About Reiters Syndrome

Reactive arthritis, historically known as Reiter's syndrome, is not a procedure but an autoimmune condition managed by a rheumatologist. It is a form of inflammatory arthritis that typically develops in response to an infection in another part of the body, most commonly the genitourinary or gastrointestinal tract. The hallmark triad of symptoms includes arthritis (joint pain and swelling), conjunctivitis (eye inflammation), and urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). A rheumatologist's role involves a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to confirm the condition and rule out other disorders, followed by the development of a personalized, long-term management plan. This plan focuses on controlling inflammation, relieving pain, preserving joint function, and treating any underlying infection to prevent future flares and potential long-term joint damage.

Unexplained heel pain, lower back pain, or skin rashes (such as keratoderma blennorrhagicum).
Persistent inflammatory symptoms that do not resolve with initial treatment for a suspected infection.

Adherence to prescribed anti-inflammatory and disease-modifying medications is crucial.
Regular follow-up appointments with the rheumatologist to monitor disease activity and adjust treatment.
Engagement in prescribed physical therapy to maintain joint mobility, strength, and function.
Lifestyle adjustments, including rest during flares, gentle exercise, and managing stress.
