Introduction

Introduction Oral ulcer: also known as recurrent aphthous ulcer, is a recurrent oral mucosal disease. It is characterized by repeated attacks, burning and unbearable, and can cause a variety of complications. Dialectical discussion of Chinese medicine: recurrent oral ulcers are caused by internal injuries, weak body, and six senses of external sensation, resulting in liver qi stagnation, stagnation and heat, heart fire, stagnation of stomach fire, heart and kidney not paying, virtual fire On the inflammation and fumigation in the mouth and the disease. To cure this disease, you must be treated radically. The hospital expert group, after long-term clinical treatment and research, scientifically adopts a series of therapies such as sputum, spleen and stomach, stagnation and stagnation of the muscles to relieve the pain of the majority of patients, so that patients with recurrent oral ulcers no longer suffer from the risk of ulceration and malignant transformation. .

Cause

Cause

Modern medicine believes that recurrent oral ulcers are first closely related to immunity. Some patients show immunodeficiency, and some patients show autoimmune reactions, that is, due to various factors, the normal immune system of the human body, the immune response to the self-organized antigen, and the destruction of the tissue. Secondly, it is related to heredity. In clinical practice, the incidence of recurrent oral ulcers has obvious family genetic predisposition. We often see that if one or more parents have recurrent oral ulcers, then their children are more common than ordinary people. More susceptible to illness. In addition, the onset of recurrent oral ulcers is often associated with some diseases or symptoms, such as digestive system diseases, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, chronic or protracted hepatitis, colitis, etc., anemia, partial eclipse, indigestion, diarrhea , fever, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, nervousness, stress at work, changes in the menstrual cycle, and so on. As one or more factors are active, alternating, and overlapping, the body's immunity declines, and immune dysfunction causes frequent episodes of recurrent oral ulcers.
