香港,中国 - Media OutReach - 2018919 - 人生的不同阶段,会面临许多影响命运的关键时刻,如升学考试、踏入社会工作及生儿育女等,此时都不可避免会产生压力。压力大不但影响心理健康,还有机会诱发许多疾病,例如银屑病。皮肤科专科医生何家强指出:"银屑病两大发病高危期分别为1525岁及5060岁。"1525岁的人士需应对中考、高考及毕业后投身社会的转变,而5060岁的人士会忧虑退休养老和子女离家等问题,各方面压力因而大增,有机会诱发银屑病。

 压力或诱发银屑病 人生黄金岁月成发病高危期

歧视目光影响患者情绪

银屑病病因未明,可能是由于自身免疫系统失衡所致。研究指出遗传可增加两至三成发病机会。患者的皮肤会过度增生,出现覆盖厚鳞屑的斑块及脱皮现象。除压力和情绪变化外,银屑病的病情还受到各种外来因素影响,包括烟酒、天气转变及皮肤损伤等。

 

皮肤上的斑块及如雪花般脱落的皮屑,影响患者的生活和社交。有患者到理发店剪发,或在公共游泳池游泳及使用体育设施时,曾因银屑病的体征而受歧视,甚至被拒绝使用设施。另外,有些患者害怕被别人看到皮肤上的斑块,盛夏时仍穿着长袖衣及长裤,身体因密不透气而产生异味,受到旁人歧视。何医生表示:"其实银屑病属自身免疫系统疾病,不会传染给别人。歧视目光会让患者情绪低落,继而影响病情,造成恶性循环。"

 

银屑病患者也可能会同时患有其他疾病,如抑郁、关节炎和代谢综合症等。何医生指出:"若患者能好好控制病情,除可减轻症状外,亦可减少并发症的风险。"

 

合适治疗及愉快心情有助改善病情

银屑病的治疗方案包括外用药物、光照、口服药物、注射或输液及生物制剂治疗等。新一代生物制剂近年用来治疗中度至严重银屑病,针对性地抑制受疾病影响的免疫细胞,能更有效地控制病情及减少副作用。研究结果显示,受影响皮肤上出现的病征有95%100%能被生物制剂清除。

 

何医生分享了一个病例:一位刚升入大学的银屑病患者,因学习环境转变及感情问题而情绪低落,使病情恶化,受影响范围扩展至头皮,导致脱发。因患者注重外观,于是开始逃避上学,学业一落千丈,压力大增,后来更患上抑郁。患者后来接受生物制剂治疗,病情得到控制后,情绪问题亦随之消失。

 

何医生建议患者应多进行体育锻炼和晒太阳,因前者能有助分泌多巴胺,提升患者的正面情绪,而适量的紫外线也有助于患者改善病情。除药物治疗外,远离烟酒、作息定时和控制情绪均对病情有帮助。
