A gnawing ulcer

Introduction:

Ulcus rodens (eng. ulcerous atrophy) is a chronic disease that is characterized by damage to the mucous membrane of the mouth and pharynx, followed by the formation of ulcers and ulcerations. This type of disease is often found among adults, especially in people suffering from chronic diseases of the lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract and heart pathologies. In this material we will look at the causes, symptoms, treatment and prevention of Ulcus rodentis.

Causes

The reasons for the formation of Ulcus rodents depend on many factors. To date, scientists have not yet been able to establish a single cause and argue that a combination of several factors leads to the development of peptic ulcer disease. Here are the main ones:

1. Long-term smoking. This factor is accompanied by various pollutants, such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, ammonia, acrolein, etc. Also, frequent alcohol consumption can cause a significant impact on the organs of the respiratory system, which provokes inflammatory processes in the oral mucosa and the body as a whole. 2. Allergy to dentures or filling material. It is also important to note that quite often the occurrence of ulcerative processes is directly related to improper care of diseased teeth, which causes carious areas to appear in the mouth and increases the risk of disease. 3. Long-term use of medications. Some medications can cause allergic reactions and irritation of the oral mucosa. 4. Unfavorable working conditions. A number of occupational diseases that are associated with inhalation of dust and other irritating substances can lead to pathology in the body. For example, professions related to dust and heavy metals, workers in hazardous workshops, the chemical industry, etc. 5. Infectious diseases such as mononucleosis, AIDS and hepatitis. Antibodies from these viruses disrupt the function of the immune system and cause resistance to many antihistamines. Symptoms can develop at different rates and manifest as oral abscesses, sore throats, allergic reactions, etc. 6. Old age. This is due to physiological changes in the body that negatively affect its immunity. In particular, the immune system is affected by infectious agents, and its adaptive abilities are weakened. All this leads to the formation of ulcers or weakening of the mucous surface. 7. Injuries to the mucous membrane, chronic burns from smoking cigarettes, mechanical damage to the salivary ducts during dental procedures, nutritional disorders and much more. 8. Diet. An unbalanced diet, consumption of large amounts of spicy, hot food can also cause ulcers on the oral mucosa or cause metabolic disorders. 9. Oral diseases: caries, periodontitis, gingivitis and others. Contact of pathogens of these pathologies on the mucous membrane causes inflammation and lysis, leading to ulcers. 10. Weakening of the endocrine or nervous system. Consequences of diabetes, hormonal disorders, toxic poisoning, exhaustion, oncology, chronic stress, cardiovascular diseases and a number of others
