Overview

What Is Scleroderma?

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that deals particularly with the connective tissues. These connective tissues act like glue between our cells and can be found at almost all parts of our bodies. Since it is an autoimmune disease, it is characterized by having the body’s immune system attack itself instead of protecting it, causing the development of scar tissue and the limiting of the functions of some of the affected organs.

Who Can Get It?

As of this time, Scleroderma is four times more likely to appear in women than it is in men. It is also inherent in the Native American Choctaw tribe and in African American women. Scleroderma rarely appears in children.

Medical experts have some theories regarding the causes of it. One would be that it is genetic or is a result of heredity or genetic defects. Some would also say that it is environmental, that it is caused by unwanted substances in the environment such as bacteria and viruses. Since one of the most common category for victims of scleroderma are mostly females between the ages 30 and 50, a theory also said that the fetal matter that is left over after pregnancy can cause scleroderma, even after years of giving birth.
