Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. What are the symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus?Doctor's answer:
It is due to the patient's own immune system disorder, which leads to the formation of antibodies by the body to attack its own organs or tissues, resulting in inflammatory diseases. This causes damage to multiple systems and tissues, primarily occurring in women aged 20 to 40. The incidence rate has a strong correlation with gender. There are obvious symptoms of skin damage, and the main treatment methods include general care: patients with systemic lupus erythematosus should pay attention to rest, avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays and sunlight, and undergo regular monitoring to detect complications such as pneumonia, with timely treatment.
