Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why does the back hurt after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you mentioned are typical of ankylosing spondylitis. Stiffness and pain, especially in the lower back during nighttime sleep, which alleviate after movement. Ankylosing spondylitis primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, and its symptoms vary depending on the affected area. It is classified as either ascending or descending. In its early stages, it mainly presents as morning stiffness, joint swelling, and pain. As the condition progresses, joints may become adhesive, fused, and eventually ankylosed, leading to disability. The key to treating this disease lies in early diagnosis and early treatment. With systematic and standardized treatment in the middle and early stages, it can be completely cured. I hope you seek medical attention promptly, get an early diagnosis, and receive standardized, systematic treatment.
