The term "arthritis" is not just a disease but more than 100 different types of arthritis. Let's find out some common arthritis diseases

.
Osteoarthritis
The cause of the disease is osteoarthritis. Cartilage is a buffer that protects bones, helps joints move easily and reduces pressure on bones. When the cartilage is degenerated, the bone underneath the cartilage layer will thicken to form bone buds The rubbing of bones will cause soreness and difficulty in movement and movement.

The disease is common in the elderly, obese people, people with congenital malformations ... And women account for the majority. A notable feature of osteoarthritis is that the joints are not swollen and inflammation is limited to the joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis
An autoimmune disease: the body's antibodies attack its own body and cartilage. The cause of the disease so far is unknown

The disease causes inflammation, soreness and stiffness.



The course of the disease is usually slow, initially acting on one joint and then spreading to the other.
The disease usually affects symmetrical joints and, in severe severity, will cause deformities in the joints.
The disease is common in women (three times more than men) with the age of 30 - 50 years old and causes physical weakness.

Treatment:
In the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, usually the following methods are used:
- Exercise physical therapy, lose weight, relax with a diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
- Pain relief with drugs such as acetaminophen, aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
- For rheumatoid arthritis, immunosuppressive drugs such as methotrexate, azathiopurin, cyclophosphamid can be used ...




- Applying joint replacement surgery when the condition is severe.
Gout
The cause of gout is due to disorders of uric acid metabolism in the body. Uric acid and its urate salts rise in the blood, will deposit into sharp crystals, concentrated in the joints causing intense pain. The disease usually occurs suddenly with typical symptoms: swelling, heat, redness, pain in inflamed areas.
The disease is common in middle age, mostly in men. When these crystals are concentrated, high concentrations in the kidneys can cause complications: kidney stones and kidney failure are dangerous.

Treatment:
- Strengthen exercise and sports (to help accelerate uric acid elimination).
- Limit beer, wine and foods rich in purines (because uric acid is the final metabolite of purines) such as clams, oysters, livers, hearts, red meat .



..
- Use of colchicin medicine in combination with uric acid elimination drugs such as allopurinol.
- Relieve pain with simple analgesics like acetaminophen, aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
