Pay attention to 5 key points every day

As for the daily care of lupus erythematosus, the doctor said that it is necessary to pay attention to the five key points of sun protection, calcium supplementation, no supplementation, urine status, and moderate rest.

It is also urged that if patients want to supplement additional nutritional supplements, remember to ask their attending physicians.

●Sun protection:

Ultraviolet rays can induce lupus erythematosus, which may make the disease worse. Remember to do sun protection when going out.

●Calcium supplementation:

Patients are prone to calcium loss due to less sun exposure and lack of exercise. They can take in more calcium-rich foods, including dairy products, small dried fish and soy foods.

●Do not take supplements:

Lupus erythematosus is caused by abnormal immune function, not lack of immunity. If you take so-called supplements that can increase immunity, such as ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, it may activate abnormal immune cells and make the disease more likely to worsen.

●Pay attention to the condition of urine:

This disease easily invades the kidneys and causes lupus nephritis. If the urine color becomes dark, the urine foams, frequent urination at night, hematuria, or edema of the feet and eyes, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.

●Moderate rest:

Stress is one of the inducing factors of lupus erythematosus. Moderate rest and timely release of stress can help reduce the deterioration of the disease.
