Chapter 669: Scleroderma

"I'll see!" Dr. Xiao hurriedly walked over.

Looking at the girl's hand, and then at her face, "Are the feet like this?" ”

"Hmm!" The girl wiped her tears, took off her shoes, took off her socks, and the skin of her feet, especially her heels, was thick and hard, tight and shiny.

"What's wrong, isn't this frostbite?" The girl's father was puzzled, is this worse than lungs?

"How long has this been the case?" Guo Xiang asked.

"It's been a few years, but this year it's been particularly severe." The girl said.

Guo Xiang chuckled in his heart, indicating that the condition had worsened, so that his lungs were fibrotic.

"What's wrong? This is ......" An Zehan didn't quite understand, this seems to be just a skin disease, maybe it is caused by the poor family and not applying cream, it is so cold that many countrymen are like this, right?

"Does it hurt?" Guo Xiang asked distressedly.

"It hurts, you can't get cold water, as soon as you get cold water, it hurts. And the feet, if you accidentally step on it, it will hurt for half your life. The girl said.

The girl's father was stunned, "Miao Miao, why didn't you say it earlier, and you washed your clothes with cold water in the morning......"

"Dad......" the girl smiled bitterly, "If I don't be a grandmother, I'll be unhappy, so she will beat me and scold me, and I'll just endure it." ”

"Miao Miao......" The girl's father's eyes turned even redder, blaming himself for not caring enough about his daughter, and his mother was patriarchal, and he couldn't change her concept, but fortunately, he didn't interfere too much when the child was sensible, and he couldn't think of it......

"What the hell is going on?" An Zehan asked Guo Xiang softly.

"It could be 'scleroderma.'" Guo Xiang sighed, this is a more serious disease than pulmonary fibrosis, and lung fibrosis may also be able to do lung transplantation, but this disease cannot be treated.

Even in the later life, there is no cure, and I can only take medicine for a long time to improve, but the result is still ......

"What is 'scleroderma'?" An Zehan asked, he now knows how little knowledge he has learned, but it is true that many medical books do not have it.

"I'm going to ask Dr. Wang from the dermatology department to come down for a consultation." Dr. Xiao said.

Soon Dr. Wang from the dermatology department was invited, and he carefully examined the skin on the girl's body, and his expression was also unusually dignified.

"Doctor, what is my daughter's disease?" The girl's father asked anxiously.

"It can basically be determined that it is 'scleroderma', and some skin tissue must be taken for laboratory testing." Dr. Wang said, sighing lightly, "Let's be hospitalized first, and we have to do all kinds of examinations, so we must be ready to fight a tough battle." ”

"Doctor, is this disease incurable?" The girl asked.

"No, if you can control it, it's okay to live for decades, but you have to take medicine for life." Dr. Wang said, "Don't be discouraged, some people just take medicine all their lives, such as heart disease, such as high blood pressure, they don't have to take medicine, just get used to it." ”

"Really?" The girl's father rekindled his hope that as long as it could be cured, even if it could not be cured, it would be possible to live a normal life.

"Let's get hospitalized first." Dr. Wang said.

Dr. Xiao then prescribed a hospitalization order and several tests.

Scleroderma is a skin disease on the surface, but in fact, it is mainly caused by immune system problems, so it is not referred to dermatology.

The father and daughter went to go through the hospitalization procedures, and An Zehan asked Guo Xiang, "What is this scleroderma?" ”

"Scleroderma, also known as systemic sclerosis, is a connective tissue disease characterized by hardening and atrophy of the skin. At first, it was only the hardening of the skin, but slowly the flesh and internal organs may harden, and the little girl's lungs have been fibrosed, indicating that it is already very serious. ”

"It's possible that there is a problem with the kidneys, too. These organs are hardened, can't breathe, can't metabolize, and the person ...... "can't live, Guo Xiang didn't say anything."

"How did you get this disease?" An Zehan asked.

"The specific cause is not very clear, it may be genetic, it may be a viral infection, and the most important thing is that there is a problem with the immune system. This is the most difficult to treat, and there is no specific medicine. Guo Xiang shook his head.

"What then?" An Zehan exclaimed.

"As Dr. Wang said, symptomatic treatment, if it can be controlled, you can still live a few more years......

All three were silent, and the situation was not optimistic.

Guo Xiang also sighed secretly in his heart, even in the later life, this disease is very difficult to treat, but at that time, there were various advanced medicines that could be used to treat, and some people with mild symptoms may live for decades, but at this time, many people are really powerless.

There are still many incurable diseases in the world, and doctors are really not immortals.

Just then a young man walked in.

Seeing that the three doctors were silent, I was a little surprised, "Doctor, can you still see a doctor here?" ”

Dr. Xiao looked up, "Come in!" ”

"What's wrong?" Dr. Xiao asked.

The young man sat down, stretched out his hands, and placed them on the table.

The three of them all looked at the hands, which were wet and shiny, as if they had been washed with water.

It's the complete opposite of the little girl just now.

An Zehan thought it would be nice if he could integrate with the girl.

"Doctor, look at my hands, I sweat a lot all year round, whether it's winter or summer, what's going on?" The young man said in distress, "In this winter, I can't even hold a pen in my hand, and I have to wipe it when I write, which is too uncomfortable." ”

"Not to mention in the summer, if you are nervous and excited, the sweat will drip down like water. I recently talked to someone, and I didn't dare to hold the other party's hand, for fear of being disliked by her. The young man said embarrassedly.

Dr. Xiao took a piece of toilet paper from the side and wiped it on the young man's hand, and the paper was soaked all at once, which showed how bad the sweat was.

"It's sweat hand disease, there is a problem with the sympathetic nerves, and the sweat glands are too strong." Dr. Xiao said.

"Can that be cured?" The young man asked hurriedly.

"It can be cured." Dr. Xiao nodded, "Just do a minor surgery and remove the sweat glands under your armpits." ”

"Yes, yes, I sweat a lot under my armpits, my clothes are wet at this time, my feet are sweaty, and it is even worse in summer, and I slip in plastic slippers." The young man nodded again and again, "But if the sweat glands are removed, will you not sweat?" That...... Isn't it boring? ”

"No, we have a lot of sweat glands all over our body, but the removal of the apocrine glands under the armpit does not affect the others, and it will still divide the sweat, but it will be much better." Guo Xiang said.

Dr. Xiao nodded as well.

"That's great, I'm going to have surgery." The young man was delighted, paused and asked, "Is the surgery expensive?" ”

"It's not expensive, it's just a minor operation." Dr. Xiao said,

"Okay, when can I do that? I think the sooner I do it, the better. "The young people are excited.

Dr. Xiao nodded and transferred him to the general surgery, where the operation could be done.

As soon as the young man left, the three of them fell silent again, thinking of the girl in front of them, they were really happy and sad.
