AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system, which normally defends the body against harmful invaders, mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells and tissues. This abnormal response can affect various organs and systems, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and tissue damage. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes are among the most common autoimmune diseases, each impacting the body in unique ways. These diseases are often complex, with both genetic and environmental factors playing a role in their development, and they require careful management to reduce symptoms and prevent progression.
​
Common Factors Contributing to Autoimmune Diseases:
-
Genetic Susceptibility
-
Hormonal Influences
-
Infections
-
Environmental Triggers
Managing autoimmune diseases often involves a multifaceted approach that includes medication, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, advanced therapies like stem cell treatments to help reset immune function. By focusing on both symptom relief and the underlying mechanisms of disease, healthcare providers aim to improve patients' quality of life and help them live with greater comfort and functionality. Advances in research continue to uncover new insights into autoimmune diseases, offering hope for more effective treatments and, potentially, preventative strategies in the future.
