Overview

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease that is manifested by formation of painful nodules, abscesses and suppurating fistulas, primarily in the intertriginous spaces. This painful, often under-diagnosed disease affects much more women. They are also exposed to certain specific challenges in the management of this disease, especially during menstruation or pregnancy. The treatment requires the interdisciplinary cooperation of a dermatologist, gynaecologist, obstetrician and last but not least an algesiologist and psychotherapist. Above all, early and correct diagnosis, initiation of therapy in the early stages of the disease, is a key, which also plays a fundamental role in controlling inflammatory activity, preventing complications and further prognosis.
