🇪🇸 Descripción en español / Spanish Description

Traduzca el siguiente texto del inglés al español:

Espondilitis anquilosante (EA) es una enfermedad crónica que puede provocar dolor y rigidez en la columna vertebral, cadera, codo, muñeca o rodilla. Puede afectar también a otros órganos, como los ojos u otros tejidos del organismo. Los síntomas pueden empezar entre los 10 y los 30 años de edad y la enfermedad puede progresar durante décadas.

Anquilosis significa «endurecimiento». La EA causa que las articulaciones se vuelvan duras, lo cual afecta al movimiento. En ciertos casos, la EA puede provocar la formación de quistes o abscesos en los pulmones.

La causa exacta de la EA es desconocida. Sin embargo, parece que las personas con EA tienen un sistema inmunológico hiperactivo que ataca a sus propias articulaciones por error. Se cree que factores genéticos, medioambientales y/o virales influyen en el desarrollo de la enfermedad.

La EA no se puede curar, pero los tratamientos pueden aliviar los síntomas y prevenir la aparición de complicaciones. Es importante mantener un estilo de vida saludable, realizar ejercicio físico regularmente y estar al tanto de cualquier cambio en el cuerpo. – Spanish translation
