Anyone here have Spina Bifida occulta ?

[Mark2012]

I’m wondering if Spina Bifida occulta has any connection to PFS ?

I only found out I had it last year after I had a CT scan. Its one of the most common birth defects out there about 1 in 20 people have it.

Most people who have Spina Bifida occulta don’t even know they have it. One way of telling if you have it is to check if you have too small holes at the end of your lower back.

See the picture below if your lower back has those holes on the left and right then its probably Spina Bifida occulta.

This could be nothing or maybe it makes us more susceptible to PFS ?

Spina Bifida Occulta
It is often called “hidden Spina Bifida” because about 15 percent of healthy people have it and do not know it. Spina Bifida Occulta usually does not cause harm, and has no visible signs. The spinal cord and nerves are usually fine. People find out they have it after having an X-ray of their back. It is considered an incidental finding because the X-Ray is normally done for other reasons. However, in a small group of people with SBO, pain and neurological symptoms may occur. Tethered cord can be an insidious complication that requires investigation by a neurosurgeon.

No. Pls stop looking for connections where there are none. We took a hormone and neurosteroid altering drug, this doesn’t have anything to do with back/spinal positioning.

Yea I’m not getting that one as well…

What is it exactly just a condition where u have 2 small holes in your back ?

Is your spinal cord not straight or somthing?

I’m just not getting the possible connection or really even understanding what the condition is

Spina Bifida can cause neurological problems thats why I was wondering if there was any connection with PFS.
