Causes of oral ulcers

For diseases such as oral ulcers, it may be caused by oral inflammation in the patient. The biggest factor is that the patient does not pay attention to oral hygiene in daily life, so we hope that everyone should brush their teeth diligently in life. Oral ulcers may cause patients to have bad breath, so we recommend that patients should adopt some treatment methods to eliminate the bad breath so as not to affect your communication.

Oral ulcer is one of the common oral diseases currently, also known as "mouth sore", which is a shallow, small, round or oval ulcer. The most common type of mouth ulcer is "recurrent mouth ulcer", which usually occurs on the lips, tongue or other parts of the mouth and recurs frequently.

Recently, through clinical and immunological research, the medical community has determined that the pathogen is viral infection, and the two viruses that cause oral ulcers are human cytomegalovirus and ER virus. Among them, human cytomegalovirus lurks in the T lymphocytes in the blood, and ER virus lurks in the B lymphocytes in the blood. Once people catch a cold, are under great emotional stress, are physically tired or lack energy, or have poor immunity, the virus will break out.

Experts believe that modern people lead stressful lives and suffer from great mental stress, and oral ulcers have become a "disease of civilization" caused by their lifestyle. In fact, according to doctors' clinical observations, many patients with oral ulcers develop the disease after excessive fatigue. In addition, oral ulcers are also believed to be related to factors such as genetics and hormones. For example, oral ulcers in women will worsen before menstruation, and the incidence rate will increase in menopausal women, but the incidence rate is lower in pregnant women. These phenomena all show that the occurrence of ulcers is affected by hormonal changes.

Oral ulcers mostly occur between the ages of 20 and 50. The disease is often accompanied by constipation, bad breath and other symptoms. It is generally believed that mouth ulcers will heal on their own within 7 to 10 days. The problem is that many patients' conditions often recur, sometimes getting better and sometimes getting worse, which affects their diet and daily life and is very distressing. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that to improve recurrent oral ulcers, one should pay attention to smooth bowel movements and adequate sleep, especially smooth bowel movements are an indispensable treatment method in the treatment of recurrent oral ulcers. Naturopathic therapists believe that eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can cleanse the stomach and intestines. At the same time, since oral ulcers may also be caused by a lack of vitamin B2, you can eat more vegetables and wheat germ, and supplement with vitamin C and zinc.

It is relatively simple to treat oral ulcers in our daily life. As long as we choose medicines according to the doctor's advice and develop good living habits in life, the disease can generally disappear. The chance of oral ulcers recurring in life is relatively high, so patients still need to develop good living habits.
