Patient's question:
Three years ago, I developed red spots on my face, lost all my hair, and had an accelerated heartbeat. The onset of the illness three years ago might be due to long-term overexertion during training.Past Treatment and Effects:
After taking hormones, the condition stabilized for about a year. The medications I took included hormones, calcium supplements, hydroxychloroquine sulfate, methotrexate, folic acid, and others.
What kind of help do you need:
What does "2+" occult blood in the urine test result mean? How can I prevent this situation in the future? How can I protect my body?
Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease with positive urine occult blood, and kidney damage should be considered. With standardized treatment, this disease can be managed very well, allowing patients to train and live like ordinary people. Hormones should be used to induce remission, and long-term treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs such as hydroxychloroquine, cyclosporine, and cyclophosphamide is necessary. A balanced diet is sufficient, but calorie intake needs to be controlled to prevent weight gain. The intake of light-sensitive foods such as green leafy vegetables and mushrooms should also be controlled. Sun protection is also important.
