Due to various factors, I believe that many people often have oral ulcers, so what causes frequent oral ulcers? What are the reasons? Let's take you to understand.
1. Digestive system diseases and functional disorders
Such as abdominal distension, diarrhea or constipation.
2. Endocrine changes
Some female patients often occur during menstruation, which may be related to the decrease of estrogen in the body. Some women will have oral ulcers every menstrual period or before and after menstruation, which can only be temporarily relieved by medication. They will continue to appear during menstruation next month, with unbearable pain. At the same time, they are often accompanied by annoying symptoms such as dry mouth, upset, irritability and dry stool. Clinical studies have found that oral ulcer during menstruation is mainly due to the increase of progesterone level and the decrease of estrogen (progesterone, etc.).
3. Mental factors
Some patients suffer from mental tension, mood swings and poor sleep, which may be related to autonomic nerve dysfunction.
4. Genetic factors
If both parents suffer from recurrent oral ulcer, about 80-90% of their children are ill. If one of the parents suffers from this disease, about 50-60% of their children are ill.
5. Other factors
For example, lack of trace elements such as zinc, iron, folic acid, vitamin B12 and malnutrition can reduce immune function and increase the possibility of recurrent oral ulcer.
1. Body immunity
Oral ulcer brings great pain and inconvenience to patients' life and work. At the same time, frequent and repeated attacks will directly affect the immune function of patients;
2. Endocrine disorders
Oral ulcer causes metabolic disorder, endocrine disorder, fever, headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, vision loss, eye pain, flying mosquito disease, lymphadenopathy and other systemic symptoms, which can lead to blindness in severe cases;
3. Malignant transformation of organs
Oral ulcer can also cause multiple ulcers of skin, joints, internal organs and perineum, recurrent pigment membrane lesions and other systemic symptoms, and even malignant transformation;
4. Induce Behcet's disease
One or several oral ulcers occur repeatedly, even one after another, with unbearable pain or accompanied by ulcers in other parts (such as vulvar ulcer). This recurrent oral ulcer may be a warning signal of Behcet's disease.
5. Cancer risk
Oral ulcer can not be cured for a long time, which is likely to lead to oral cancer and cause great harm to the patient's health.
1. Suitable food
Choice of meat, egg and milk: pork, pig liver, egg yolk, chicken, duck and oyster are rich in vitamin B2, which can promote ulcer healing and maintain the integrity of mucous membrane.
The choice of vegetables: celery, lettuce, spinach, rape, chrysanthemum, lotus root, etc. are cold in nature and can keep the stool unobstructed.
2. Nutrition principle
(1) ensure the intake of B vitamins.
(2) ensuring the intake of high-quality protein is an essential nutrient for the repair of oral ulcer wounds.
(3) eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, supplement vitamins and trace element supplements, which are helpful to the prevention and treatment of oral ulcer.
3. Dietary taboos
(1) avoid irritating condiments, such as pepper, vinegar, ginger, green onion, star anise, etc. These foods will not only induce pain, but also stimulate the ulcer surface and further expand it.
(2) avoid eating rough and hard food, such as fried ribs, fried chicken legs, nuts and so on. Because these hard foods are easy to produce friction on the broken surface and aggravate the disease.
(3) avoid chewing gum, chocolate, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, hot food, spicy barbecue, fried products, etc. These are things that are easy to cause or aggravate oral ulcers.
