During the treatment process, these characteristics of elderly vitiligo should be given high attention, combined with the patient's own situation, reasonable treatment methods should be selected, and attention should be paid to the adjustment of physical and mental environment. Below, please allow the vitiligo experts from the Third Hospital of Shanxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to explain the nursing knowledge of elderly vitiligo.
Nursing Knowledge of Elderly Vitiligo
(1) Reasonable diet, pay attention to rest
Elderly vitiligo patients should have a reasonable diet, according to the condition of vitiligo and physical condition, eat more high-protein, low-fat, low-sugar, and foods rich in vitamin B, avoid too many taboos, and don't give up or take an indifferent attitude towards eating foods that can worsen the condition. Pay attention to rest, balance work and leisure, and ensure adequate sleep. Participate more in beneficial physical and mental activities, but the entertainment time should not be too long, and the amount of exercise should not be too large.
(2) Develop good living habits, create a harmonious living environment
After getting sick, quit personal habits that are not beneficial to health and affect the recovery of the body, such as addiction to mahjong and card games. Do not drink or smoke excessively, and never binge drink. Pay attention to hygiene, exercise the body, develop good and regular living habits, and consciously create a living environment conducive to the recovery of the body.
(3) Overcome negative emotions, maintain a good mood
Elderly vitiligo patients, especially those with a longer course of disease and widespread skin lesions, should overcome irritability and negative emotions. Build confidence and courage to overcome the disease, and maintain a good and stable mindset to overcome the influence of various adverse external factors.
(4) Correct medical behavior, avoid iatrogenic harm
Most elderly vitiligo patients have received multiple treatments, and the effect of repigmentation is often not ideal, easily leading to the idea of finding a "miracle drug", believing in the propaganda of "cure" and "radical cure" for vitiligo, and accepting irregular treatments and abusing various drugs, causing harm to both physical and mental health. Therefore, patients should hold a scientific medical view, correctly deal with the current status of vitiligo treatment, believe in the progress of medicine and scientific development, choose a correct medical path for themselves, and avoid iatrogenic harm.
(5) Rational treatment, correct medication
When choosing drugs for treating vitiligo, the overall condition should be considered, avoiding or reducing the use of drugs that can lower the body's immunity and have greater toxic side effects, such as immunosuppressants, anti-tumor drugs, and corticosteroid hormones, etc., and be cautious about using arsenic- and mercury-containing drugs. Drugs with gentle efficacy and fewer side effects can be chosen, such as immunomodulators, microcirculation improving drugs, Chinese herbs, as well as biofeedback therapy, acupuncture therapy, qigong therapy, dietary therapy, etc. When treating coexisting chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc., do not take drugs that can worsen the condition of vitiligo, such as sulfonamides, thiazides, glibenclamide, cysteine, cystine, dimercaptopropanol, penicillamine, etc., and avoid long-term use of thiourea, thiouracil, thyroid hormone, vitamin C, etc.
