SCURVY DISEASE | स्कर्वी रोग क्या है?
Scurvy is caused by not having enough vitamin C in your diet for at least 3 months. 
Vitamin C is mainly found in fruit and vegetables. 
Even people who don't eat very healthily all the time aren't usually considered at risk of scurvy.

SCURVY CAUSES
Scurvy is a disease caused by severe and chronic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency. 
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid and ascorbate, is a vitamin found in various foods and sold as a dietary supplement. 
It is used to prevent and treat scurvy.

SCURVY SIGN AND SYMPTOMS

Loose teeth.
Bulging eyes (proptosis)
Bleeding into the skin (severe and easy bruising)
Scaly, dry and brownish skin.
Very dry hair that curls and breaks off close to the skin.

SCURVY DIAGNOSIS
Your healthcare providers will ask you following questions
About your dietary history, 
Check for signs & symptoms
Order a blood test. 
The blood test will be used to check the levels of vitamin C in your blood serum

SCURVY PREVENTION
Scurvy can be prevented by a diet that includes vitamin C-rich foods such as amla, bell peppers (sweet peppers), blackcurrants, broccoli, chili peppers, guava, kiwifruit, and parsley. 
Other sources rich in vitamin C are fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, papaya, and strawberries.

SCURVY TREATMENT
Scurvy is easily treated by adding some vitamin C to your diet, such as fresh fruit and vegetables. 
Doctors may also recommend taking vitamin C supplements until you feel better.
