What causes tongue tip ulcers?

Tongue tip ulcer is a disease that currently has no exact cause. Tongue tip ulcers include many factors, such as decreased immunity, genetic diseases, and infectious factors, which may all cause tongue lesions and ulcers. Patients usually need to carefully determine what the problem is that causes tongue ulcers. Only when the cause of the disease is found can it be treated according to the factors to prevent unnecessary complications.

Digestive diseases and disorders

Patients with systemic diseases are prone to oral ulcers, mainly by affecting the immune system. Oral ulcers are related to gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, regional enteritis, hepatitis, etc. Studies have shown that 30%-48% of patients with oral ulcers have digestive tract diseases, such as abdominal distension, diarrhea or constipation. More than 9% of them have gastrointestinal ulcers.

Endocrine changes

Some female patients often experience it during menstruation, which may be related to the decrease in estrogen levels in the body. Some women will experience oral ulcers during their menstrual period or before and after their menstrual period. Medication can only provide temporary relief, and the ulcers will reappear during the next menstrual period, causing unbearable pain. At the same time, they are often accompanied by annoying symptoms such as dry mouth, irritability, irritability, and dry stools. Clinical studies have found that oral ulcers during menstruation are mainly caused by increased progesterone levels and decreased estrogen (progesterone, etc.) levels in the body.

Psychological factors

Some patients become ill when they are under mental stress, mood swings, or have poor sleep, which may be related to autonomic dysfunction.

Genetic factors

If both parents suffer from recurrent oral ulcers, about 80-90% of their children will suffer from the disease. If one of the parents has the disease, about 50-60% of their children will suffer from the disease.
