Misconceptions about tuberculosis
All the vileness of this disease is laid down even in an unpleasant name. But do not panic, some useful knowledge will always come in handy.
Tuberculosis is a disease of the homeless! First of all, there is an opinion that this disease is of a social nature and it is not to be afraid of its normal people. Prisoners, drug addicts, alcoholics are ill. This is far from the case. History knows many great and successful people who suffer from this sore and died from it - A. Chekhov, N. Amosov, F. Dostoyevsky, J. Belmondo. The reason is not in the style of life, but in the susceptibility of the organism to this disease. According to rough estimates, 70% of the total adult population of the countries of the former USSR are infected, but only one in ten falls ill. These are usually people from areas with poor ecology. Everything depends on the immunity of a person - if it is normal - you should not be afraid.
I'm fine! The biggest problem is that in the primary stages the disease does not give bright symptoms. Nothing hurts, the temperature is almost normal. Slight weakness and increased fatigue can be attributed to the rhythm of life. After getting to the doctor after an X-ray examination, the patient begins to prove that he is healthy and does not believe the spots in the picture.
I do not drink, I do not smoke! There are many people without bad habits, but still sick. A few grams of alcohol a day is even good for your health. The lungs like red wine.
I do not cough and do not excrete phlegm! If the focus is deep in the lungs, closer to the lower lobe - a cough may be absent.
Nothing hurts me! And pains also do not happen. And if it happens - it's because of the inflammatory process, which has passed to the nearby organs. The pain can be in the chest, under the scapula, to give in the neck. But this is more an exception. And it is for this reason that many convicts do not seek treatment, and after the release they receive a disability pension.
Tuberculosis is a disease of the lungs! There are other forms of tuberculosis - bone, genito-urinary system, lymph nodes.
The sun, air and water! Clean and fresh air is useful. But the sun and a long stay at the reservoir can negatively affect the sick or sick person. Shadow, coolness, and dryness are preferred. Forbidden to go to the bath - it can bring irreversible harm, even if the course of treatment is passed. It is harmful to be under the scorching rays of the summer sun, to sunbathe.
Tuberculosis is incurable! Modern medicine may well cope with this disease, however, the duration and monotony of the healing process can not be mastered by everyone.
It is necessary to be treated only by folk methods! Folk methods are good, but not always effective. And the medical statistics show that the drug treatment brings a much greater effect.
A healthy lifestyle and good intentions, good nutrition and a regime of the day - all this will protect against many ailments!
