What is Autoimmune Disease?

The immune system detects dangerous germs and attacks them to protect the body. The system defends against bacteria and viruses and keeps people healthier when it functions as expected. Sometimes, the immune system behaves incorrectly and misidentifies the cells of the body as foreign. The system then attacks these cells as it would any invading germ.


The attacks often happen to only one part of the body or one organ. It is unknown why this happens. What is also not known is why women experience autoimmune disorders more than men. The conditions will typically begin when people are between the ages of 15-44. Autoimmune diseases are a serious concern because it remains one of the top 10 causes of death for women in every age group. The issue is complicated. Disabling the immune system to stop the disease would leave the body vulnerable to every potential virus and bacteria.


Treatment to control symptoms is almost always necessary because of the debilitating effects of many of the diseases. Some autoimmune disease control measures can stop the illness and restore the health of the patient. Unfortunately, other patients will continue to have the problem for life but, treatment can make the symptoms less severe and sometimes keep them unnoticeable for years.

Types of Autoimmune Diseases


The severity of the condition often depends on what part of the body the immune system attacks. Autoimmune Disease Treatments help to keep the discomforts of the disease under control. In some instances, treatments can stop the side effects entirely without weakening the immune system.


Scientists have identified more than 80 autoimmune diseases, and many are well known. Some of the most common include irritable bowel syndrome, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis. It is difficult to imagine that conditions as diverse as these, and others like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, are all related in this manner.


Doctors may struggle to narrow down the cause of the variety of symptoms a patient complains about. Diagnosing an autoimmune disease is a complex process. The medical community does not have one test for all autoimmune diseases. Patients must track all their symptoms, even those that seem minor, like achy muscles or fatigue, and combine that with various screenings to get an accurate diagnosis.


Many of the conditions share some similarities too, but some have symptoms that are unique to them. Patients that visit Dr. Dana Cohen often schedule a visit when they begin to experience multiple, seemingly unrelated symptoms. They often assume the problems relate to being overtired or under stress and are unaware that they could involve much more.

Why Are Women More at Risk?


Research shows twice as many women are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases as men. There are no definitive explanations about why this happens. Experts believe the extra sensitivity of the female immune system could play a role. Women also have a more pronounced inflammatory response. This may enable doctors to diagnose the problem easier. More noticeable symptoms may encourage women to make an appointment with a doctor to receive a diagnosis. Research also suggests that the rise and fall of hormones in women during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause may play a role.


Common Causes of Autoimmune Diseases


The countless hours of professional research into autoimmune diseases have not made the diagnosis of the conditions any easier. Not only are there dozens of wildly different conditions possible – but the causes are also numerous. People may become ill when they have only one risk factor. Some people can check every box and never develop an autoimmune disease.


  • Environmental: Exposure to toxins in the air, soil, and water could make some people susceptible to developing an autoimmune disorder. The belief is that the constant exposure to toxins makes the immune system hyperactive.


  • Lifestyle: People who smoke and those who are obese have a higher probability of developing an autoimmune disease. Like its exposure to toxins, the immune system may stay too active protecting the body when unhealthy lifestyle choices happen consistently. Eventually, it becomes too aggressive.


  • Heredity: Autoimmune diseases develop more often in people with one or more relatives with the same type of disorder. Family members do not need to all have the same autoimmune condition. The genetic link could result in the potential to develop any autoimmune disease.


  • Gender: As mentioned earlier, females have an increased risk of autoimmune diseases. Women are more than twice as likely as men to develop one of the many conditions. Men are still at risk and can also have a shorter lifespan due to the illnesses if they do not practice self-care and seek medical treatment.


  • Existing Health: Autoimmune disorders develop more often in people with past infections, take specific medications, and already have one autoimmune disease. Patients should always take to their doctors about the potential for medication side effects and learn more about how chronic infections may cause long-term health problems.
