What is chronic inflammation?

 

Chronic inflammation refers to a state where the body's immune response remains persistently overactive, causing tissue damage over an extended period. Inflammation is originally a natural defense mechanism of the body to respond to infection or injury. However, chronic inflammation can lead to health problems as these responses persist for a long time.

 

What are the causes of chronic inflammation?

 

Chronic infection

Persistent infections such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites can cause inflammation.

 

🔸️Autoimmune disease

Autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus), where the immune system attacks normal body tissues, can cause chronic inflammation.

 

🔸️Long-term stimulation

Environmental factors (e.g., smoking, pollution), ongoing stress, and unbalanced eating habits can trigger chronic inflammation.

 

🔸️Speech disorder

Metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes can increase the level of inflammation in the body.

 

What are the symptoms of chronic inflammation?

 

Chronic inflammation, unlike acute inflammation, can have subtle symptoms that develop gradually. The common symptoms are as follows:

Fatigue

Muscle and joint pain

Fever

Skin rash

Digestive problems

Mood change
