Patient's question:
What are the treatments for lupus? Is this internal and external illness necessarily treated both internally and externally?Doctor's answer:
Lupus primarily occurs because your immune system malfunctions and then launches remote attacks against your own tissues, leading to an autoimmune disease. However, this condition is mainly treated with oral hormones or autoimmune medications. Since it is an autoimmune disease, it is essential to have regular check-ups for antinuclear antibodies. Additionally, this disease can cause damage to multiple systems.
