Dawan NewsOn the evening of December 11, "Zhou Haimei" suddenly rushed to the hot search, and some netizens broke the news that Hong Kong star Zhou Haimei passed away due to the disease lupus erythematosus. In the early morning of December 12, producer and planner Tan Fei issued an article saying, "Zhou Haimei has not passed away, please don't spread false rumors from all walks of life." Dawan News learned that Zhou Haimei once denied suffering from lupus erythematosus and clarified that she had hypocythemia.
For a time, the unfamiliar disease of systemic lupus erythematosus attracted attention. Dawan News reporter learned that systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease, which is more likely to occur in women of childbearing age, with complex pathogenesis, insidious onset or abrupt, and dangerous and very easy to attack. Therefore, people often talk about the "wolf" color change.
**Complex, related to genetics, immunity and other factors
Why did systemic lupus erythematosus find me? "This is a question that many patients in the outpatient clinic have.
Ma Yan, chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the First Affiliated Hospital of China University of Science and Technology (Anhui Provincial Hospital), said that systemic lupus erythematosus is complex and related to genetics, immunity, sex hormones, and environmental factors such as viruses and bacterial infections.
Due to some unknown reason, the normal immune system of the human body is broken after the onset of the disease, and autoantibodies are produced to attack their own cells and tissues, causing adverse consequences such as tissue damage, organ dysfunction, disability, and even death.
Butterfly erythema on the cheeks often appears early in the disease
The reporter learned that the clinical manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus are diverse, and timely detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are very important.
The Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC held a free clinic on World Lupus Day.
So, what are the manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus? Experts said that in addition to systemic manifestations such as fever and fatigue, patients often have butterfly erythema or discoid erythema on the cheeks, chilblain-like rash, ** vasculitis, livedo reticularia, urticaria, photoallergy, hair loss, mouth ulcers, etc. In addition, the musculoskeletal muscles, blood system, kidneys, heart, lungs, nervous system, digestive system, etc. may be damaged to varying degrees.
There is no way to completely** for the time being, but in a timely manner**
Can SLE be **?
At present, there is no way to completely ** systemic lupus erythematosus. Ma Yan emphasized that appropriate and timely treatment, detailed disease observation and good nursing care are conducive to the control of the disease, which can effectively improve the prognosis and reduce organ damage.
Therefore, if you have systemic lupus erythematosus, don't be discouraged, and go to a regular medical institution for scientific research as soon as possible**. In addition, lupus erythematosus is a long-term process, and the drug must not be stopped without authorization, so as not to aggravate the condition, and you must cooperate with the doctor for regular reexamination. In the future, with the development of medicine, the emergence of new drugs and technologies will bring new hope to lupus.
It is possible to get married, and it is recommended to have a planned childbearing
If I have systemic lupus erythematosus, can I still get married and have children?
It is possible to marry normally, and it is recommended to have a planned childbearing. Ma Yan said that female patients of childbearing age, who have been stable for more than 6 months, have no damage to important organs, stop drugs that may cause teratogenesis to a safe enough time, and use hormones at a dose of prednisone below 15 mg per day (or equivalent) can be considered pregnant. Before trying to conceive, you should consult a rheumatologist and an obstetrician-gynecologist for fertility consultation and evaluation. During pregnancy, SLE disease activity and fetal growth and development should be closely monitored.
Proper exercise can enhance the patient's physical fitness.
If I have systemic lupus erythematosus, can I exercise?
Ma Yan believes that appropriate exercise can enhance patients' physical fitness and prevent adverse reactions such as weight gain, osteoporosis and muscle atrophy caused by long-term use of hormones. At the same time, exercise can also improve depression, anxiety and other bad moods, insomnia and fatigue.
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus should recuperate mainly during the active period of the disease, and at the same time ensure 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day. When the disease reaches a stable stage, you can exercise appropriately.
Ma Yan suggested that patients can choose sports, such as swimming, jogging, walking, cycling, tai chi, and if they are female patients, they can also choose gymnastics, yoga and other sports methods. The best amount of exercise is after exercise, so that the patient feels that it is better not to get tired. Exercise should be regular, gradual and within one's ability.
Eat no or less foods that have the effect of enhancing photosensitivity
What should be paid attention to in the daily care of patients?
First of all, we must adjust our mentality. Studies have found that undesirable emotions such as stress and depression can cause immune system disorders, triggering and aggravating lupus. Ma Yan suggested that the patient's family should give more understanding and support, eliminate various negative factors, and help the patient build confidence in overcoming the disease.
In addition, a healthy diet is essential for patients. Ma Yan said that protein is an immune activator, and excessive intake will enhance the body's immune function, but it is not good for autoimmune diseases, so it is necessary to consume high-quality protein in moderation. It is necessary to avoid or eat less foods that have the effect of enhancing photosensitivity, such as figs, celery, mushrooms, etc. Avoid spicy, smoked foods. "Patients are advised to eat at least one dark green and one orange vegetable a day, with plenty of vegetables and fruits; At least half of the cereals consumed daily are whole grains; Eat fish at least twice a week. ”
It is important to note that tobacco can induce the onset of systemic lupus erythematosus, so patients should avoid smoking. At the same time, pay attention to sun protection. Patients try to avoid traveling at 10:00 and 15:00 and do not sunbathe to prevent sunburn. Hang curtains indoors to reduce UV exposure. Avoid contact with irritating items such as hair dye, hairspray, etc.
