Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment in Bhopal – Dr. Ashok Gupta

What is Psoriatic Arthritis?

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the joints and skin. It typically affects people who have psoriasis, a skin disorder that leads to red, scaly patches. In some cases, joint problems may appear before skin symptoms.

Common Symptoms of Psoriatic Arthritis

Patients with psoriatic arthritis may experience a wide range of symptoms, including:

• Joint pain, swelling, and stiffness
  
  

• Fatigue
  
  

• Morning stiffness
  
  

• Swollen fingers and toes (dactylitis)
  
  

• Nail changes (pitting, separation from the nail bed)
  
  

• Lower back pain (sacroiliitis)
  
  

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent joint damage and maintain quality of life.

Causes and Risk Factors

While the exact cause is unknown, psoriatic arthritis is believed to result from a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. Risk factors include:

• A family history of psoriasis or arthritis
  
  

• A personal history of psoriasis
  
  

• Environmental triggers such as infections or physical trauma
