The presence of 2 symptoms in the body is already the beginning of the disease
The 35-year-old woman published on the social platformCard DI wrote a warning saying that I started suffering from prickly heat 2-3 years ago and that the mouth sores were occurring more and more frequently. At first I had prickly heat every two months, then once a month. The victim, a woman, sought medical treatment for the problem, but the otolaryngologist only said that “it could be related to stress and vitamin intake.” She then searched for information on the Internet and discovered that it might be due to hormonal fluctuations in women during menstruation, which made her “easy to get angry and angry.” But she didn’t take it seriously. She just thought she was suffering from heat or stress, so she didn’t do any further testing after taking vitamin supplements.
It is believed that heat often causes prickly heat and that Chinese medicine can slow this deterioration.
Until the beginning of this year, the situation did not improve and became more and more serious. The female victim described that “two holes will be broken at the same time, and one of them will be healed and a new one will be broken.” The long-term injury in the mouth “is painful as hell.” The victim’s boyfriend noticed something unusual and said he heard a doctor say “maybe it wasn’t just anger” and suggested she go to the hospital. hospital to take blood for an examination.
After a series of blood tests, the victim learned that her index finger was abnormal during a follow-up exam. Later, more tests were carried out and it was confirmed that she suffered from Sjögren’s disease, an immune system disease.
The doctor read the blood test report and asked the first question: “Why do you have eyes?” », “Yes, they are very dry”; “Is your mouth dry?” “, “It’s okay, it’s just a broken mouth. “But the subsequent examination confirmed that my saliva production had decreased. After two rounds of blood tests, MRI scans and tests for dry eye syndrome, it was officially confirmed that I had Sjögren’s syndrome .The doctor said I could apply for a serious injury card.
The victim pointed out that women with Sjögren’s disease are 10 times more likely than men to suffer from it, but the disease mainly occurs in women after menopause. Fortunately, Sjögren’s disease has not yet affected his liver and kidneys, and is currently only attacking his eyes and mouth. Fortunately, the disease is still under control at the moment. Dry eye can be relieved with artificial tears that flow. People suffering from prickly heat can take vitamin supplements to reduce and shorten wound healing time, so overall it does not impact life. . She also began using traditional Chinese medicine to help regulate her body, hoping to control her condition and “hopefully restore my tear ducts and saliva lines to some extent.”
Appeal to Internet users not to underestimate the symptoms of prickly heat
Many netizens left comments under the post, saying that prickly heat is a very common thing and that the female victim might just be “wary” due to the pressure in her life. Some netizens also pointed out that you should see a doctor quickly if you feel unwell, and not wait until it is already too late when you are terminally ill.
Postmenopausal women are at high risk
According to the Hong Kong Rheumatism Foundation, the full name of Sjögren’s syndrome is Sjögren’s syndrome, which is chronic inflammation caused by an imbalance in the autoimmune system. This disease mainly affects the epithelial cells of the exocrine glands (such as the salivary glands and lacrimal glands). Due to lymphocyte invasion, normal secretory function is gradually lost. The cause is unknown.
There are two types of Sjögren’s disease, primary and secondary Sjögren’s disease. The former primarily presents with symptoms of dry eye and dry mouth, but can also damage one or more internal organs, primarily the lungs, kidneys and liver. If it is accompanied or secondary to other diseases of the autoimmune system, such as lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, etc., it is called secondary Sjögren’s disease.
The incidence rate is generally around 0.3 to 0.7%. Patients are mainly middle-aged and older, and the disease usually occurs between the ages of 40 and 50. Among patients with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus erythematosus, the incidence of secondary Sjögren’s disease is the same. This rate can reach 10 to 30%. The older you are, the higher the proportion of people suffering from secondary Sjögren’s disease. Although both men and women are affected, the number of women affected is almost 10 times that of men.
3 major causes of Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome
The specific cause of Sjögren’s disease is not yet clear, but it is believed to be related to genetic genes, viral infection, or hormones.
- Genetic:It has been observed that groups with or without certain genes are relatively susceptible to diseases. The genes involved vary between different breeds.
- Hormones:Women who are postmenopausal or suffering from endocrine disorders have a higher prevalence rate. This may be due to the decreased secretion of estrogens and androgens in postmenopausal women. Studies have shown that androgens help maintain glandular cell health, control inflammation, and reduce the synthesis of autoimmune antibodies.
- Viral infection:Certain viral infections are thought to be involved in the development of Sjögren’s disease, such as African lymphotropic virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus 6, HIV and hepatitis B or C viruses.
