Patient's question:
Did I still need to take medication for the systemic lupus erythematosus I was diagnosed with last year? I am 40 years old this year, and my health has always been good. Last year, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough examination, where I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. I have been cooperating with the hospital in the treatment and hope to recover soon. Recently, the condition has been controlled and is very stable.Doctor's answer:
It may not be necessary to use Western medicine anymore; Western medicine may mainly consist of hormone-based and immunosuppressive drugs, which can easily cause side effects with prolonged use. Chinese herbal medicine can be used for regulation. Proper dietary therapy and medicinal cuisine should be practiced regularly. Identify and eliminate triggers, prevent various infections and allergies, and avoid taking contraceptive drugs. Avoid excessive sun exposure and stay away from places with radiation. Consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and always maintain a positive mindset.
