Oral mucosal diseases refer to lesions that develop in a certain part of the oral mucosa after illness. These lesions may manifest as changes in color, shape, integrity, and function. The disease significantly impacts the patient's life. Some oral mucosal diseases are also complications of systemic diseases, so it's important to check for other underlying conditions.
So, what are the causes of oral mucosal lesions?
1. Genetic factors
Some oral mucosal diseases are influenced by genetic factors. If there is a family history of oral mucosal diseases, it's important to monitor newborns for the presence of disease-causing genes and observe for any early signs. A family history of genetic predisposition indicates a higher risk, so it's important to avoid external factors that could trigger the disease.
2. Endocrine disorders
Long-term sleep deprivation, significant emotional fluctuations, or menopausal changes can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to hormonal imbalances and metabolic fluctuations. This may cause changes in the oral mucosa, potentially developing into oral mucosal diseases. It's important to avoid significant emotional stress, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to ensure endocrine balance.
3. External infections
As the entrance to the digestive tract, the mouth is exposed to numerous bacteria and viruses. Without proper oral hygiene, bacteria can proliferate, especially if oral ulcers or injuries to the oral mucosa occur, providing an entry point for infection. Therefore, maintaining good oral hygiene and promptly treating oral ulcers with proper disinfection is crucial.
4. Psychological factors
Studies show that patients with a history of oral mucosal diseases may experience recurrence when under significant work or life stress, or after experiencing a major psychological shock. Therefore, patients with a history of oral mucosal diseases should focus on stress management and avoid excessive emotional burden.
What are the symptoms of oral mucosal lesions?
1. Oral ulceration
Without timely treatment, oral mucosal diseases can lead to the proliferation of bacteria, causing extensive ulceration of the oral mucosa.
2. Oral inflammation
Oral mucosal diseases can cause inflammation, leading to swelling of the oral mucosa and its appendages. Severe cases may result in difficulty speaking and swallowing.
3. Oral pain
Most oral mucosal diseases cause mucosal rupture, with severe cases resulting in extensive ulceration and significant pain, making even speaking painful.
