Rheumatic Musculoskeletal Disorders: Cases of rheumatic musculoskeletal disorders are increasing rapidly in the country. In such a situation, awareness about this disease and timely identification is very important to live a normal life. 

Rheumatic musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs) are a serious and incurable disease. It is a group of diseases that involve joints, muscles, bones and tendons, with symptoms such as inflammation, pain and reduced mobility. According to experts, about 25% of Indians are affected by these diseases. These diseases are autoimmune, that is, the body's immune system attacks its own cells.

It is very important to diagnose it on time. Due to too much delay, these diseases can cause permanent disability or in severe cases, life-threatening. In such a situation, Dr. Bimalesh Dhar Pandey, Director of Rheumatology Department of Fortis Hospital Noida, has shared important information about this disease with a media site, which we are telling you here-

The growing impact on women

Dr. Pandey said that autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and psoriatic arthritis are affecting women more, especially young women. Symptoms of these diseases include persistent fever, uncontrollable weight loss, and joint pain, which can often be ignored or misdiagnosed. Psoriasis is usually considered a skin disease, but it can be a sign of psoriatic arthritis.

Timely identification is essential

There is no permanent cure for rheumatic diseases, Dr. Pandey said, adding that if these are identified on time and the right treatment is taken, they can be managed effectively.

Children are also at risk

The rise of autoimmune diseases in children has become a matter of concern. These diseases can cause infections, heart disease, kidney damage and intestinal problems in children. Dr. Pandey said that increasing pollution in urban areas and genetic reasons are increasing this problem. Apart from this, viral diseases like chikungunya can also increase the risk of arthritis.

Delayed diagnosis and its consequences

Late diagnosis of rheumatic diseases is a major concern. By the time patients consult a specialist, the disease has progressed significantly, causing deformity and permanent damage to the joints. Dr. Pandey appealed to the public to immediately seek medical advice if they feel symptoms of autoimmune diseases.
