How is rheumatoid arthritis caused?
The incidence of rheumatoid arthritis has a certain relationship with family genetic factors. There are patients with rheumatoid arthritis in general families, and their offspring are easily inherited. Some parents have rheumatoid arthritis, and their children have a 50% chance of inheriting the disease.
Rheumatoid arthritis is also related to bacterial infection. Bacterial invasion of joints can lead to inflammation of bones and cartilage, and also lead to rheumatoid arthritis. There is a wound at the joint, and bacteria enter the body from the wound, which will aggravate the condition and affect the immune mechanism of the body, so it is also a cause of rheumatoid arthritis.
Wind-cold is also one of the causes of rheumatoid arthritis. Long-term exposure of legs and arms will be attacked by wind and cold, leading to joint inflammation, which is also a common factor of rheumatoid arthritis. In summer, some people are greedy for the cold, and they blow directly at the air conditioner for a long time, and cold air invades the body, leading to rheumatoid arthritis.
Living in a dark and humid environment for a long time can also lead to the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. The humidity in the room is heavy, and it is dark all year round. People who live and work in such an environment will become weak and their immune function will be reduced, which will lead to rheumatoid arthritis.
Endocrine disorders can also lead to rheumatoid arthritis to some extent. The endocrine system has the function of regulating the internal environment of the body. Once the disorder occurs, it will break the healthy balance of the body, thus increasing the chance of suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
Long-term high workload and high mental stress are also important factors inducing rheumatoid arthritis. Some people stay up late for a long time, which will cause endocrine disorders, which will lead to the evolution of hormones and metabolites in the body, and also lead to rheumatoid arthritis.
Although there are many causes of rheumatoid arthritis, some factors are related. In life, staying away from these pathogenic factors can reduce the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis.
Suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, how to relieve it?
After suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, patients who want to relieve should actively carry out effective treatment. After a check-up before treatment and a clear understanding of the cause and condition, the effect of symptomatic medication will be more secure. The causes of rheumatoid arthritis are different, and the corresponding treatment methods are also different. It is necessary to carry out scientific symptomatic treatment for patients.
In addition to active treatment, patients can also relieve pain through cold compress and hot compress. Some patients have rheumatoid arthritis in their knees. Cold compress on the focus can play a role in clearing away heat and relieving pain. After the heat subsides, hot compress can dispel the cold in the joints.
Pay attention to cold and warmth, and protecting joint health is inseparable from joint warmth. When the weather turns cold, adding clothes properly and not blowing cold air can improve the condition of rheumatoid arthritis. A reasonable diet can also help to alleviate the disease, and eating less spicy food can avoid further aggravation of the disease.
For patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis, when drug treatment and daily care can not effectively improve the condition, surgical treatment should be considered. There are many kinds of surgical treatments, and different patients have different surgical methods.
Although rheumatoid arthritis is harmful, as long as it is actively treated, it can make the condition better. According to the needs of their own illness, scientific treatment and nursing can achieve the ideal therapeutic effect.
