The day before yesterday, the 2009 China Academic Conference on Integrative Medicine and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Research was held in Hangzhou. Representatives of lupus patients from the province organized by the Rheumatology Department of Xinhua Hospital of the province were having a patient meeting on the sidelines. Among them was a new mother who had just given birth to a healthy baby boy for one month. In 2003, after a fracture, she accidentally found many red patches on the back side of her knee, and the disease was diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus only after she sought medical help from many places. They were prepared not to have children. ”I got pregnant by accident.” She said with a smile that the doctor told her that she could get pregnant if her condition was well controlled, so she tried and never thought she would get pregnant at once. At first, everything went well for Li Dachen until she got a cold when she was 4 months pregnant, and her condition suddenly worsened: her body was highly swollen and she had a lot of proteinuria. When she was 6 months pregnant, the situation became more and more serious, her family rushed her to the rheumatology department of the Second Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Zhejiang Xinhua Hospital), and only after more than 2 months of treatment did she finally give birth to her son. She happily told the reporter that the probability of hereditary transmission of lupus erythematosus to her son was relatively small. Not long ago, she sent her son to the provincial children’s hospital to have a genetic screening of more than 6,000 yuan, and the results were all good. Li Yongwei, director of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Zhejiang Xinhua Hospital, told reporters that SLE mostly occurs in women of childbearing age, with a male to female incidence ratio of 1:9, and more than 70% of the incidence is in women aged 20 to 30. In the past, it was generally believed that SLE was a contraindication to pregnancy, however, with the increase of young SLE patients, more and more people hope to improve their quality of life and can be mothers like normal people. Now, as long as you choose the appropriate time for pregnancy and termination of pregnancy, having a healthy baby is no longer a dream, even if you have SLE. Professor Fan Yongsheng, president of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and national famous Chinese medicine doctor, told reporters that SLE is caused by the disorder of autoimmune function and is a genetic defect, but there is a stimulating factor for the attack of the disease, such as hormonal changes, environmental changes and sun exposure, so if the signs of the disease can be detected at an early stage and regulated by traditional Chinese medicine, it can play a very good effect; even after the onset of the disease, The combination of Chinese and Western medicine can also be very effective in improving the therapeutic effect of hormonal drugs and reducing side effects.
