What should I do to prevent lupus erythematosus from recurring?

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent systemic multi-organ involvement
.
Its severity is self-evident, so it brings a lot of psychological pressure
to lupus erythematosus patients.

Clinically, the treatment goals of SLE are to control disease activity, achieve minimum disease activity, achieve long-term disease stability, and reduce recurrence
.
To achieve this goal, doctors and patients need to work together
.
What the doctor should do is to accurately evaluate the patient's condition, select the appropriate drug, and conduct regular follow-up of the patient, which only requires the cooperation of our patients
.
There are some things that need to be done by the patients themselves, but may be because they are very trivial, seemingly insignificant, often ignored by patients, today we will fry a cold rice, let's talk about it, for lupus patients themselves, in the prevention of lupus recurrence, aggravation, can do something
.

Doctors are well aware that certain medications can precipitate or worsen lupus erythematosus, and people with SLE should be aware
of this.

Chinese medicine ginseng, American ginseng, gynostemma, etc.
may improve the body's humoral immunity; Bakuchiol, solitary life, comfrey, purple duckweed, tribulus terrestris, white pygmy, etc.
, patients will enhance photosensitivity after taking it; Purple river car, royal jelly, etc
.
may increase estrogen levels in the human body.
All of the above are related to the intermediate links of SLE and may induce or aggravate SLE
.
There are also some traditional Chinese medicines that will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and when SLE disease itself has caused liver and kidney function to decline, it is also not recommended to use, such as gansui, mutong, chuanxizi, eucommia, peilan, etc
.
In western medicine, propranolol, hydralazine, methiopyrimidine, penicillin, D-penicillamine, phenytoin, isoniazid, streptomycin, gold preparations, etc.
should be avoided
.

The 2020 Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus pointed out that certain cosmetics may induce or aggravate systemic lupus erythematosus, and patients should avoid contact with hair dye, eyebrow tattoos, etc
.
However, most of the SLE patients are women who love beauty by nature, and it seems that they can only endure the pain of cutting their love for their own health
.

Sun protection is very important for SLE patients, going out to play umbrellas, applying sun protection can effectively avoid ultraviolet rays to stimulate the skin, reduce the patient's skin inflammation, quietly tell you, effective sun protection can slow down skin aging, which is also a compensation for not being able to dye hair and tattoo eyebrows
.

Keeping a good mood is not the most useful nonsense, doctors say that this sentence is supported
by research data.
Studies have shown that appropriate exercise and psychological intervention can effectively reduce the depression and mental stress state of patients; If SLE patients smoke, quitting smoking can help reduce the severity of the condition, of course, even healthy people we strongly recommend quitting smoking!

Develop a healthy lifestyle, diet moderation: dog meat, mutton, venison, donkey meat, etc.
, Chinese medicine believes that its sexual temperature, and most patients with systemic lupus erythematosus belong to Yin deficiency internal heat certificate, eating these may aggravate internal heat, not suitable for consumption; However, patients should supplement some high-quality protein, such as beef, lean pork, fish, shrimp, etc
.

Because SLE patients take more hormones, and hormones are easy to cause hypertension and hyperlipidemia, patients should control the intake of salt, fat and cholesterol, such as pickled products, fatty meat, egg yolks, pig brain (high cholesterol), etc
.
Spinach can increase proteinuria and casts of lupus nephritis, soy products will increase the burden of lupus nephritis, when SLE has affected the kidneys, should be eaten
with caution.
If the condition is well controlled and the kidneys are not involved, you can eat with confidence
.
There are also some vegetables that induce or aggravate light allergy in SLE patients, such as coriander and celery, which should be eaten
less.
