Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. How is Takayasu arteritis treated?Doctor's answer:
Aortitis is usually caused by autoimmune factors. It can be diagnosed through careful examination in a hospital and requires active treatment. If symptoms reappear significantly, it will be too late, and the use of hormones and other medications for treatment should be considered. You can go to the hospital for a thorough examination to receive targeted treatment. You can be treated in the vascular department of the hospital. The main goal of treatment is to control inflammation and prevent target organ damage caused by blood vessel blockage. The main medication is hormones, and the dosage is adjusted based on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Non-surgical treatment is the primary treatment during the course of treatment.
