Patient's question:
The doctor himself suffers from ankylosing spondylitis. I have used some folk remedies to treat him, and now his condition has stabilized to some extent, and it will absolutely not recur frequently. However, in the past month, it has recurred three or four times, which makes me a bit anxious. So, I would like to ask what are the causes of the recurrence of ankylosing spondylitis?Doctor's answer:
The exact cause of relapse in ankylosing spondylitis is not yet fully clear, and it is related to factors such as intergenerational inheritance, environmental factors, autoimmune conditions, and catabolic metabolism. Patients with ankylosing spondylitis can effectively control their condition through a healthy lifestyle and medication, which can slow down the stiffness, adhesion, and deformation of the spine and sacroiliac joints, thereby improving their quality of life. Patients should pay attention to preventing cold and avoiding catching a cold in their daily lives.
