About 20% of the population suffers from common recurrent oral ulcers, which are round or oval in shape and have clear boundaries. 80% of patients have ulcers with a diameter of less than 5 mm, which take 7 to 14 days to heal. Larger ulcers are rare and require weeks or months to heal, leaving scars. In addition, there are also classified herpetic ulcers, which require 1 month to heal.
According to Japan's "Medical Tribune" (June 7, 2001), the cause of oral ulcers is unknown, and the causes of some patients are related to stress, trauma, smoking cessation, menstruation, and food allergies. There is no special examination method, and diagnosis can only rely on typical symptoms and disease history. However, differential diagnosis must not be ignored for this reason. In addition to iron, folic acid, and VitB12 deficiencies, immune disorders such as chronic inflammatory bowel disease, HIV infection, and neutropenia should also be considered. In addition, systemic diseases and skin diseases such as leukemia, lupus erythematosus, and Behcet's disease (see picture) should also be excluded. Anticancer and antithyroid drugs may also produce mouth sores.
A single chronic ulcer should raise suspicion of oral cancer. Oral ulcers may also appear as accompanying symptoms in children with periodic fever, pharyngitis, hand, foot and mouth disease and infectious mononucleosis.

Mental factors: Some patients develop symptoms due to mental stress, mood swings, and poor sleep, which may be related to autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
Genetic factors: If both parents suffer from recurrent oral ulcers, about 80-90% of their children will suffer from the disease. If one parent suffers from this disease, about 50-60% of their children will suffer from the disease. Sick.
Other factors: Such as lack of trace elements zinc, iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, etc., which can reduce immune function and increase the possibility of recurrent oral ulcers.

At the same time, they are often accompanied by oral ulcers. Troubling symptoms such as dryness, irritability, irritability, and dry and hard stools. Clinical studies have found that oral ulcers during menstruation are mainly caused by the increase in progesterone levels and the decrease in estrogen (progesterone, etc.) levels in the body.
Oral ulcers are common and dangerous
Oral ulcers are a common symptom in daily life, and a person will encounter them more or less in his life. Usually, oral ulcers can heal on their own by resting, adjusting their diet, and keeping their bowels smooth. Some patients only need local medication or a few Chinese medicines to heal. Generally, there will be no serious adverse consequences for the whole body.
However, if one or several oral ulcers recur or even occur one after another, are unbearably painful, or are accompanied by ulcers in other parts of the body (such as vulvar ulcers), you should pay great attention to it, because this recurring ulcer is likely to be Warning signs of Behcet's disease, an immune disease.
Behcet's disease is also called Behcet's syndrome or eye, mouth, and genital syndrome. Clinically, the triad of oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and iridocyclitis is more common. The eye symptoms are diverse and can manifest as blurred vision, vision loss, eye pain, photophobia, tearing, foreign body sensation and floaters, etc. In severe cases, it can lead to blindness. In addition, there are post-pinhole reaction and so on. If you lack an overall understanding of the disease, you may describe each symptom to doctors from different specialties when seeking medical treatment. This often leads to a situation of "treating the head if you have a headache, and treating the feet if you feel pain", and the opportunity to receive the best treatment plan will be lost.
Behcet's disease has been around since ancient times and can affect both men and women. It can occur at all ages, but is more common after the age of 35. Its occurrence and development are closely related to abnormal immune function. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "fox confusion" and points out that "erosion in the throat is confusion, and erosion in the yin is fox". The occurrence of this disease is closely related to liver and kidney deficiency, qi and yin deficiency, exogenous dampness and heat, etc. Over time, dampness and heat compete with qi and blood, and dampness, poison, and stasis are cemented with each other, causing the disease to relapse and be delayed and difficult to recover.
Over the years, based on the traditional theory and clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, the acute attack and remission phases of Beh?et's disease have been treated with treatments such as clearing away heat and detoxifying, clearing away dampness and heat, detoxifying and unblocking the meridians, and Treatment methods such as replenishing qi and nourishing yin, tonifying the liver and kidneys, etc. have shown that traditional Chinese medicine can not only control the recurrence of ulcers, but also regulate immune function.

Clinical practice has proven that when Chinese medicines are used externally or internally to treat Behcet's disease, the frequency, number of ulcers, and pain intensity can be relieved in about a month. Continuing to treat Beh?et's disease with Chinese medicines for several months can further control the condition.
In addition to drug treatment, you should also pay attention to oral hygiene, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less grilled, fried and greasy foods, and avoid spicy and hot foods such as peppers, raw onions, ginger, and garlic. , cigarettes, alcohol, mutton, etc. Avoid fatigue and keep a happy mood and smooth bowel movements.

Oral ulcers are the most common disease of the oral mucosa, and its incidence is second only to dental caries and periodontal disease among oral diseases. Occupy third place.
Iron and zinc deficiency in the body can also cause ulcers.
Recurrent oral ulcers are polygenic genetic diseases. When the body suffers from gastrointestinal dysfunction, menstrual disorders, lack of trace elements such as iron and zinc, mental stress, fatigue or colds, oral ulcers will be induced, so vitamin B2 treatment alone is ineffective.

Cabbage root therapy: Take 60 grams of cabbage root, 15 grams of garlic sprouts, and 10 jujubes, decoct them in water, and take them 1 or 2 times a day to treat oral ulcers.
Rapeseed therapy: Take 30 grams of white radish seeds, 30 grams of mustard seeds, and 15 grams of scallions, mash them together, and apply them to the soles of the feet. Once a day, it can cure oral ulcers.
Apple therapy: Cut an apple (a pear is also acceptable) into slices and place it in a container. Add cold water (covering the apple or pear to be cooked) and heat it until it boils. Wait for it to cool down slightly before adding it to the wine. Hold it in your mouth for a while and then eat it. Use it for a few days to cure the disease.
Walnut shell therapy: Boil 30-50 grams of walnuts in water twice and take it once in the morning and once in the evening.
