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 is the condition of lupus erythematosus?Doctor's answer:
Lupus is an autoimmune inflammatory connective tissue disease that primarily affects multiple organs and is more common in young women. The cause of this disease is still unclear, and it is generally believed to be related to hereditary endocrine transmission across generations, abnormal autoimmunity, or environmental factors. The clinical manifestations are also diverse. Treatment for this condition is primarily based on hormone therapy, while also including psychological and spiritual encouragement.
