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 results were not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Can systemic lupus erythematosus be cured?Doctor's answer:
At the current level of medical technology, systemic lupus erythematosus cannot be completely self-healed. After being diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, it is necessary to reiterate the importance of standardized treatment. During the remission period of the disease, strong medications are needed to suppress autoimmune reactions and infections, preventing or reducing damage to vital organs. Even during remission, additional medications should be used to maintain treatment. Therefore, it is recommended to advise a good friend to maintain a positive attitude, not to be overly anxious, and to remind her to have regular prenatal check-ups.
