Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common symptoms of rheumatic diseases?
The most common symptoms include joint pain and stiffness, swelling, fatigue, and reduced mobility. If symptoms persist, early diagnosis by a specialist rheumatologist is important to prevent further damage.
How can I relieve joint pain without medication?
Pain management may include physiotherapy, light exercise, weight loss, application of heat or cold, and dietary supplements. However, consulting a rheumatologist is essential for the right approach.
What are the main causes of osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is caused by reduced bone density, often due to hormonal changes, calcium and vitamin D deficiency, or genetic predisposition. Prevention includes a balanced diet, weight-bearing exercises, and, if needed, medication.
When should I see a rheumatologist?
If you have persistent joint pain or stiffness, swelling, or chronic fatigue, it is important to visit a rheumatologist for timely diagnosis and treatment. Early intervention can prevent permanent joint damage and improve quality of life.
What tests are needed to detect rheumatic diseases?
Common tests include blood tests (inflammatory markers, autoantibodies), X-rays, ultrasounds, and MRI. Combining results from these tests helps ensure an accurate diagnosis.
