Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
The development of an allergic constitution is primarily due to a combination of multiple factors. Genetic factors play a significant role in the formation of allergic constitutions; individuals with a family history of allergies are more likely to have an allergic constitution. Environmental factors also play a crucial role, as numerous chemicals, air pollution, dust, and other allergens in modern society increase the body's sensitivity to these substances. Additionally, abnormal immune responses are also a key cause of allergic constitutions; the immune system overreacts to certain harmless substances, triggering allergic symptoms. The formation of an allergic constitution is the result of interactions between genetic, environmental, and immune system factors.
