Ankylosing spondylitis complications

Ankylosing spondylitis complications:

Complications of ankylosing spondylitis usually include iridocyclitis, osteoporosis, fractures, anemia, aortic regurgitation, etc.

1. Iridocyclitis:

Long-term ankylosing spondylitis may also lead to excessive immune response in the body, causing iridocyclitis, which can easily lead to iris vasodilation, causing symptoms such as pain, photophobia, and vision loss. Under the guidance of a doctor, take oral cyclosporine soft capsules, methotrexate tablets, azathioprine tablets and other drugs.

2. Osteoporosis:

During the disease, the body releases a large number of inflammatory factors, which may damage bone tissue and lead to osteoporosis. Usually, you can take Xianlinggubao capsules, Gusongbao granules, Gushukang granules and other drugs orally under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Fracture:

When the patient's bone tissue is damaged, the quality of the bone will decrease, and it is easy to fracture when it is stimulated by the outside world. It can usually be treated by closed reduction and internal fixation, open reduction and internal fixation, etc.

4. Anemia

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic progressive inflammation of the spine. The cause of this disease may be related to genetic factors or infectious factors. After the disease occurs, it may lead to excessive destruction of red blood cells, which in turn leads to anemia. Usually, you can take oral medications such as ferrous sulfate tablets, ferrous fumarate granules, and ferrous succinate tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

5. Aortic regurgitation:

Long-term inflammation in the body may also cause the aortic wall to thicken and stiffen, leading to incomplete closure of the aortic valve. This can be treated by aortic valve replacement, aortic valve repair, etc.

People with physical illnesses should maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's intervention to avoid delays that may lead to worsening of disease symptoms and serious negative effects on health.
