How is systemic lupus erythematosus treated?

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. How should systemic lupus erythematosus be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus generally have severe conditions, requiring hospitalization for regular treatment, which can effectively reduce the recurrence of complications. Some may need to use hormones or even immunosuppressants for treatment. Daily, it is essential to pay attention to diet, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoiding sensitive foods such as rapeseed to prevent sun exposure, which helps alleviate symptoms.
