Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm easily feeling cold in my limbs, I'm very afraid of cold and prone to foot numbness. I suspect I might have Takayasu arteritis. I don't understand this disease very well, and the people around me are the same. Hello doctor, how is Takayasu arteritis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Takayasu arteritis requires a check-up of the condition. Its treatment is primarily based on medication and surgical intervention. Takayasu arteritis is an aseptic inflammation of the blood vessels. Anti-inflammatory treatment aims to control the spread and prevent the progression of the disease. Steroids are commonly used to suppress inflammation. If medication is ineffective, surgical treatment is recommended. Rest regularly, avoid transmission, prevent fatigue and heavy lifting, and pay attention to a nutritious diet. When you have time, visit a specialized hospital for a follow-up check-up. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
