The doctor nodded: "It can't be wrong... This is psoriasis... And I see that there are two more spots on your daughter's back..."
Husband and wife, you look at me and I look at you. . Don't even know what to do. . .
The doctor continued: "Now I have good news and bad news to tell you...Which one do you want to hear first???"
She didn't wait for her husband to answer. . The wife immediately said first: "Good news... I want to hear the good news..."
Seeing my wife being so determined. . The husband also nodded to express that he wanted to hear the good news. . .
The doctor said: "The good news is that the psoriasis your daughter has is not contagious... Your daughter is completely normal except for the rash and red spots on her body that make her feel itchy... and this disease can be controlled... .”
After listening to what the doctor said. . . The couple finally felt relieved. . . This disease is not contagious. . . At the same time, my daughter has no other problems. . . . And the condition can be controlled. . .
At this time, the husband asked: "What about the bad news??"
The doctor hesitated and said: "The bad news is... this disease is difficult to control... and the course of psoriasis is very long... it may not be cured for life... At the same time, she only has back pain now. The rash that appears here...wait until later...this rash can appear anywhere on her body...and it will be difficult to go away..."
"What?!" the husband said in surprise. . . .
At this time, my wife's tears also fell directly. . . . She couldn't believe her ears. . . Never healed. . . This means nothing. . . This means that my daughter may have this rash on her body for the rest of her life. . . And I have to feel itchy skin all the time throughout my life. . .
It would be okay if it was only on the back. . . If arms and legs. . Even the face. . . If the neck is also there. . . What should she do? . . What girl doesn't love beauty. . . Can she accept what she is now? . .
Think of this. . . The wife began to cover her face and cry. . . The husband didn't cry though. . . But he also frowned. . . Of course he knew what this meant to his daughter. . . I just wanted to take out a cigarette out of habit. . But it suddenly occurred to me that this was a hospital. . The outstretched hand retracted again. . .
The doctor also knew that this fact would be difficult for them to accept. . But there's nothing we can do about it. . .
The wife cried and said to the doctor: "Doctor... I beg you, doctor... please find a way to cure my daughter... She is less than 3 years old... She is still so young... How could she get this disease... She still has to wear beautiful clothes... She still has to fall in love... She still has to get married... She can't be like this... Doctor..."
When I think about my daughter living with this disease for the rest of her life. . . A mother will be heartbroken. . . Feeling extremely guilty. . .
"Yes... Doctor... You must save my daughter... She still has a great life... I am willing to pay any amount of money... Doctor..." The husband is also there. The side begged. .
Whenever this time. . Being a doctor is also very painful. . . Doctors are kindhearted. . . Doctors can better understand the feelings of family members. . .
At the same time, being a doctor also makes me feel guilty. . . Let’s put aside the limitations of medical level first. . A doctor is helpless with a patient. . I could only watch her continue to suffer. . . This is probably the biggest torture for a doctor. . .
The doctor said: "I am just telling you the worst result... There are many causes of this disease... and there is more than one manifestation... You still need to do some tests to know... This disease With current medical methods... it is difficult to cure..."
After speaking, the doctor wrote a few lines on the case. . .
The couple understands, too. . . Some diseases cannot be solved by doctors. . . . .
So they did some tests. . . Showed the results to the doctor. . .
The doctor sighed and said: "The cause of her disease is more complicated... Some conventional indicators are very normal... Then it is impossible for some external factors to cause her illness... So what makes her sick is It can only be an internal cause..."
"Internal cause?" the couple asked in confusion. . What could be the internal cause? . . Such a big kid. .
The doctor nodded and said: "There are currently only five known causes of psoriasis... The first is external infection... But you and your wife are fine... I have never heard of such related reports. ...So a child under 3 years old...is unlikely to be exposed to this virus alone."
"The second type is caused by endocrine disorders... Not to mention that this situation almost never occurs in children... Just talk about these laboratory indicators... They are all extremely healthy... In other words, her disease It has nothing to do with endocrine disorders..."
"The third reason is some other reasons... Mainly more mental reasons... Stress... Alcoholism... Smoking... and long-term drug abuse... will all be related... But this is for her. It’s impossible to say it’s impossible… Then now we’re left with the fourth and fifth possible factors…”
the doctor said. . The couple had been listening carefully. . . At the same time, the wife held her daughter tightly in her arms. .
“The fourth factor is genetic factors... because according to our survey of psoriasis patients... a considerable number of people have a history of psoriasis in their families... so some people are born with this genetic defect. . . ”
After hearing this, the couple looked at each other. . . A confused look on his face. . . This is a genetic factor. . . Neither did they. . . Their own bodies know best. . This has never been the case. . . And not just myself. . . Neither do their parents, siblings. . So how could it be a genetic factor. . .
So they told the doctor what they thought. . .
The doctor shook his head and said: "Genetics is very complicated... You can't just look at the surface... You need to be tested to know... Because this genetic gene has recessive genes and dominant genes... The reason why they don't have the disease may be because this gene is a recessive gene... So you think you don't have this disease... It's just that the gene doesn't show up... It doesn't mean you don't have this problem... And you It is a recessive gene... It does not necessarily mean that your next generation will also have a recessive gene... It is very likely that it will become a dominant gene... And everyone's physique is different... Some people are just different from ordinary people. For example, Typhoid Mary, the most famous asymptomatic infection in history... She carried the typhoid virus... But she was different from ordinary people... There was a large amount of active typhoid virus in her gallbladder... But these viruses But it never made her sick... But the virus is still active... so she can still infect many people... So I suggest you also get tested... This will also help me screen out some problems... .”
