Can Bulimia Cause Bulging Discs In The Cervical Spine?
Hello. I have been diagnosed with bulging discs in the cervical spine and slight cervical osteoarthritis. I alpm wondering if this condition could have been perhaps caused by my bulimia (through the violent vomiting). I have purged on average twice a week for the past 15 years until recently. I am 35. Thank you. Regards.

Bulging of discs indicates degenerative changes which is a normal phenomenon and don't have yo do anything with bulemia. Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.
