Immunodepression

Immunodepression is the weakening of the body's immune system, which is the body's natural defence system against infection and disease. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic illness, certain medications, or changes in lifestyle. It can also be caused by a genetic condition. When the immune system is weakened, it is less able to fight off infections and diseases, leaving the person more vulnerable to illness. This can lead to frequent, severe, and/or prolonged illnesses, infections, and complications. It can also affect the body's ability to heal itself or recover from injury or surgery. Immunodepression can be treated with medications that boost the immune system, such as immunomodulators or immunosuppressants. Other treatments can include lifestyle changes, such as getting enough rest and exercise, eating a healthy diet, avoiding stress, and limiting exposure to toxins. In some cases, a medical procedure, such as a bone marrow transplant, may be necessary. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing frequent or severe illnesses or infections, as these could be a sign of immunodepression. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to reduce the risk of serious complications.
