has such a disease. Not only is it a high incidence rate, regardless of gender, age, but it also has a strong sense of pain. Many boys who claim to be tough guys are entangled by it, and they are so painful that they doubt that they cannot stand up in their lives. It's shingles. In recent years, the incidence rate of shingles in the elderly has become more prominent. According to statistics, the number of new shingles in China aged 50 and above is about 1.56 million! People over 50 years old, immune-deficient or using immunosuppressive drugs are prone to attack. In addition, almost all older people have varicella-zoster viruses in their nervous system. Even if they are healthy, their immune function gradually declines as they age, and about one-third of them will suffer from shingles throughout their lives. 
1. Where does shingles come from?
shingles are often caused by chickenpox in the past, which causes the varicella-zoster virus to lurk in the spinal cord and ganglion . When the body's resistance decreases, the virus will be active, causing shingles. Herpes zoster is a disease that affects nerves and skin. It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The main symptom of is pain, followed by a rash. The rash is mainly a clustered blister based on erythema. It usually occurs on one side of the body, along the nerve direction, and is distributed in a band, so it is called herpes zoster.
The main reason for herpes zoster infection is that she has suffered from chickenpox in the past, which causes the chickenpox-shape virus to lurk in the body. When the body is tired, drinking, lack of sleep, colds, or suffering from AIDS , it causes a decrease in resistance, which can induce viral infection and cause herpes zoster.
2. Who are herpes zosters that you like to target?
0-year-old middle-aged and elderly people: shingles are an age-related disease. As we grow older, the immune system will gradually degenerate, so the older the age, the higher the prevalence.
Tumors and AIDS patients: Patients such as tumors and AIDS have low immunity due to their own or medication, and have little resistance to varicella zoster virus.
Subhealthy population: At present, the incidence of shingles is increasing year by year and is becoming younger. Nowadays, more and more young people are prone to being infected. Bad habits such as staying up late and exercising will lead to a decline in the body's immunity and easily induce the "shingles virus" lurking in the body, and then become infected.
3. How should shingles be prevented and treated?
Common treatment methods for shingles are antiviral, pain relief, prevention and treatment of complications. Herpes zoster is self-limiting, and its purpose is to relieve acute pain, control the development of the rash, shorten the course of the disease, and prevent the occurrence of complications such as postpartum neuralgia. Commonly used drug treatments include antiviral drugs, sedative pain-relieving drugs, topical ointments and nutritional nerve drugs.
The best treatment method for shingles is traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is very important in the entire development of the disease. In addition to oral Chinese medicine, traditional therapies such as acupuncture have significant efficacy. When is obvious in the early stage of the disease, the use of acupuncture local periarthritis and cupping and bloodletting therapy can not only effectively relieve the patient's pain, but also significantly reduce the blisters, greatly reduce the chance of infection and shorten the course of the disease.
If you want to prevent shingles, you must first remove the inducing factors, such as staying up late, fatigue, fatigue, poor rest, or other situations that cause the body's immunity to be low, and you must also perform regular routines and exercise appropriately to enhance the body's immunity and improve disease resistance; secondly, you must prevent infection; secondly, you can also prevent the occurrence of shingles by vaccinating varicella zoster virus.
Comprehensive the above, shingles are one of the common skin diseases in middle-aged and elderly people, and will have a great impact on the lives of middle-aged and elderly people. Therefore, for middle-aged and elderly people who do not have contraindications for vaccination, if they have chronic underlying diseases, they are a high-incidence of shingles. Vaccination is the most effective prevention method. At the same time, remember to improve immunity, exercise actively, and pay attention to keeping warm.#Postherpetic neuralgia# #dermal disease# #Health Science Competition# #I want to go to the headlines#
