]
Coxarthrosis, also known as arthrosis of the hip, encompasses a group of conditions that involve progressive degeneration and wearing away of the hip joint. Primarily categorized as a type of osteoarthritis, Coxarthrosis is usually a result of aging, with symptoms becoming more prevalent and severe with time. It's not a contagious disease and cannot be transmitted from person to person. Common signs and symptoms may include pain in the hip or groin, stiffness, and difficulty with certain movements such as bending or walking which often worsens after prolonged periods of use. The disease progression of Coxarthrosis varies among individuals and can depend on many factors, including lifestyle, body weight, and overall health. It often affects the musculoskeletal system, specifically the hip joint, resulting in reduced mobility and quality of life over time.
