Here Is All You Need To Know About Lupus
Systemic lupus erythematosus or lupus is a
disease of the immunity system. Your immune system protects the body from
infection. However, in this condition, the immune system inappropriately
attacks tissues in various parts of the body. The tissues get damage through
these abnormal activities
The symptoms of lupus usually start in
adulthood, anywhere from the teen years into the 30s. People generally
experience flare-ups of symptoms followed by periods of remission.
Since early symptoms are similar to those of
other conditions, having them doesn’t necessarily mean you have lupus. Early
symptoms can include:
Fatigue
Fever
Hair loss
Rash
Pulmonary problems
Kidney problems
Swollen joints
Gastrointestinal problems
Thyroid problems
Dry mouth and eyes
While the cause of lupus is unknown but it
appears to be something that triggers the immune system to attack various areas
of the body. That's why immunity herbal supplements are one of the main forms
of treatment.
However, there is no specific cure for lupus.
Still, treatments can help you feel better and improve your symptoms. The
treatment will depend on your symptoms and needs. The goals of treatment are
to:
Prevent flares
Treat symptoms when they happen
Reduce organ damage and other problems
Your treatment might include medicines to:
Reduce swelling and pain
Calm your immune system to prevent it from
attacking the organs and tissues in your body
Reduce or prevent damage to the joints
Reduce or prevent organ damage
