It is understood that lupus erythematosus is a common chronic, easy to recur autoimmune disease, the cause of the onset is not clear, but it is related to a variety of factors, including environment, autoimmunity, genetics, hormone levels, etc., women of childbearing age are more common and have familial aggregation, there are obvious clinical manifestations after the onset of the disease, and multiple organs of the whole body may be implicated, and the symptoms are complex and diverse. It is necessary to understand what the causes of lupus erythematosus are and prevent it correctly.
1. Genetic factors
The increasing number of people developing lupus erythematosus may be related to genetic factors. Many diseases in life have a genetic risk, there may be family clustering, the patient's relatives have a higher prevalence than the general population, and the probability of identical twins is higher than that of fraternal twins, so it reflects that the incidence of lupus erythematosus and genetics are closely related, and regular check-ups are required to take preventive measures.
2. Pathogen infection
Lupus erythematosus is related to environmental factors, and the persistent infection of certain pathogenic microorganisms will cause the immune system to produce autoantibodies, so it will later develop into lupus erythematosus, among which Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis C virus, etc. may cause lupus erythematosus. It is necessary to strengthen the resistance and improve the body's ability to fight germs in order to prevent the invasion of certain pathogenic microorganisms from causing diseases.
3. Chemical damage
The injury of certain chemicals may act as a foreign antigen to activate the body's immune system, produce antibodies, and thus cause tissue damage, many of which drugs can cause lupus erythematosus, including penicillamine, isoniazid, quinidine, procainamide, hydralazine, etc., before using these drugs to understand whether the body is adapting, it is best to consult a doctor first.
4. Hormone levels
Changes in the body's hormone levels have also been linked to the prevalence of lupus erythematosus, most of which occur in women of childbearing age, and can be exacerbated by pregnancy or taking certain estrogen-containing medications. Relevant experiments have found that the effect of estrogen will lead to the appearance or deterioration of such diseases, so it is said that the human body's estrogen level is closely related to the appearance of the disease, and it is necessary to understand endocrine regulation to maintain the normal hormone level.
5. Sunlight exposure
Studies have found that patients with lupus erythematosus often develop the disease after prolonged exposure to the sun, so it can be considered that the occurrence of the disease is related to ultraviolet rays damaging the skin. If this is the case, you should take sun protection measures, and there is no problem with proper exposure to the sun, but you should not be exposed to the sun. If lupus erythematosus is already developing, it is even more important to avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.
