What is shingles?
There is a folk saying
“The snake wraps around its waist and screams in pain”
“Snake wrapping around the waist”
is the medical term for herpes zoster
according to the patient’s description
the pain of herpes zoster
It seems like a knife cut, fire, electric shock, whiplash
even if the herpes disappears
many patients’ pain will continue
As short as a month, as long as decades
so
it is even called the “immortal cancer”
Herpes zoster
is a viral infection
the culprit of this disease
is varicella zoster Herpes virus
This virus reacts with the body
It can cause two diseases
One is chickenpox
one is shingles
When you are young, your body is not immune to this virus, and chickenpox will appear. Our immune system responds and destroys the virus, but the virus is so subtle that it hides in our dorsal root ganglia.
Once there is a loophole in the body’s anti-epidemic system, the latent virus will be activated, it will multiply and expand, and then destroy this Nerves, causing ganglia inflammation and necrosis, and abnormal discharge, pain occurs.
Because the pain comes directly from the damaged nerve, the patient will feel very unbearable neuralgia. Even if the blisters are healed, the pain will continue for a long time, a few months in the short term, years in the long term, or even a lifetime. This is postherpetic neuralgia.
If your immune system is strong enough and your nerves are repaired well, you will no longer feel pain. As the age increases, the immune system ages, especially if the treatment is not timely, which causes the virus to damage the nerves to a very serious degree. The repair process after the virus destroys the nerves is much slower than the skin repair process, so your skin is good, but The pain in the nerve can last for a long time, which is called postherpetic neuralgia. So if you find the signs of shingles disease, it is necessary to treat it in time to avoid short pains and long pains.
Many netizens described themselves
feelings of having this disease
Chang Jianmin, director of the Department of Dermatology of Beijing Hospital, said: “50 Generally speaking, one-third of people over 10 years old will get herpes zoster, so herpes zoster is a common disease of the elderly. To prevent the occurrence of herpes zoster, the first is to improve immunity, and the second is to improve immunity. The shingles vaccine is a very important measure for middle-aged and elderly people.”
