Ankylosing spondylitis is not easy to treat, but the progression of the disease can be slowed down and the symptoms relieved through active and long-term persistent treatment. Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease. Common clinical symptoms include knee pain, low back pain, morning stiffness, etc. In more severe cases, joint ankylosis and deformity may occur. The disease cannot be cured at present, but active and long-term treatment can slow down the progression of the disease, restore the body’s functions and improve the quality of life. The main treatments for ankylosing spondylitis include medication and surgery. Medication can relieve symptoms and control the progression of the disease, while surgery is usually targeted at the parts of the body that are more affected by the function or where the deformity is the most serious, and may lead to disability if the patient does not receive standardized treatment in a timely manner. It is recommended that patients with ankylosing spondylitis go to the rheumatology and immunology department of a regular hospital in a timely manner for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
