On the one hand, awareness of lifestyle diseases has increased manifold, on the other hand, the risk of many diseases like enucleating spondylitis (AS) is also increasing rapidly due to lack of awareness. The result is that one in every 100 in the country is suffering from this disease. Enucleating spondylitis is known as chronic inflammation of joints, spine and hip.
Dr. Sonal Mehra, consultant at the Department of Urmetology at the hospital, says, "Enchanting spondylitis is more common in men than women. One in every 100 adults in India is a victim of this disease and these cases are increasing rapidly. This disease has been found to be more common among young people of less than 40 years of age and the main causes include inactive lifestyle, the wrong way to sit, stress, excessive pressure of work. This often leads to a very serious form of pain.
4 million people are suffering from this disease
Dr. Mehra said, "About 40 lakh people in India are suffering from this disease. This disease is common in young people nowadays and it is affecting them in the most useful years of life. In this disease, the patient feels very pain and stiffness in the lower back and the back of the neck.
Lack of awareness of disease
The earliest treatment of this disease is very important. About this, Dr Saurabh Rawal, consultant of Spine Surgery Department at Jp Hospital, said, "Even today, there is a lack of awareness about the disease in the public as well as in the doctors, due to which the disease is not detected on time. Finds After diagnosing the disease, it is important to start the right treatment of the patient as soon as possible, the therapy with drugs also plays an important role in it.
The disease affects the joints
Enclosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, which mainly affects the hips, buttocks and spinal joints. In 40% of cases it can affect other couples, such as shoulders, ribs, knees and small joints of hands and feet. Occasionally it can affect its eyes and in very rare cases on the heart and lungs. In its later stages, it may be difficult for the patient to walk and do daily work.
