How does sacroiliitis affect patients?

Sacroiliitis is a disease that has a significant impact on patients. Sacroiliitis can cause patients to have symptoms such as persistent dull pain, morning stiffness, body dysfunction, joint contractures, etc. In severe cases, it can even affect the normal functions of the human body and then affect daily life, such as the patient's sexual life, female fertility, female delivery and the patient's own health. Therefore, patients with sacroiliitis must receive active treatment.

1. Sexual life

Suffering from sacroiliitis, not only the patient's own life is affected, but also has a certain impact on his family. People with sacroiliitis find it difficult to take care of themselves. If not treated in time, it may cause serious disability and will also affect their relationship with their spouse. Due to the occurrence of spinal and joint deformities, patients with sacroiliitis will have a certain impact on their sexual life.

2. Fertility

Since sacroiliitis has a certain family genetic tendency in its pathological etiology, it will also have a certain impact on the patient's fertility. However, since sacroiliitis is a disease caused by multiple causes, heredity is only one of the causes and not the only factor affecting the disease. That is to say, the probability of sacroiliitis patients inheriting the disease to the next generation of children is only between 15 and 25. If the patient wants to have a child, it is best to stop taking drugs that are harmful to the child six months or more in advance.

3. Women giving birth

Women with sacroiliitis will most likely experience erosive chondritis pathological changes in their pubic symphysis due to the disease. In the early stages of sacroiliitis, the pubic symphysis articular cartilage will undergo inflammatory necrosis and the necrotic bone tissue will be absorbed. In the late stages of sacroiliitis, the sacroiliac joints and pubic symphysis will fuse. This can cause the pelvic bone sutures to be unable to open during childbirth, making delivery difficult and having a serious impact.

4. Personal health

The most serious impact of sacroiliitis is the patient's own health. Disability caused by spinal ankylosis and hip deformity is the result of the disease in patients with sacroiliitis. Therefore, prevention should be carried out in the early stages of sacroiliitis, when the deformity has not yet formed, that is, before bony ankylosis occurs.
