Patient's question:
My husband is already 32 years old this year, and he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis the year before. I am very worried about him because he is still relatively young. I would like to know how to treat ankylosing spondylitis? I hope the doctor can give some good advice.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of ankylosing spondylitis can be based on non-drug therapy. First and foremost, one must have the belief to persist in treatment. Ankylosing spondylitis can be controlled by drug therapy to prevent the progression of the disease. It is necessary to maintain correct postures for standing, walking, sitting, and lying down at all times. Pay attention to exercising the function of the chest and hip joints. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken for treatment. Maintain a positive mindset, as psychological therapy is more important than drug therapy.
