What disease can damage your health and destroy your psychological defenses?
Presumably many people will think of skin diseases for the first time, after all, skin diseases appear on the surface of the body, and some skin diseases seem to be painless and itchy after the onset of the disease, but it will have special symptoms on the skin, such as vitiligo is one of them.
After the onset of the disease, abnormal white patches may appear on the patient's limbs, face, and genital organs.
After these plaques appear, the patient does not feel anything, but they will gradually become larger, which seriously affects the patient's normal life, social interaction, and even the resulting feeling of inferiority. So, when we talk about vitiligo, we almost always talk about discoloration. So the question is, what kind of disease is vitiligo, and is it related to age?
First of all, the so-called vitiligo is actually a skin pigmentation disease, which is a acquired localized or generalized lesion. Due to the disappearance of the function of the patient's skin melanocytes, the onset of the disease is caused.
So far, the pathogenesis mechanism of vitiligo has not been fully defined, there is no obvious difference in the sex and age of its onset, and it may occur at all ages. However, the pathogenesis of vitiligo patients of different ages is different, and it is necessary to prevent it in advance:
1. Childhood
At this stage, it is actually the golden period of human body growth and development, but this stage is also a period when diseases are easy to wait for opportunities.
The reason for this is that children's immunity is not yet fully developed, and the resistance is relatively weak. If the diet and nutrition and exercise amount are not followed up, it will further weaken the immune function, lead to immune dysfunction, and increase the probability of vitiligo.
Therefore, children need to maintain a regular diet and living habits, balance nutrition, and take children to participate in some outdoor sports to enhance resistance;
2. Youth and middle age
A large number of studies have shown that mental factors and the incidence of vitiligo are also closely related. Many young patients have experienced trauma in the early stages of onset or skin lesion development, or have long-term excessive mental stress, depression or depression.
Therefore, if you want to prevent vitiligo in your youth, learn to evacuate your personal emotions, maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude, and then cooperate with diet and life adjustments, it is a feasible way to prevent vitiligo.
In addition, long-term direct ultraviolet rays, sun exposure is also one of the reasons for promoting vitiligo, in life we should do a good job of various protective work;
3. Old age
After entering the old age, all organs of the body will gradually age, the function will decrease, the immune function will become worse and worse, and it is easy to be found by various diseases.
And if you want to do a good job of prevention, what the elderly can do is to regularly carry out appropriate physical activities, such as tai chi, walking, jogging, etc., which are all good methods.
In addition, the elderly should also be actively treated after the emergence of primary disease, such as three highs and atherosclerosis.
Written at the end: every age should be wary of the emergence of vitiligo, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, so far, the pathogenesis of vitiligo has not been fully clear, so we can only start from life prevention, such as improving diet, actively playing sports, avoiding staying up late for a long time, choosing loose and comfortable clothing, doing a good job of sun protection and so on.
