Causes of lupus erythematosus in men

The reason why men get lupus may be genetic factors or environmental factors. Under normal circumstances, women are more likely to get lupus, but men may also get it.

There is a possibility of genetic factors for men to get lupus erythematosus. If there is a history of systemic lupus erythematosus in the family, the incidence rate in the next generation will usually increase. However, this is not the pathogenesis of a genetic disease, but only increases the chance of the disease. It is an autoimmune disease.；

Men who get lupus erythematosus may also be exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time. Sunlight exposure can cause serious damage to the body and skin, such as cell apoptosis in the body, excessive production of own antigens, and the possibility of inducing lupus erythematosus. If there is a hidden viral infection, it is often caused, which can lead to disorders of the immune mechanism.

The causes of lupus erythematosus are relatively complex. After the onset, oral ulcers and rashes usually appear, accompanied by symptoms of hair loss, butterfly-shaped erythema on the face, and may also cause abnormalities in the blood system and liver function. Proteinuria or upper eyelid edema can usually be found, and there will be pain and swelling in the joints during exercise. It is necessary to determine the severity of the condition as early as possible to avoid worsening of the condition and affecting health.
