Mouth ulcers, also known as aphthous ulcers, are ulcerative lesions at the site of the oral mucosa. Once the disease occurs, there will be some round ulcer spots on the inside of the patient's lips, on the surface of the tongue, etc., accompanied by a very obvious pain.
In general, mouth ulcers can heal themselves in a week or so, but many people will have repeated mouth ulcers, which seriously affects the normal life and health of patients. So there are many people who want to know why they are particularly prone to mouth ulcers.
What are the causes of recurrent mouth ulcers?
First, the mental pressure for a long time is too great
One of the main causes of mouth ulcers and the recurrence of mouth ulcers is related to excessive mental stress.
For example, student families, white-collar workers, and young mothers who have given birth, these groups of people have to face the pressure of study, work, life, emotions and other aspects every day, which will make the spirit in a state of anxiety, tension, depression and irritability for a long time.
The internal environment of the body will always be in an emergency state, which will cause the immune system to be abnormal, and the probability of mouth ulcers will be particularly high.
Second, the lack of nutrients in the body
If there is a more obvious phenomenon of partial eating in the daily diet, such as eating only some meat or sweets, it will make the body lack of various vitamins.
Especially when the body lacks vitamin B, the integrity of the skin and mucous membrane will be destroyed, and if the body lacks a series of mineral elements such as folic acid, zinc, iron, etc., it will make the division and regeneration of cells be greatly affected.
The synthesis of digestive mucus proteins in the oral mucosa is also greatly reduced, resulting in the recurrence of mouth ulcers.
In addition, there are many women who are worried about getting fat, so they only eat very little food when eating daily, such as only eating some boiled vegetables and boiled fruits.
This can lead to a lack of a large amount of protein and some other nutrients in the body, and it will also lead to a decrease in the body's immune function. The ability of cells to divide and regenerate is affected, making mouth ulcers recurrent and difficult to heal.
Third, the oral mucosa suffers from long-term trauma
If you particularly like to eat some high-temperature foods and drinks in your daily life, such as spicy hot pot, hot pot, hot soup, hot porridge, hot tea, it will cause some burns to the oral mucosa for a long time.
Although the oral mucosa is self-healing, repeated burns can induce inflammation and ulcers.
In addition, if you eat faster, or especially like to eat some shelled seafood, as well as potato chips and other sharp foods, the oral mucosa will also suffer from long-term scratches, and induce the recurrence of mouth ulcers.
Fourth, the body's immunity is reduced
If there is a sudden increase in stress or long-term mental stress, lack of sleep, cold body, and long-term suffering from some digestive tract, metabolism and other chronic diseases, the body's immunity will decline.
Once the immunity is reduced, the antiviral ability of the oral mucosa will decrease, and it is easy to induce mouth ulcers due to infection with bacteria. And because the decline in immunity will cause a large amount of immune proteins in the body to be consumed, it will also lead to the recurrence of mouth ulcers.
All in all, the causes of repeated mouth ulcers are related to the above 4 factors. In addition, if women have repeated mouth ulcers, and will be accompanied by a series of symptoms such as decreased skin elasticity, rapid aging, repeated insomnia, bone soreness, etc., it is very likely to be related to decreased estrogen.
Therefore, when this situation occurs repeatedly, it is necessary to quickly go to the hospital for treatment, according to the cause and corresponding treatment, and do a good job of daily diet, work and rest, mentality and other aspects of conditioning, in order to effectively prevent the recurrence of mouth ulcers.
