Symptoms of Reactive Arthritis

Reactive arthritis is a type of arthritis that develops in response to an infection in another part of the body. It typically affects the joints, eyes, and urinary and genital tracts. The most common symptoms of reactive arthritis include:

Joint Pain and Swelling: Joint pain and swelling are the most common and most noticeable symptoms of reactive arthritis. The swelling and pain usually affect the knees, ankles, hips, and feet. It can also affect the hands, wrists, and elbows.

Eye Inflammation: Eye inflammation, known as uveitis, is an associated symptom of reactive arthritis. It can cause blurred vision, eye pain, light sensitivity, and redness.

Genital or Urinary Tract Symptoms: Reactive arthritis can cause inflammation of the genitals and urinary tract. This can cause pain and burning during urination, discharge from the penis or vagina, and pain during sex.

The three most common symptoms of reactive arthritis are joint pain and swelling, inflammation of the eyes, and inflammation of the urogenital tract. Joint pain and swelling usually affect the knees, ankles, or feet, and can cause stiffness and difficulty in movement. Inflammation of the eyes can lead to redness, pain, and sensitivity to light. Lastly, inflammation of the urogenital tract can cause pain while urinating, discharge, and frequent urges to urinate. It is important to seek medical attention if any of these symptoms are experienced.

The three main symptoms of reactive arthritis are joint pain, eye inflammation, and urogenital tract inflammation.

Joint pain is the most common symptom of reactive arthritis and is usually the first symptom to appear. The pain is usually felt in the knees, ankles, feet, and wrists, and it can range from mild to severe. It may come and go or be constant and can be accompanied by swelling, redness, and stiffness.

Eye inflammation is another symptom of reactive arthritis. This symptom can manifest as redness, swelling, and pain in the eyes. People may also experience a burning sensation or blurred vision.

Urogenital tract inflammation is the third symptom of reactive arthritis. This symptom manifests as pain in the lower abdomen, a burning sensation when urinating, and pain during sexual intercourse. It can also lead to discharge from the penis or vagina.

These are the three main symptoms of reactive arthritis. If any of these symptoms are present, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the cause and get treatment as soon as possible.
