Bilateral sacroiliac arthritis refers to the inflammatory reaction of sacroiliac joints, which is categorized into primary and secondary, and the severity is related to the degree of wear and tear of the joints and the development of one’s own condition. In mild cases, there is only pain in the lumbar and hip area, while in severe cases, it can lead to severe wear and tear of the joints and impaired activities.
Primary sacroiliac arthritis is mostly seen in middle-aged and old people, and can be caused by genetic factors, chronic strain, joint degeneration, etc. It mainly causes lumbosacral pain, stiffness, aggravation after exertion, and alleviation after rest.
Secondary sacroiliac arthritis is common in young and middle-aged people, mostly caused by other diseases, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, congenital hip dysplasia, etc. Common diseases include staphylococcal infections, tuberculosis infections, psoriasis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
Secondary sacroiliac arthritis, in addition to lumbosacral pain, morning stiffness of the joints, restricted movement and other symptoms, is also accompanied by systemic symptoms caused by the original disease, if not controlled and treated in time, the condition will gradually aggravate.
Therefore, early diagnosis, early treatment and early intervention can block the further degeneration of sacroiliac joints, protect the function of sacroiliac joints, take targeted treatment, control the primary disease and delay the further development of joint inflammation.
