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. I would like to ask if lupus will recur after sun exposure?Doctor's answer:
Sunlight exposure can trigger lupus, and frequent sun exposure can lead to the onset of this condition. Therefore, patients need to take precautions to protect themselves from sunlight. Systemic lupus requires an increase in photosensitive foods. This disease is an autoimmune disorder, so it is necessary to adopt immunosuppressive treatment. In daily life, avoid foods and medications that contain estrogen. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
