Reactive Arthritis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
If pain and inflammation appear in the joints after an infection, it is worth evaluating it with a rheumatologist, a specialist who studies conditions such as reactive arthritis.
Reactive arthritis is an inflammation of the joints that arises as the body's response to an infection that occurred in another part of the body, frequently intestinal or urinary.
Common symptoms: Joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, which are sometimes accompanied by discomfort in the eyes or the urinary tract.
When to seek care? It is advisable to consult when joint pain persists, limits movement, or appears shortly after an infection.
The rheumatologist, with support from the internist or the general practitioner, can provide guidance on how to approach this condition appropriately.
