How to diagnose and treat allergies?
For some reason, we do not consider one disease to be a full-fledged disease, despite the fact that up to 60% of the population of megacities suffer from it. It's about allergies.
This word broke into our everyday life quickly, and now, unfortunately, most people know firsthand its meaning. Some have relatives with allergies, others work with allergic colleagues and sincerely sympathize with their health problems. Their condition requires qualified, effective, and most importantly, quick help.
Why do allergies occur?
Allergic diseases are based on an incorrect response of the human immune system to a foreign agent. Allergology and immunology go side by side, because it is the violation of the immune sphere that leads to the development of allergic diseases.
Immune disorders often lead to the fact that instead of protecting our body, harmful allergic reactions develop.
It would be wrong to talk about allergies as a single disease - rather, it is a group of diseases in which the body gives an incorrect immunological response to stimuli, therefore, in order to correctly prescribe allergy treatment, it is necessary to conduct a complete examination, identify the allergen and the root cause of the disease.
Diagnostic possibilities in SOVA clinic
The diagnostic laboratory of the SOVA clinic is equipped with the latest modern equipment, which makes it possible to determine a wide range of both individual allergens and mixtures of allergens in the blood within 1-2 days. This method has a number of advantages: it is absolutely safe for the patient, allows you to simultaneously examine a large number of allergens, carry out diagnostics in a continuously relapsing course of the disease or during an exacerbation, without requiring the abolition of antiallergic drugs.
In our laboratory, for a complete diagnosis of more than 30 infectious parasitic, viral, fungal diseases, you can take blood tests to determine antibodies and antigens of pathogens in the blood, as well as biomaterial (blood, urine, feces, urogenital scraping) for the presence of DNA, RNA of infectious pathogens by PCR , including tests that are rare for our medicine (determination of pathogens of tuberculosis, adenoviruses, chlamydia pneumonia, etc.).
Taking into account the polymorphism of the clinical picture of allergies, in the medical clinic "SOVA" we have the opportunity to provide you with advice from doctors of related specialties - a dermatologist, an otolaryngologist, an ophthalmologist, and a general practitioner. Often, diagnostics reveals the causes of allergies that are unexpected for patients. For example, concomitant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, and various infections can contribute to the development of chronic urticaria.
Everything in the body is interconnected, and competent examination and treatment are always based on a systematic approach.
Taking into account the examination, the allergist-immunologist will draw up an individual comprehensive treatment program for you and, which is very important, a monitoring and prevention program, tell you how to change your lifestyle, and select a suitable dietary option for you.

Benefits of visiting the SOVA clinic
✔ Experienced specialists of all profiles.
✔ All types of laboratory research.
✔ Pre-registration at a convenient time.
Allergology is closely related to immunology, as both disciplines deal with the study of immune system malfunctions. The difference lies in the fact that an allergist specializes in cases where the body's response is inadequate to an external stimulus, and an immunologist reveals pathologies of the immune system.
Allergy refers to hereditary pathological processes, and it is especially important to identify it in children, as it can lead to serious consequences. Allergic diseases and reactions are manifested by various symptoms ranging from watery eyes and runny nose to swelling of the internal organs.
At the heart of all manifestations is the increased sensitivity of the body to substances that are absolutely safe for other people: food, plant pollen, animal hair.
Modern advances in science and medicine allow not only to reduce the frequency of exacerbations, but also to correct the immune system.
When to contact an allergist
If you have the following symptoms:
- redness, eye irritation;
- tearing;
- coryza without symptoms of a cold and recurring at the same time of the year;
- shortness of breath, shortness of breath, an attack of asphyxia;
- itching, redness of the skin, suspicious rashes;
- swelling of the eyes, tongue, lips, neck;
- pain and inflammation of the joints;
- decreased muscle tone;
- sleep disorder;
- loss of working capacity;
- frequent respiratory illnesses.
In addition, you should consult a specialist if you notice an inadequate reaction when eating certain foods, when using cosmetics or household chemicals, to insect bites, or when in contact with animals.
How is the appointment
To accurately determine the causes of the disease, you need to analyze a large amount of information. Therefore, the consultation begins with a questioning of the patient, which includes information about the symptoms of the disease, the circumstances of their occurrence, in particular, after the use of any products. Before the visit, it is advisable to remember all the details in order to concisely state them in the office. If you have previously passed the examination, then take the documents with you. Do not be surprised if the allergist asks you about working and living conditions, as they have a great influence on the development of allergic reactions.
After a visual examination, the doctor will draw up a study plan, if necessary, refer to specialists of a different profile.
With the results of the tests on hand, it will be possible to make a final diagnosis and select an individual treatment regimen.
