Hives are a skin reaction that causes red or white itchy welts. The welts vary in size and appear and fade repeatedly as the reaction runs its course.
Chronic hives are a condition in which the welts last more than six weeks or recur over months or years. Chronic hives usually aren't life-threatening. But the condition can be very uncomfortable and interfere with sleep and daily activities.
Often, the cause of chronic hives is not clear. In some cases, chronic hives are a sign of an underlying health problem, such as thyroid disease or lupus.
You can try various treatments to relieve your symptoms. For many people, antihistamine and anti-itch medications provide relief from chronic hives.
Chronic hives are also called chronic urticaria (ur-tih-KAR-e-uh).
SYMPTOMS
Chronic hives signs and symptoms include:
*Batches of red or white welts (wheals), usually on the face, trunk, arms or legs
*Welts that vary in size, change shape, and appear and fade repeatedly as the reaction runs its course
*Itching, which may be severe
*Swelling that causes pain or burning (angioedema), especially inside the throat and around the eyes, cheeks, lips, hands, feet and genitals
*A tendency for signs and symptoms to flare with triggers such as heat, exercise and stress
*A tendency for symptoms to recur frequently and unpredictably, sometimes for months or years
When can I see a doctor?
See your doctor if you have:
*Severe hives
*Hives that don't respond to treatment
*Hives that continue to appear for several days
Seek emergency care if you:
*Feel dizzy
*Have severe chest tightness or trouble breathing
*Feel your tongue or throat swelling
CAUSES
The welts that come with hives arise when certain cells release histamine and other chemicals into your bloodstream.
Doctors often can't identify the reason for this skin reaction, or why it sometimes turns into a long-term problem (chronic hives). But the skin reaction may be triggered by:
*Pain medications
*Insects or parasites
*Infection
*Scratching
*Heat or cold
*Stress
*Sunlight
*Exercise
*Alcohol, food or food additives
*Pressure on the skin, as from a tight waistband
RISK FACTORS
Factors that increase your risk of developing chronic hives include:
*Being female, as women are affected twice as often as men
*Being a young adult
COMPLICATIONS
Chronic hives complications include:
*Difficulty breathing.When swelling occurs inside your mouth or throat, you may have difficulty breathing and pass out. Seek emergency medical care if you feel your tongue or throat swelling.
*Serious allergic reaction.Anaphylactic shock (anaphylaxis) is a serious allergic reaction involving your heart or lungs. Your bronchial tubes narrow, it's difficult to breathe, and your blood pressure drops. You may feel dizzy, pass out or even die. Anaphylactic shock happens fast. Seek emergency medical care if you feel this type of allergic reaction coming on.
People with chronic hives may be at increased risk of developing these immune system disorders:
You'll probably first visit your primary care doctor. But he or she may then refer you to a doctor who specializes in skin diseases (dermatologist) or to an allergy specialist.
TESTS AND DIAGNOSIS
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask you a number of questions to try to understand what might be causing your symptoms. He or she may also ask you to keep a diary to keep track of:
*Your activities
*Any medications, herbal remedies or supplements you take
*What you eat and drink
*Where hives appear and how long it takes a welt to fade
Tests
It isn't always possible to determine the underlying cause of chronic hives. If the first-choice therapies haven't worked for you, your doctor may order one or more tests, including:
*Blood tests
*Allergy tests, though only if your medical history and food diary haven't helped identify the cause of your hives
*Tests to rule out underlying conditions
TREATMENT
Your doctor will likely recommend you treat your symptoms with home remedies, such as over-the-counter antihistamines. If self-care steps don't help, talk with your doctor about finding the prescription medication or combination of drugs that works best for you.
Treat any underlying factors causing your symptoms. If your doctor can determine that your hives are caused by another condition, he or she will first try to treat that. For example, people with chronic hives and inflamed thyroid (thyroiditis) may best be helped by treating the thyroid problem.
Check with your doctor before taking any of medications if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, have a chronic medical condition, or are taking other medications.
*Anti-inflammation medications. Oral corticosteroids can help lessen swelling, redness and itching. These usually are used only for a short time to control severe hives or angioedema because they can cause serious side effects.
Corticosteroids creams applied to the skin usually aren't effective for chronic hives. Corticosteroids can weaken your immune system, making it easier for you to get an infection or worsening an infection you already have.
*Antidepressants.The tricyclic antidepressant used in cream form, can help relieve itching. This medicine may causedizzinessand drowsiness.
LIFESTYLE AND HOME REMEDIES
The following precautions may help prevent or soothe the recurring skin reactions of chronic hives:
*Wear loose, light clothing.
*Avoid scratching or using harsh soaps.
*Cool the affected area with a shower, fan, cool cloth or soothing lotion.
*Keep a diary of when and where hives occur, what you were doing, what you were eating, and so on. This may help you and your doctor identify triggers.
*Avoid known triggers, such as certain foods or additives, alcohol, pain relievers, heat, cold, exertion, and stress.
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
More study is needed, but some evidence supports the following alternative medicine approaches for providing relief of symptoms:
*Diet restrictions, such as eliminating yeast, food additives and other things that may cause the skin reaction (allergens)
*Supplements, such as vitamins B-12, C and D, fish oil, and quercetin
*Relaxation techniques
*Acupuncture, sometimes with an herbal wash of burdock
CERVICAL STENOSIS(BLOCKED CERVIX) AND TREATMENT The cervix is the doorway between your vagina and uterus. It’s the bottom part of your uterus located at the very top of your vagina and looks kind of like a small doughnut. The opening in the center of the cervix is called the os. The cervix works like a gatekeeper, controlling what is allowed and isn’t allowed through the os. When you aren’t pregnant, your cervix produces mucus, known as vaginal discharge. During most of the month, your cervix produces a thick mucus that clogs up the os, making it difficult for sperm to enter your uterus. When you ovulate, however, your cervix produces a thin, slippery mucus. Your cervix may also soften or change position, and the os may open slightly. This is all a calculated effort to make it easier for sperm to enter your uterus. In the days before your period begins, your cervix may harden or change position. The os may narrow and prepare to close in the event of a pregnancy. If th...

ENDOMETRIOSIS AND TREATMENT Endometriosis (en-doe-me-tree-O-sis) is an often painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside your uterus (endometrial implant). Endometriosis most commonly involves your ovaries, bowel or the tissue lining your pelvis. Rarely, endometrial tissue may spread beyond your pelvic region. In endometriosis, displaced endometrial tissue continues to act as it normally would — it thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. Because this displaced tissue has no way to exit your body, it becomes trapped. When endometriosis involves the ovaries, cysts called endometriomas may form. Surrounding tissue can become irritated, eventually developing scar tissue and adhesions — abnormal tissue that binds organs together. Endometriosis can cause pain — sometimes severe — especially during your period. Fertility problems also may develop. Fortunately, effective treatments ...
