Patient's question:
Doctor, is it normal for me to experience Beh?et's disease again at my age? I am 56 years old.Doctor, what are the treatment methods for Beh?et's disease? What is the best way to treat it? I want to cure it so that it never appears again in the future. By the way, Doctor, are there any precautions I need to take in my daily life?
Doctor's answer:
At your age, a recurrence of Beh?et's disease is normal. It is an autoimmune vasculitis, and the reasons and mechanisms for its recurrence are not yet clear. Treatment mainly involves several aspects, such as symptomatic treatment, treatment for eye inflammation, and treatment for vasculitis. However, no treatment method can gradually alleviate the disease. Those with arthritis can take oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, while those with nodular erythema can try taking colchicine. For those with eye inflammation, oral and external ulcers, local use of corticosteroid drugs is recommended. In cases of visceral vasculitis or severe eye inflammation, the use of glucocorticoids or autoimmune attack agents is necessary.
