Hidradenitis Suppurativa vs. Acne: How to Differentiate and Treat Chronic Inflammation

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
What is Hidradenitis? Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the apocrine glands, located in specific areas of the body. These glands secrete a specialized fluid and are found only in certain regions, such as the armpits, groin, around the anus, genitals, buttocks, and under the breasts. Due to skin folds in these areas, the apocrine glands experience a lack of oxygen, leading to secretion blockage and promoting the growth of pathogenic anaerobic ...

Endometriosis: The Hidden Threat to Women’s Health, Part 1

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus. This tissue can develop on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the outer surface of the uterus, and other organs. Under the influence of hormonal changes, this tissue continues to menstruate just like the uterine lining, causing inflammation, scar formation, and pain that can range from moderate to very severe. Severe pain from endometriosis can significantly affe...
