Due to the financial crisis, people’s work life pressure generally increased, overtime, stay up late has become a routine for many people, and even lifestyle. Recently, many hospitals dermatology patients, shingles (that is, the people say “waist dragon”) accounted for almost two percent. The folklore has it that the “waist wrapper” will kill you if you wrap it around your rib cage. Is this really true? The vast majority of shingles are related to staying up late and being tired. In the past, shingles was mostly seen in middle-aged and older people over 40 years old, but in the past two years, the incidence of shingles has become increasingly younger and you can often see shingles patients in their 20s. Herpes zoster is caused by the “varicella zoster virus”, which is usually contracted when the patient is a child, but does not develop due to the strong resistance at the time. The varicella zoster virus persists in the sensory nerves or cranial ganglia of the posterior root ganglion of the crista medullaris. The virus is generally “dormant” in most people, but can be “activated” by exertion, mental overload, late nights, alcoholism, cold, acute infections, wasting diseases, drug use, heavy antibiotics, and surgical trauma, among other factors. False dragons, not deadly “waist wrapping dragons” if wrapped around the rib cage will be deadly claims, no scientific basis. The scientific name of this disease should be called herpes zoster, it is more rapid onset, there will be pain in the early stage of the onset, and then the pain gradually increased, there are blisters on the skin, the skin damage is unilateral distribution along a peripheral nerve, usually not more than the body surface of the median line, much less in a circle. However, some patients with shingles are frightened by the rapid development of the blisters on the skin, which are like dragons and snakes wrapped around the body and are very painful. There are precursors to the onset of shingles The precursors to the onset of shingles vary from person to person, and each person develops the disease in a different area. For example, some people experience pain in the liver and gallbladder area before the onset of the disease, which is similar to the pain of gallstones, while others experience joint pain and toothache, etc. If it is in the left anterior chest, the premonitory symptoms are like angina-like sensations in the heart, so one would take medication for heart disease as a matter of course. The pain characteristics of shingles can be cut-like, pins and needles, over-an-electricity, burning pain, or dull pain, soreness, etc. Early consultation can reduce the sequelae In fact, timely treatment at the hospital after the appearance of the preliminary symptoms can effectively reduce the patient’s pain time. Patients can stop the virus from multiplying if they take antiviral medication as soon as the pain starts to appear. Early application of nerve-nourishing drugs can play a role in repairing the nerves that have been damaged by the virus, so as to avoid the sequelae of neuralgia. In this way, the pain will get better faster and there will not be many rashes on the skin. If shingles is left untreated or treated improperly, a few patients with poor health can still have residual neuralgia after the rash subsides. This pain can last for a long time and cause pain to the patient. Treatment: There are techniques to reduce the “dragon” 1. In the early stage of the disease, anti-viral drugs can be given in time to stop the reproduction of the virus, shorten the course of the disease and reduce neuralgia. 2, nerve nutrition: take vitamin B12, vitamin B1. 3, pain relief: can take oral analgesic tablets such as pain relief tablets. If the rash occurs in the trunk and the pain is severe, paracranial ganglion closure treatment can be done when painkillers are ineffective. 4.Corticosteroid: oral prednisone in the early stage of the lesion (within 3-5 days) is effective in reducing inflammation and pain and preventing posterior neuralgia. 5.Apply topical medication under the guidance of dermatologists. Early involvement of the pain department in the treatment of pain caused by this disease is also very important.
