Arthritis patients with acute inflammatory manifestations and periarticular bursitis are better treated with hormone therapy, while other arthritis patients are not recommended to use hormone. Arthritis can be categorized into osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, infectious arthritis, gouty arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis according to the cause of the disease. Currently, there is no complete cure for many types of arthritis, and symptomatic relief is the key. Treatment includes medication and surgery. Medications include analgesics such as diclofenac and glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone. Glucocorticosteroids are suitable for the treatment of acute inflammation and periarticular bursitis and tendonitis, and should not be injected repeatedly. The use of drugs should be under the guidance of medical professionals. Surgery can be chosen when internal medicine treatment is ineffective and serious joint dysfunction occurs. It is recommended that patients with arthritis go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions after clarifying the cause of the disease, and do not self-medicate.
