Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine and other joints in the body. It is more commonly seen in men than women and typically develops in early adulthood. The exact cause of ankylosing spondylitis is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to genetics and the immune system, particularly the HLA-B27 gene. Symptoms vary but often include pain and stiffness in the lower back, hips, and other joints, as well as fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, eye inflammation, and difficulty breathing.

Treatment for ankylosing spondylitis focuses on reducing pain and inflammation, improving mobility and flexibility, and preventing complications. Medications such as NSAIDs, DMARDs, and biologic drugs are commonly used to manage symptoms. Physical therapy and lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and practicing good posture, can also help manage symptoms and prevent complications. Prevention of ankylosing spondylitis is not currently possible, but early diagnosis and treatment can help to manage symptoms and prevent complications, particularly for those with a family history of the condition.
