It can be recognized by heat, redness and swelling of the joints. It specifically attacks the spine but can be seen in other joints, your urinary tract and sometimes the eyes. This disease belongs to a family of arthritic conditions named spondylarthropathies. The spine is the main target of this disease. Symptoms will include weight loss, sores on the skin, and ulcers in the mouth, fever and swelling. The causes of Reiter's Syndrome are not confirmed. It can affect anyone at anytime regardless of race gender and age. Scientists have found a link to genetics in that there are certain families where the disease is more prevalent. In fact with 75% of patients who suffer from Reiter's Syndrome a common gene was found that starts the disease. White men of around 20 and 40 are most commonly affected. The disease can also be precipitated by previous infections in the genitals, urinary tract and small intestine. It is also linked to salmonella contamination, so be sure to cook your foods well to avoid this risk. This disease can affect a variety of different parts of the body. Here are some of the symptoms that you can expect to find when diagnosing this problem: * Skin sores: these painful sores manifest themselves at the onset of the problem. * Urinary infections: this disease makes you more susceptible to urinary tract infections. These infections should be treated as soon as possible. * Pain and swelling of the joints: * Stiffness and lack of mobility of the joints * Inflammation of the eyes: this disease can also affect your eyes and it is important to get help from your eye doctor as soon as possible. A number of treatments for this disease must be used in order to maintain a patient's health and allow them to lead healthy lives. * Medicines such as NSAIDS will act as anti inflammatory agents for the joints * Antibiotics and skin medicines can be used to treat the sores that are found on the body * Urologists will give medications to clear up urinary infections * Occupational therapy will help to keep joints mobile * Physiotherapists recommend exercises to decrease pain and swelling in the joints * Dermatologists will take care of skin problems * Inflammation of the eyes can be taken care of by an eye doctor It is important to know as much as you can about Reactive arthritis once you have been diagnosed so that you can take the necessary steps to maintain your health and relieve symptoms. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Cathy Q is a professional writer and the author of several articles on health and wellness.
