It usually takes 3 5 years for the symptoms to appear on the body, after getting infected by the bacteria of leprosy. In some cases reported by the medical anthropologists, onset followed only after 20 years. Leprosy thus has a long incubation period which makes it difficult for the patient as well as the doctor to determine the exact time when the person got infected. According to the US CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the symptoms of leprosy can be mainly found on the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes.
(A) Symptoms found on the skin are:
Nodules on the skin Dark patch on the skin or sometimes multiple dark patches on the skin area. Thick, faded, stiff, and dry skin area Painless ulcers on the soles of the feet on the face and on the earlobes, usually painless in natureSwelling Loss of eyelashes and eyebrows (B) Symptoms related to nerve damage are:
Numbness in the affected areas Weak muscles Paralysis (mostly in the feet and hands) Enlarged nerves Eye problems which may lead to glaucoma and blindness Infertility in males (C) Symptoms related to the mucous membranes are:
Bleeding of the nose A stuffy nose When leprosy affects the nerves, a loss of sensation can be noticed. Due to the loss of sensation, injuries such as burns cannot be sensed by the affected person. In the absence of proper muscle coordination, the skin and bones of the body of patient tend to take the full weight of the patient s body, that s why feet are extremely vulnerable. If it is left untreated, the following signs and symptoms may be noticed:
The crippling of hands and feet Shortening of fingers and toes due to reabsorption Paralysis Blindness Chronic ulcers on the sole of the feet Permanent loss of eyelashes and eyebrows Disfigurement of the nose. Some other complications which may occur in rare cases are:
Painful nerves Pain and redness all over or in the affected area Burning sensation on the skin According to Talhari et al. (2015), the secondary infections (caused by bacterial and viral infections through injuries unnoticed) can cause tissue loss and shortage of the feet and toes due to cartilage absorption in the body. Around 30% of the people affected with leprosy experiencing nerve damage can be treated in the early stages, but, if treatment is delayed, this may become permanent, causing various body abnormalities","dateCreated":"","author":{"@type":"Physician","name":"Dr.Sanjeev Kumar Singh","medicalSpecialty":"Ayurvedic Doctor","image":"https://assets.lybrate.com/img/documents/doctor/dp/bd61ff467f23e7052f5c15d0b1aa2af9/Ayurveda-SanjeevKumarSingh-Lakhimpur-Kheri-f5c6dd","url":"https://www.lybrate.com/lakhimpur-kheri/doctor/dr-sanjeev-kumar-singh-ayurveda"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"LikeAction","userInteractionCount":"0"}}},{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Question","text":"Causes And Symptoms Of Androphobia!","answerCount":null,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","upvoteCount":"0","text":"Androphobia can be described as the unfounded and often overstressed fear of men. This phobia can affect both the genders, though younger females are more known to suffer from this kind of phobia.
Causes and origin: Many psychoanalysts are of the opinion that women who had been victims of sexual assault or any kind of male aggression are more prone to androphobia. An unsympathetic and rude father figure can trigger this phobia in both the sexes. Many young girls are taught by their parents or caregiver to stay away from the opposite sex this can also instil a sense of fear for men in the young mind.
Symptoms: Intense and irrational fear of men is one of the commonest manifestations of this phobia. In many cases, the individual might experience disturbing thoughts about being assailed by men. In spite of realizing that the fear is unfounded, they still avoid any kind of association with men. In some cases, the person is extremely panicky and alert in presence of men. Extreme cases of androphobia are characterized by panic accompanied with tremors, increased heartbeat, dizziness, nausea, stomach ache and chest ache.
Androphobia and sex life: Androphobia can gravely affect the personal life of an individual particularly his/her sex life. Androphobic women intentionally keep away from male company which definitely has a negative impact on their sex life. Even mildly androphobic women are known to feel uncomfortable while talking to men. The androphobics are generally depressed individuals who prefer to keep to themselves. In spite of having feelings for a man or having the urge to have sex, an androphobic woman will hardly be able to convey her feeling because of her intense fear of manliness. The loneliness and alienation which is associated with this kind of phobia often prompts a woman to contemplate suicide.
Treatment: As with most other phobias, androphobia is also a curable condition. Your psychiatrist can suggest various medications and psychotherapies to cure your condition. The exposure therapy in which the phobic is slowly exposed to the much feared subject is known to work well in many cases. The CBT or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is another treatment for androphobia where counselling sessions are conducted so that the phobic can express and share her nature of phobia. During the sessions, the counsellor suggests ways of dealing with the phobia and keeping it under control. The objective of the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is to recognize the pessimistic images related to men and turn them into positive ones. When none of these therapies work, the psychiatrist usually suggests anti-anxiety and anti depressant medications which improve the temperament of the androphobic.","dateCreated":"","author":{"@type":"Physician","name":"Dr.Vikas Deshmukh","medicalSpecialty":"Sexologist","image":"https://assets.lybrate.com/img/documents/doctor/dp/6aa620ede3cf49897c8a660bc015c36e/Sexology-VikasDeshmukh-Navi-Mumbai-b2916b","url":"https://www.lybrate.com/navi-mumbai/doctor/dr-vikas-deshmukh-psychiatrist-1"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"LikeAction","userInteractionCount":"0"}}},{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Question","text":"Symptoms of Anxiety","answerCount":null,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","upvoteCount":"0","text":"Rumination of thoughts about future Motor restlessness like unable to sit in a place, fidgeting etc, Headache, neck pain.
