With the age of mysterious diagnoses with the ending "it" is added to the medical card of almost every person. Do you know that all these "its" mean one thing: inflammation of an organ. The doctor says jade – it means that the kidneys have caught a cold, arthritis – your joint hurts. Absolutely every structure in the human body can be affected by the inflammatory process. And your body starts to tell you about it quite early and actively. Learn the five must-have signs of any inflammation so you can recognize your body's warning signs.

Five tell-tale signs of inflammation in your body

Five signs of inflammation were identified in ancient times, when not only did special medical devices for diagnostics not exist, but even a simple blood test was out of the question.

Nevertheless, people have always been ill, and there have always been doctors who managed not only to correctly identify the disease, but also to cure it.

Knowing these five characteristic signs of inflammation, you too can determine your disease without any additional methods:

1. Tumor – swelling

Any inflammatory process in the human body begins with the penetration of a provoking agent into it. It can be a bacterium, a virus, a foreign body, a chemical, or another "provoker". The body immediately reacts to an unexpected guest, sending its guards to him – leukocyte cells, which are completely unhappy with him and instantly enter the battle. In the place of accumulation of exudate, an infiltrate is formed. In the area of ​​the inflammatory process, you will definitely see swelling.

2. Rubor – redness

As a result of the death of damaged cells in the body, special substances are released – inflammatory mediators. First of all, the blood vessels located in the surrounding tissues react to them. To slow down the flow of blood, they expand, fill with blood and the result is the appearance of redness. Thus, redness is another characteristic sign of inflammation.

3. Calor – temperature increase

Vasor dilation is an essential component of any inflammatory process, also because it needs to be cleaned up on the battlefield. Blood flow brings oxygen and necessary building materials to the site of inflammation, and all decay products – picks up. As a result of such active work in the area of ​​​​inflammation, it becomes very hot. The third obligatory sign of inflammation is fever.

4. Dolor – pain

The fact that somewhere in the body there is an active fight against the pest must be communicated to the brain, and the best way to do this is some kind of bright and expressive signal. For this, in almost every part of our body there are special bells – nerve endings. Pain – this is the best signal for the brain, as a result of which a person understands – something is going wrong in a certain area of ​​his body.

5. Functio laesa - violation of function

The above signs of inflammation add up to another important symptom of this pathological process – dysfunction of the affected structure. In a combat area, life cannot continue in the usual way. Therefore, inflammation is always accompanied by functional insufficiency of the affected organ. In some cases, this can be very dangerous for the body, for example, in inflammatory processes of the heart, kidneys or other vital organs.

If you notice these five signs of inflammation – You urgently need to see a doctor.

Remember that the inflammatory process – this is a serious pathology that cannot be treated on its own. Consultation with a qualified specialist and the selection of an effective treatment regimen will help your body become a winner in the battle against inflammation.
