Shi Wanjia brushed a certain tone and was drowsy
Suddenly yelled at on the phone
Frightened a wit
A middle-aged man in a dermatology ward
The pain was out of control and he was screaming
Watching him "circling" around his waist
A large chunk of shingles
It evoked the memories of everyone in the comment area
Messages have been made
Shingles is really painful
If shouting is the most direct way to manifest pain
Then this pain can be seen
Comparable to a baby

Neurological disorders that grow on the skin
Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University
Director of the Department of Dermatology and Chief Physician Ni Wenqiong
interpretation
herpes zoster
Commonly known as "waist-wrapped fire Dan"
"Snake with a waist"
Caused by infection with the "chickenpox-zoster" virus
It can occur all year round
Spring is more common!
Although the symptoms are on the skin
But it's actually a neurological disorder
It is a type that affects the nerves and skin
Common herpetic skin disease
According to research
More than 95% of the population
"Varicella-zoster virus" antibody
positive
imply
More than 95% of people have shingles
Potentially sick people
The following 7 types of people should pay special attention
People with decreased resistance throughout the body
Such as the elderly, long-term illness and weakness
and overworked people
Suffer from chronic infectious diseases, colds
or people with infectious diseases
Such as patients with upper respiratory tract infections
People with weakened immunity
Such as diabetes, tuberculosis,
Systemic lupus erythematosus, etc
and people who have had organ transplants
Trauma, burns,
Radiation therapy, poisoning patients
and some people who have been traumatized
Long-term use of steroid corticosteroids
Or people who use certain medications
Such as arsenic, antimony,
immunosuppressant
Patients with malignant tumors
Such as leukemia, lymphoma, cancer
AIDS patients

Likes to "take advantage of the void"
When our body's resistance is low
or tired, nervous,
When life is stressful, infected, cold
Shingles may be triggered
Occasional low-grade fever before the eruption,
general malaise,
Systemic symptoms such as loss of appetite
localized itching,
Burning, neuralgia, etc
A small number of patients develop a rash before the itching sensation occurs
The course of the disease is as follows
PhN is "postherpetic neuralgia"
Most herpes zoster has two distinct features:
1
Often unilateral
Generally does not exceed the midline of the body surface
2
The pain is paroxysmal
Patients often have specific pain
and local numbness and discharge of the skin
The dermatologist will administer oral medication to patients
Red light, wet compresses and other methods of treatment
3
Sequelae are ineffable "pain"
Lesions heal
It doesn't really mean "okay."
The most severe effects of shingles
It is the destruction of nerves
i.e. postherpetic neuralgia
This is complex neuropathic pain
Based on clinical experience
A variety of factors are associated with it
Such as advanced age
The site of onset is close to the head, face or upper extremities
There is a history of recurrent shingles
Herpes ranges larger
Herpes heals more slowly
Treatment is not timely
Pain appears earlier
Emotional anxiety depression, etc
The principles of treatment of postherpetic neuralgia are:
Early, sufficient,
Foot therapy and combination therapy
After standardized treatment
Some patients can be cured
However, some patients may have a longer course of illness
As short as a few weeks
Years long
There are also many people who are worried
People around me got shingles
Will it be contagious to yourself
Ni Wenqiong explains
Shingles is not highly contagious
As long as it is not the patient's vesicle fluid
Direct contact with the site of the lesion in a healthy person
It is not contagious
Nor does the herpes zoster virus
Spread through the air and gastrointestinal tract

Simple 4 tricks to prevent
Ni Wenqiong reminded
Prevention of shingles should enhance physical fitness
Improve your resistance to disease
Make the virus an unused opportunity
1
Pay attention to diet and exercise often
Regular exercise is conducive to strengthening physical fitness
The usual diet is very important
Eat more legumes
Eat more nutritious foods such as fish and lean meat
Can enhance resistance
2
Get a good night's sleep
The T cells in the body are responsible for fighting the virus
If you don't get enough sleep
The number of T cells decreases
Immune system function decreases
The probability of getting sick increases
3
Try to avoid "chickenpox"
Patients who have had chickenpox in the past
Will be more susceptible to shingles
So avoid contact with chickenpox patients
4
Over 50 years of age require special attention
Age is also an important factor in shingles
Almost all people over 50 years old
all are exposed to the risk of developing shingles
For yourself and your family
Not subject to such painful "torture"
Please be sure
Do a good job of "daily maintenance" of the body
