What diseases are aggravated in autumn?

Fall weather, frequently fluctuating temperatures, humidity and increased risks of colds can exacerbate a number of ailments. Here are diseases that are especially aggravated in autumn.

1. Gastrointestinal diseases

Dietary changes and weather changes in the fall can aggravate ulcers, gastritis, and inflammation of the stomach lining. People with ulcers in particular may be aggravated, as rapid changes between hot and cold foods can irritate the stomach.

2. Rheumatism and gout (arthritis) Damp and cold can aggravate joint diseases such as rheumatism or gout. After hot weather conditions, the joints become more sensitive to the drop in temperature.

3. Allergies In autumn, some plants continue to pollinate, and as a result, allergies, especially allergies to dust, plant pollens or food, can be aggravated. In addition, a change in weather can contribute to the activation of allergic reactions

4. Asthma and Bronchitis Cold and wet weather can aggravate respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis. Bronchial irritation often worsens when a cold or acute respiratory infection develops

5. Colds and Flu As fall approaches, respiratory infections such as colds and flu become more common. Fluctuating temperatures and humidity make it easy for viruses to spread, especially indoors.

6. Cardiovascular diseases The autumn frost can aggravate diseases of the cardiovascular system, such as fluctuations in blood pressure, heart attacks or blockages in blood vessels. Cold can raise blood pressure, which is dangerous, especially for older people.

7. Skin problems Autumn dampness and frost can aggravate skin problems such as eczema or dermatitis. Dry and windy weather can also lead to dry and irritated skin.

8. Depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder Days get shorter in the fall, which can cause seasonal affective disorder or depression to worsen. Lack of light can worsen mood and cause lack of energy.

To avoid these diseases in the fall, it is recommended to maintain a proper diet, use warm clothes, drink enough fluids, and avoid damp and cold environments.
