Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease and belongs to rheumatism and immune disease. The main lesions are the sacroiliac joint, spine, and peripheral joints. The disease is accompanied by extra-articular manifestations such as eye, lung, intestine, and cardiovascular lesions of varying degrees.

Although the incidence of ankylosing spondylitis in women is smaller than that in men, some women may have more severe symptoms.
The acquired factors that induce ankylosing spondylitis may not directly lead to ankylosing spondylitis, but may induce ankylosing spondylitis, or make the patient's condition more serious. Such as staying up late for a long time, continuing to be highly nervous, living in high temperatures and humid environments, and chronic strains, etc., may induce ankylomastitis.
