Urticaria is what the people call "hives", is a common disease in dermatology, generally manifested as the sudden appearance of skin bumps of different sizes and shapes, red or pale white, higher than the skin, can be accompanied by intense itching, scratching will be fused into a piece. The pathogenesis of this disease is not very clear, one theory is that some of the triggers lead to the occurrence of the body's metamorphosis, mast cells release histamine to increase capillary permeability, plasma proteins from the capillary leakage into the dermis, urticaria.

And there are seven main triggers about its development:

1, drugs: aspirin analgesics, quinolone antibiotics, some vaccination, etc.

2, inhalants: some volatile gases, smoke, animal body hair, pollen, smoke, dust, etc.

3, food: eggs, fish, milk and other high-protein foods, beef and mutton hair, shrimp, shellfish, crabs and other seafood, chili, alcohol and other spicy things.

4, mental factors: too much pressure, mood swings, easily agitated tension, etc.

5, physical and chemical factors: cold stimulation of the skin, sunlight irradiation of the skin, etc.

6, infection factors: fungi, parasites, bacteria, etc., such as common tonsillitis due to streptococcal infection may induce urticaria.

7, other: some diseases such as blood diseases (leukemia), endocrine diseases (diabetes), and mast cell hyperplasia may also lead to urticaria.

Knowing the origins of this disease, in terms of prevention and treatment, if you are susceptible to urticaria, you should be careful to avoid the above triggers.

The symptoms usually disappear within a few hours or an hour of the attack and return to normal, without any major problems. However, in severe cases, acute urticaria may occur, causing laryngeal edema or anaphylactic shock should be taken seriously and may be life-threatening.

Welcome to Apricot Island for more interesting health facts!

Urticaria is essentially a dysfunction of the body's internal immune function, externally stimulated by various allergens.

Extrinsic allergens include those inhaled through the nose, eaten through the mouth, skin contact ...... etc.

But people live in this natural environment, inevitably will come into contact with these allergens, so go out and wear a mask, avoid seafood ..... It has become a "common sense" for people with urticaria.

Of course, proper protective measures and abstinence from food are necessary during hives flare-ups, but we tend to overlook the cause within our bodies - the immune factor.

Modern medicine treats urticaria with 2 generations of antihistamines, starting with one, and if that doesn't work, adding to 2, or increasing the dose, and then if that doesn't work, you have to consider adding hormones and other immunosuppressants.

Immune factors are very critical in the development of hives, which some doctors interpret as immune deficiency, when in fact the correct interpretation is immune imbalance: hyperimmunity in one pathway and hypoimmunity in another. Hormones suppress the hyper-immunity, giving relief from symptoms, but also making the low immunity even lower.

According to a professional organization in Europe, the overall effectiveness of Western medicine in treating urticaria is no more than 50%.

Chinese medicine recognizes urticaria from the theory of yin and yang, which is considered to be caused by the imbalance of yin and yang (isn't it a little bit like immune imbalance?). , especially the treatment of urticaria with scripture is even more effective in the clinic, and the efficacy of some Chinese medicine can reach 70% ----80%. The possible theory is that the two-way regulation effect of Chinese medicine inhibits the hyperactive part and elevates the low part, thus making the patient's physique improved, the balance of yin and yang restored, and the body healed itself.

There is no secret formula for treating urticaria with Chinese medicine, no special effect medicine, only careful identification, identify the patient's constitution, and prescribe the right medicine. So what I suggest you do is to find a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment.

Hello: There are many triggering factors of urticaria: food, drugs, some viral bacterial and fungal infections, pollen, mosquito bites, some physical factors such as environmental temperature, in addition to gastrointestinal diseases, metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders and mental factors can also be caused. Urticaria is mainly due to low immunity, dysfunction and disorder of the body, there are some blood toxins and blood heat symptoms in the body. The stagnation in the body and the stimulation of external factors will be injected into the epidermis, leading to the emergence of this phenomenon. Suggestion:

At present, clinical medicine commonly used anti-allergy probiotics [Shu Minuo] can reduce serum IgE allergy antibodies, adjust the allergic body, enhance immunity; prevent the recurrence of allergic reactions, so as to achieve a complete change in the allergic body, through the later stage of immune repair and consolidation, to achieve a complete cure of urticaria without recurrence of the effect.

Precautions: 1, in daily life, pay attention to eat less spicy food and stimulating food. 2, keep in a happy mood, learn to self-regulation, happy life. 3, quit bad habits, such as smoking, drinking, staying up all night and so on. 4, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and develop the habit of defecation every day. I wish you a speedy recovery!

The occurrence of urticaria is related to many factors, such as some food factors, inhalant factors, physical diseases, mental and neurological factors, and so on, so the cause of this disease is more complex.

I went to a bath in Tianjin at the end of 2009 for a back rub, used sea salt and fire cupping, and went out into the cold wind. The next day after I got home, I had a red clammy skin, and it disappeared for a while, and then I had it again, and then I was told that it was hives. After returning to the south, the injection of puerarin, when playing a moment disappeared, not long after the out again, itchy. After eating more than twenty Chinese medicine, also do not see good. Simply, the fire regardless. I don't know how there is no more. This year's National Day to Beijing, the newly installed room at noon to close the eyes of a cold cold. This time the cold is more serious. The original cold does not take medicine two or three days well, this time to take medicine also can not. After going home to eat a few mouthfuls of deep-sea pickled fish, the night found on the legs of the red mass is not big, once again even a few. I think what the hell yo, after a hives relapse, my son bought two boxes of medicine, I ate twice, and did not eat, and did not re-emerge, this red dots now gradually disappeared. Hey, really annoying. I feel that hives are very cold wind related. And eat a little connection is not big.

Many people have hives for which they can't find a cause, and anyway, it's not easy to say what the exact cause is, since it's a combination of immune, environmental, and genetic factors that cause hives. This is also the current consensus. If we can identify the cause, we can often cure it, but the fact is that we can't cure hives.

I have a friend, once ate a meal of lobster, 30 minutes immediately after the occurrence of urticaria, the whole body with a wind ball, rash, itching unbearable, the effect of medicine is not good, had to go to the hospital with intravenous hormones, anti-allergy drugs to pressure down, he never dared to eat lobster again. This case seems likely to be the problem of lobster, but not necessarily, it may be caused by other dishes that night, may also be caused by some seasonings. To be clear is not the cause of lobster, find a chance to eat a lobster again, if the hives still occur, then the lobster is the most suspicious.

Others are temperature sensitive and get hives at the touch of cold water and can't wash dishes at all or can only use hot water, I have a friend who has this problem and of course, it was a great excuse for him to buy a dishwasher.

Many people who have hives are not able to find the cause of the disease, went to the hospital to do allergen testing, trying to find out the specific cause of the disease, but the results of this allergen test should be looked at dialectically, it does not mean that a positive means that it must be the cause of hives, in addition, the type of substances tested is limited, and our daily life can be exposed to a lot of substances, there are many substances are not detected, it does not mean that we are not allergic to, does not mean that they do not cause hives, right? mean they don't cause hives, right?

In any case, if the cause of urticaria can be identified, then it is wisest to avoid exposure as much as possible. Then is the drug treatment, at present the most commonly used drugs is antihistamine, in fact, is the anti-allergy drugs, such as loratadine, diclofenac, cetirizine, levocetirizine, ibastine, ketotifen and so on. The effect is good, the price is expensive and cheap, currently preferred loratadine, cetirizine these drugs, because of good efficacy, and low adverse reactions. And ketotifen, paracetamol, this kind of drug effect is also very good, but will lead to drowsiness, dry mouth and other adverse reactions, less used, especially for people who want to drive, open the airplane is more inapplicable, used for children, the elderly should also be careful.

I had hives once many years ago and I think it was wet and toxic. Went to the hospital many times, injections, medication, body rubs, waiting for the rash to go down , but not three or two days and then relapsed, re-growth.

Body spots, all day long clothes to cover, afraid to let people see, wear and tear ulcers, but also pain. Not only to the body, to the heart of the pressure caused by the disturbance is very big.

Then one time, I got a very simple remedy and kept taking it myself for more than 20 days almost a month, and I was fine.

Urticaria is a reaction of the body itself to external stimuli. It manifests itself as a reaction to the dilation of small blood vessels in the mucous membranes that have become more permeable. It is essentially the production or elimination of free radicals or toxins from the body.

In our daily life, we eat and drink and inevitably come into contact with different allergens, and when the body starts to have an immune response, hives come out. Nowadays, doctors usually recommend the use of medication because it works fast, and the doctor is content to dismiss you when he sees that you are well. The truth of the matter is that you will be afflicted with hives over and over again.

Here I suggest that we should reasonably adopt the views of all users, the human body healing power is the basis of clinical treatment, to maintain a healthy body is the basis of everyone's life. Normally, you can add the appropriate anti-allergy probiotic Schmino to regulate the seriousness, the key is still daily exercise and diet, do not eat spicy fish and meat, you can reduce the allergy symptoms to a greater extent.

Urticaria is a very common disease in dermatology. It is a limited edematous reaction caused by the dilation of small blood vessels in the skin and mucous membranes, which manifests itself as red or pale-white bumps on the skin, accompanied by intense itching. The red or pale-white color of the skin, accompanied by intense itching, usually subsides in 24 hours, but is prone to recurrent attacks, which simply means that it starts and stops, and comes and goes. In some cases, the condition may last for months or even longer.

The most common question asked of hives patients encountered is ""What causes this disease? "". Of course, most patients are unable to clearly identify the cause of the disease, especially in chronic urticaria.

All that can be said is that the causes of urticaria are complex and may be related to the following factors:

1. Food (including food additives, flavorings, spices, preservatives, etc.);
2. Inhalants: e.g. pollen, animal dander, dust, feathers, etc;
3. Infectious factors: including bacterial infections (common acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis, urinary tract infections, gingivitis), viral infections, parasitic infections;
4. Drugs: penicillin, sulfa, blood products, etc;
5. Internal medicine diseases: systemic lupus erythematosus, hyperthyroidism, gastritis, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid rheumatism, tumors, etc;
6. Genetic factors;
7. Mental factors: e.g., nervousness, emotional impulsiveness;
8. Certain gynecological disorders: e.g. menstruation, pregnancy, etc;
9. Physical factors: e.g. heat and cold changes, sunlight, mechanical stimulation, exercise, etc;
10. Other unknown factors;

The etiology of urticaria is complex, but easy to diagnose. Its pathogenesis is simply due to mast cell activation and degranulation, releasing histamine, cytokines, inflammatory mediators, etc., which in turn causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and dermal edema, i.e., the formation of a windswept mass seen with the naked eye. Mast cell activation is usually triggered by an immune response, but rarely by a non-immune response.

I have gone to see the dermatologist, before the measles, measles causes four categories, the doctor gave me their own judgment analysis, my own initial judgment that I think I am because of gastrointestinal problems coupled with the emotions and poor physical quality caused by the doctor said to give me the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine to eat a course of treatment, I did not take the medicine because I think that it is too expensive, at that time, there is not so much money.

Later went back to ask the teacher in a group, continue to judge and analyze my pathology, and then went to get a week of medicine, in the drugstore directly boiled to drink, slowly and usually more soaked in herbal water to drink, that is, some of the herbs that activate the blood and replenish the qi, and slowly change their mentality, coupled with occasional exercise, and then it is good!

No recurrence, the mood is very key, learn to get along with yourself, usually keep the mood happy, even if itchy, but also to calm down, I have an itch to lie down and sleep, even if you can not sleep, but also to do something you like!

This also lasted more than a year, I feel very lucky, then asked the teacher in the group directly to their own judgment to get their own medication, I now think about it and do not feel regret, thank you very much, something is not what others say is what, you need to judge yourself, combined with their own actual situation to decide, this is very important!

More of their own Baidu more understanding of the causes of the original cause, more to analyze and explore other people's cases, although they are not a doctor, but this will learn to help their own situation, the doctor is really not omnipotent, other people's situation is not just the same as you, here to tell you, do not blindly seek medical help!

Always analyze the cause of your illness before making a decision, even the best doctor doesn't know your body as well as you do, I wish you a speedy recovery!
