When I was 16 years old I was wearing a brace and at that time the doctor (orthopaedist) asked me to wear the brace until the growing period stops. So i just wore for a few years and stopped wearing. After that I did not face any problem.
But recently a year ago (soon after marriage), I started to suffer from low back pain especially during my periods. So when I visited the spine specialist I took a MRI and x-ray of the spine. MRI was normal. But x-ray showed that the curvature has slightly increased by a few degrees. So the doctor advised me to go for a correction. He was talking about supporting the spine with a rod. I dont know much about it. Doctor did not specify much about becoming pregnant at this time. He also said that surgery can be postponed to a few years.. Also the doctor said that there are chances of the curvature getting increased by 1-2 degrees a year. Apart from that I donot suffer from any other problem..
