If the oral ulcer occurs repeatedly, we should be alert to Behcet's disease. If the pain is unbearable or accompanied by ulcers in other parts (such as vulvar ulcer), we should attach great importance to it, because this recurrent ulcer is likely to be a warning signal of Behcet's disease, an immune disease.
Behcet's disease is also called Behcet's syndrome or eye, mouth, genital syndrome. Clinically, oral ulcer and iridocyclitis triad are common. Among them, eye symptoms are various, including blurred vision, vision loss, eyeball pain, photophobia and tears, foreign body sensation and flying mosquito disease, etc., which can lead to blindness in severe cases. In addition, there are post needle eye reactions. If there is a lack of overall understanding of the disease, the symptoms may be described separately to different specialists when seeking medical treatment, which often leads to the situation of "treating the head with headache, treating the foot with pain", and losing the opportunity to receive the best treatment plan.
According to the traditional theory and clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, according to different types of symptoms, the acute attack stage and remission stage of Behcet's disease were treated by clearing away heat and detoxification, clearing dampness and heat, detoxification and dredging pulse, supplementing qi and nourishing Yin, tonifying liver and kidney. The results showed that traditional Chinese medicine could not only control the recurrence of ulcer, but also regulate immune function.
