Benefits of getting an allergy test
The prevalence of allergies in Japan is hay fever (cedar pollen allergy), with approximately 2 in 3-1 people*, about 3 in 4 to 1 people suffer from allergic rhinitis*It is said that one in two people (about 50%) in Japan suffers from some kind of allergy, and this rate is especially high in urban areas.
For this reason, it is important for many people to undergo allergy testing, and the specific benefits include the following:
1. Identify the cause of allergies
It can clarify the cause of allergy symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy skin, coughing, difficulty breathing, etc.). For example, it can identify which allergens (pollen, dust mites, food, animals, etc.) are causing the symptoms.*You can determine whether it is affecting you through testing.
- Substances that cause allergies
2.Appropriate measures can be taken
Once you know your allergens, you can take specific steps to avoid them. For example, if you have hay fever, you can avoid going outside on days when there is a lot of pollen, and if you have a food allergy, you can avoid foods that are dangerous to you.
3. You can decide on a treatment plan
Once your allergies are identified, treatment options appropriate to your allergies (selection of oral medications, immunotherapy, etc.) can be determined.
4.It can prevent severe allergic reactions.
If you have a risk of anaphylactic shock, such as due to food or drug allergies, you can take appropriate measures by getting tested in advance to prevent serious allergic reactions.
5. It will help you to clarify whether you have an allergy or not.
Allergy symptoms can be similar to those of a cold or other illness, so it is possible to confirm whether allergies are really the cause. For example, there are cases where "chronic rhinitis is actually allergic rhinitis." Even if you think you have allergies, but are not sure, you can get tested to determine whether the cause of your symptoms is allergies.
