What Are Autoimmune Diseases and How Do They Develop?
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, causing conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. H Guru Prasad highlights that genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle factors contribute to their development. Symptoms can vary but typically involve inflammation and tissue damage. While there is no cure, early diagnosis, medications, and lifestyle adjustments can help manage symptoms and enhance quality of life.
