Lupus is a long-lasting autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the body, including the vital organs as well as bones and joints. Symptoms can last anywhere from six weeks to over a year. Lupus occurs when your body's autoimmune system - normally tasked with fighting off infections - confuses your own body's cells with foreign invading cells. This results in pain and inflammation in different parts of the body.

Even though this condition is mostly found in middle-aged women, it can appear in people of any gender or age. The symptoms that lupus cause are, for example, a pain or swelling of the joints; a fever of unknown origin; hair loss and the appearance of rashes on the skin. There are many different treatment for lupus, but the most common one is a drug known as Nonsteroidal. Anti-inflammatory drugs as well as over-the-counter drugs may be used to treat the different symptoms.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the liver. The most common hepatitis is viral hepatitis, of which there are five different types: Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. Autoimmune hepatitis occurs when your body develops antibodies that work against your live tissue. These antibodies manifest as a secondary result of medications or drugs, or toxins and excessive use of alcohol. The treatment of this condition depends largely on which variation of the disease you have.

&nbsp;
Symptoms can vary and develop slowly or chronically depending on the strain. You may experience signs such as fatigue and flu-like symptoms, abdominal pain and a lack of appetite. Weight loss, dark urine, pale stools and some signs of jaundice may also be present. Naturally, when you are experiencing some or all of these symptoms, you'll need to be examined by a doctor. They can then determine through tests, ultrasounds, and biopsies and further examination what kind of hepatitis you may be suffering from. Hepatitis can have severe complications and needs medical treatment, however, there are vaccines available for some of the strains and is key in preventing the development of this disease.

The human brain is a topic that has intrigued creators throughout history. They imagine creative scenarios involving the keeping, transplanting, and removal of this organ. The reason that creators find it fascinating is its association with our thoughts.
 
Our brain is the center of our nervous system. As such, it controls most of the functions in our body. However, some functions, like the heart pumping blood, happens independently of the brain. 
 
Brains are susceptible to damage, disease, and infection. It is vulnerable to degenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease, dementia, and multiple sclerosis. It is also susceptible to psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia and depression. Many of the conditions that affect our brains are hereditary. What this means is, we are genetically predisposed to them. Knowing your medical history is a great way to protect this central organ. Doctors use medical imaging, like EEGs, to scan the brain and make accurate diagnoses. Doctors treat some of its conditions can with therapy, instead of medication.

Fitness is a condition that helps people feel and do their best. Fitness helps our bodies perform what we need, whether it is enjoying a walk, doing household tasks or running a marathon. When you set your fitness goals, you should consider your skills, age, fitness level and health. When you start out slowly, you will slowly progress to the higher levels.

&nbsp;
Whether you are new to fitness or a fitness-guru, you should always start with a warm-up and end with a cool-down. A warm-up includes ten to fifteen minutes of low-intensity activity, such as jogging, walking, arm circles, trunk rotations or knee lifts. A cool-down includes ten minutes of low-level exercise, slow walking and stretching. As a rule of thumb, you should try to perform moderate intensity activity most days of the week, for example, do brisk walking.

&nbsp;
Fitness is available to anyone. Everyone can increase their level of fitness if they have motivation and willingness to adjust their lifestyle to their fitness goals.
