What causes lupus?
Although the exact reasons of lupus are still a matter of
anonymity, experts believe that genetic, environmental and hormonal factors
combine together and cause the condition. Fortunately, this disease is not
contagious nor it is sexually transmitted. There are some external factors that
trigger the appearance of the inflammation such as: over exposure for
ultraviolet rays or taking certain drugs. Infection, trauma, stress, surgeries, Allergic Reaction Rash on Face and hormones may also trigger lupus.
Who is most likely to get infected?
Although both sexes are prone to get infected, it’s females
who are more vulnerable to get this inflammation. This disease happens at any
age, especially between the ages of 15 and 44 years. Medically speaking, it’s
said that females’ sexual hormones ‘Estrogen’ affect the immune system in a way
that makes females more vulnerable.
What is the outlook for people with lupus?
So far, there is no cure for lupus rash that can fight it
forever. Yet, every year, scientists come up with promising findings every
year, and there is growing optimism that experts in this field will finally
come up with medicines that are less toxic.
Fortunately, developed methods of detecting, diagnosing, treating
and monitoring lupus have enabled patients and doctors to more effectively
manage and live with this chronic disease. 23 years ago, only 40% of people
with lupus rash were expected to live. Nowadays, people with rash can look
forward to a normal life.
