For some patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura, it is still difficult to control the condition after taking medicine, the symptoms continue to worsen, and new red spots continue to appear, which makes them feel troubled and anxious. This article will explore what can lead to this phenomenon and offer some suggestions to help patients better manage Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
First of all, we need to make it clear that Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a complex immune disease whose pathogenesis is very different from infectious diseases or trauma. Therefore, treatment for Henoch-Schönlein purpura requires more patience and fine tuning. People who have been taking medication but are unable to control their condition usually reflect several potential problems:
First of all, is it symptomatic? Was the type and severity of Henoch-Schönlein purpura accurately diagnosed during treatment? There are different subtypes of Henoch-Schönlein purpura, and treatment varies from individual patient to patient. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that the doctor correctly diagnoses and classifies.
Secondly, is the current medication accurate? Are the drugs used during treatment appropriate for the patient's condition? Rational drug selection is critical to controlling the condition. Certain medications may be more effective in certain types of Henoch-Schönlein purpura and therefore require professional advice and monitoring by a doctor.
Third, is the current treatment effective? Is the treatment going according to plan? Following your doctor's instructions, taking your medication on time, and following up regularly are key steps to ensure effective treatment. If the drug is not taken on time, the effect of treatment may be affected.
Fourth, is the current disease progressing slowly? It is important to monitor the progression of the condition. If the condition persists, even with medical therapy, treatment may need to be reassessed, including increasing the dose of the drug or changing the treatment.
Fifth, are there fewer new red dots? Treatment effectiveness can not only be assessed by a reduction in the number of red dots, but it is a key indicator. If new red spots continue to appear, treatment may need to be reassessed.
Most importantly, when the condition deteriorates rapidly and symptoms are not controlled, it may be due to the fact that the autoimmune disorder has not been controlled, the vascular endotoxin has increased dramatically, and the degree of vascular destruction has increased. In such cases, urgent medical intervention needs to be sought and more potent treatments may be required.
【Tips】The treatment of Henoch-Schönlein purpura needs to be finely adjusted, and close cooperation between the patient and the doctor is essential. If you've been taking medication and you're having trouble managing your condition, don't get frustrated, but discuss the progression with your doctor to make sure you're getting the best treatment possible. Only after the source problem is properly solved and the treatment method is accurately standardized can Henoch-Schönlein purpura be better controlled and the patient's pain and anxiety reduced.
