Myth 1: Urticaria is caused by decreased immunity.
Immunity and resistance are the simplest understanding of the pathogenesis of many diseases. Many diseases are labeled as low immunity, and urticaria is no exception. The etiology of urticaria is complex, and the pathogenesis is mainly abnormal activation of mast cells, which has nothing to do with immunity. If we have to talk about the immune system, urticaria is more of a disorder or imbalance of the immune system to some extent, and there is no decline in immunity or resistance. The immunity and resistance of patients with urticaria are normal, so patients are not prone to repeated colds or other infectious diseases related to decreased immunity. Some doctors are also influenced by patients' routines or ulterior motives, and like to prescribe so-called immune-enhancing drugs such as thymosin or BCG for urticaria patients. At present, there is no evidence to support the effectiveness of using these drugs, and the official guidelines at home and abroad have never recommended the use of such drugs to treat urticaria.
Myth 2: Urticaria = Allergy
Urticaria has been introduced as a typical disease of allergic reaction (type I hypersensitivity) in medical textbooks. Many of them are not dermatologists, or dermatologists who have no in-depth research on urticaria, or the inertia thinking in previous textbooks, subconsciously think that urticaria is caused by allergies. Even doctors are like this, so you can imagine what patients will think. Although allergy is a very important cause of urticaria, it is not the only cause. It was found that less than one third of patients in acute urticaria were definitely related to allergies, and the rest of acute urticaria were not related to most chronic spontaneous urticaria and allergies. The results of allergen testing and screening can not correspond to the symptoms of chronic spontaneous urticaria, but physical urticaria accounts for a large part of chronic urticaria, which has nothing to do with allergies. So urticaria is not completely equal to allergy, and allergy is just one of many pathogenic factors of urticaria. Most urticaria has little to do with allergies, but some acute urticaria is caused by allergies.
Myth 3: Urticaria is contagious.
Because the rash of urticaria is characterized by a large number of wheals and papules, most people will be very scared when they see it, and they will unconsciously worry about whether such a rash will be contagious. In fact, it is not contagious! # Window of Weibo #
Myth 4: You can't have children with urticaria.
It may be because of the strange temperament of urticaria, the horrible wheal rash, the problem of taking medicine and the endless recurrence. Many school-age women and even men panic when considering having children. In fact, urticaria itself will not affect the health of reproductive system, nor will it affect fertility, so you can rest assured that you are pregnant. Unless it is urticaria with very serious symptoms or refractory symptoms, and you are taking some drugs that may affect the safety of pregnancy, such as high-dose hormones and immunosuppressants, you need to avoid it. From the point of view of sociology and physiology, when it is most urgent to consider the problem of fertility, it happens to encounter chronic urticaria, and the course of this disease is different. If you wait until the disease is completely cured before giving birth, you may miss the best reproductive period. Therefore, there is no need to upset the plan because of this disease. With the guidance and help of professional doctors, you can safely realize your dream of being a parent.
Myth 5: Urticaria is hereditary.
Dermatologists know that the relationship between urticaria and heredity is not strong, especially acute urticaria's and chronic spontaneous urticaria, which is related to the changes of acquired environment and physical state. A few recurrent angioedema and some physical urticaria, such as cold urticaria, cholinergic urticaria and delayed stress urticaria, are more related to heredity, but they are also determined by multiple genes. If you are unfortunate enough to get these rare types of urticaria, you don't need to worry too much, because it doesn't mean that your offspring will definitely appear, but it only means that they are more likely to get the same disease as you.
After recognizing these misunderstandings about urticaria, let's learn about the effective and good methods to treat urticaria. Although urticaria is not a skin disease that can be easily eradicated, it is not without the rule of law. The Chinese Society of Immunology has been circulating a good method to treat urticaria, Xinminkang anti-allergic probiotic therapy.
The cause of urticaria is very complicated. If you use traditional control methods and treatments, such as hormones, antihistamines, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc., it will be mild for a while and will be aggravated for a while, which will also have a great impact on children's health. Long-term use will cause greater damage to liver and kidney. Hormone ointment, such as dexamethasone ointment and Fu Relaxation, is generally used for external use. Although it can quickly control skin allergic symptoms, once it is stopped, allergic symptoms will recur. Long-term use of hormone ointment will make the skin lose its normal defense and self-protection ability, and eventually lead to hormone-dependent dermatitis. At present, the treatment of urticaria mainly includes removing inducing factors, adjusting self-allergic constitution, supplementing anti-allergic probiotic Xinmin Kang to improve allergic symptoms, adjusting allergic constitution and shortening the treatment cycle of urticaria.
Xinminkang, an antiallergic probiotic, can participate in IgE-mediated immune allergic reaction. Th 1 immunoregulates the secretion of interleukin (IL- 12) after human dendritic cells are co-cultured with antiallergic probiotics, thus screening antiallergic probiotic strains with antiallergic ability. Xinminkang can use active and non-pathogenic microorganisms to improve the ecological balance of intestinal microorganisms, the largest immune organ of human body, and further promote the immune tolerance function. Lactobacillus salivarius has the international patent certification for reducing serum IgE allergic antibody. After continuous supplementation for more than three months, the concentration of IgE in the body is reduced, so that allergens cannot bind with IgE antibodies in the body, and a series of allergic biochemical reactions no longer occur.
