Types of Rheumatic disease
Arthritis
Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation and damage in the joints where two bones meet. As we age, wear and tear can lead to arthritis, but certain injuries and health issues can also trigger it. Arthritis can affect any joint .
Ankylosing Spondylitis
It is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that primarily targets the spine, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
While Ankylosing Spondylitis primarily affects the lower back early in the disease, it can also involve the neck, hips, shoulders, and even organs like the eyes and intestines.
Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches. PsA primarily affects the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness, but it can also affect the skin and nails.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia, often referred to as soft tissue rheumatism, is a chronic condition that affects the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the body. It is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and a variety of other symptoms that can significantly impact daily life. If you’re experiencing chronic pain, poor sleep, or difficulty concentrating, seeking fibromyalgia treatment in Mumbai could be the key to improving your quality of life.
Gout
Gout is a common and complex form of arthritis that affects many individuals worldwide. Characterized by sudden, intense attacks of pain, swelling, and redness, gout primarily affects the joints, especially the big toe. If you’re experiencing severe joint pain or swelling, seeking gout treatment in Mumbai can help you manage your symptoms, reduce pain, and prevent future flare-ups.
Post-viral arthritis
Post-viral arthritis is a condition that occurs after an individual has experienced a viral infection. This form of arthritis is typically self-limiting and involves joint pain and inflammation. While the virus itself might be cleared from the body, the inflammation caused by the immune system’s response can linger, affecting the joints and causing discomfort.
Lupus
Lupus, also known as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), is a chronic autoimmune disease that occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, causing widespread inflammation. This disease can affect various organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and lungs, leading to potentially serious complications.
Scleroderma
Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease that causes the skin and connective tissues to become thick and hard. It can also affect internal organs like the heart, lungs, kidneys, and digestive system. This happens because the body produces too much collagen, a protein that provides structure to the skin and organs.
Sjogren’s Syndrome
Sjogren’s Syndrome is a long-term autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own moisture-producing glands. This mainly affects the tear and saliva glands, leading to dryness in the eyes and mouth. In some cases, it can also impact other parts of the body, such as joints, skin, and internal organs.
