Doctor reminds: these 5 diseases can only be controlled, not cured, don't believe in remedies to aggravate the condition
There is a saying in China: go to the doctor in a hurry!
Yes, when a certain chronic disease finds itself, many patients will fall into panic and anxiety. They worry that the disease is out of control, that there will be more complications, and that they may die from it.
As a result, patients become more and more blind, and even believe in some small advertisements that they can be cured, and easily try various remedies that have not been scientifically proven.
As everyone knows, this approach is very dangerous. Because clinically, there are many diseases that cannot be cured clinically based on current medical technology and equipment, and can only be controlled and treated by drugs or other methods for a long time.
If the patient blindly believes in the so-called radical drugs and remedies, it will not only lose a lot of money, but also may affect the treatment effect and lead to aggravation of the disease!
For example, the following five diseases can only be controlled at present, but cannot be cured:
1. Essential hypertension
The so-called essential hypertension refers to the type of hypertension whose cause cannot be determined through the current level of medical development and examination methods .
After the onset of the disease, patients typically have symptoms of elevated blood pressure. However, because there is no way to completely cure essential hypertension in clinical practice , once the patient starts to take medicine, it is long-term and life-long;
2. Diabetes
The focus here is to mention type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The emergence of these two types of diabetes is related to genetics. Patients with type 1 diabetes can only rely on lifelong insulin injections for treatment because the function of the pancreatic islets has been completely damaged .
Although most type 2 diabetes does not require insulin injections, so far, there is no complete cure in clinical practice, so patients can only receive comprehensive treatment through long-term medication, diet and exercise adjustment;
3. Spondyloarthritis
This is not a specific disease, but a general term for a class of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, undifferentiated spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis , and more.
So far, the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritis has not been fully clarified, and there is no clinical cure. Once the disease is diagnosed, the patient can only be treated by drug intervention, and after skeletal deformity, surgery can only be used to improve body function;
4. Primary hyperlipidemia
The disease is clinically called hyperlipoproteinemia, which refers to excessive blood lipid levels and is the most common form of dyslipidemia.
The onset of primary hyperlipidemia is directly related to genetics , such as gene mutations in the next generation of receptor proteins, which will cause hyperlipidemia . So far, there is no complete cure for the disease, and patients can only control blood lipid levels with long-term medication;
5. Asthma
Asthma is a chronic allergic inflammation that causes bronchospasm, which causes the patient to become narrowed, and then experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.
So far, there is no clinical cure for asthma, and it can only be controlled through standardized treatment . Generally, after standard treatment, nearly 80% of asthma patients can stabilize their condition.
After 2-3 years of treatment, some patients are even able to get rid of drugs and return to normal life and work. However, since the "root of the disease" is still there, it cannot be said to be a complete cure.
In fact, in addition to the above five diseases, there are many diseases that cannot be completely cured. Take a small cold as an example, even after this treatment is completed, the next pathogen infection will lead to the reappearance of the cold.
Therefore, everyone must not blindly believe in some so-called radical cure advertisements or remedies, go to a regular hospital for examination, and treat according to the doctor's advice. This is the correct approach.
