Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 43 years old this year, and I have Behcet's disease. It happened so suddenly, and there was no sign of improvement at all. Now, I occasionally have flare-ups, and if it's a humid weather, the pain becomes very severe. I would like to ask the doctor, what are the treatments available for Behcet's disease?Doctor's answer:
Beh?et's disease is a type of vasculitis, which is an autoimmune disease that generally has a hereditary, infectious, or environmental relationship. Patients may experience recurrent oral and perineal ulcers and rashes. Oral medications that regulate the immune system or immune preparations can be used, and topical corticosteroids can also be used in combination. Generally, patients need long-term oral medication for symptomatic treatment.
