Gunter's tongue is a relatively rare disease that affects people between the ages of 20 and 40 and manifests itself as speech impairment. The cause of its occurrence is unknown, but it is known that it is incurable.
The word “language” was not used by chance. It is because of the tongue that many patients believe that they have hearing problems. In reality, the reason lies in speech disorders. A tongue that has lost its normal connection to the brain can move in all directions, like a wounded soldier who has lost control of his movements. Instead of being straight, it tends to bend, constantly deviating and often going behind the teeth. Sometimes the tongue becomes stuck to the roof of the mouth or to the wall of the mouth. The patient can only partially or temporarily service his needs for food and breathing. And all this is accompanied by disturbances in the perception of the surrounding world: sound, taste of food, tactile irritation and other senses.
As the disease progresses, the patients' behavior becomes distracted and aggressive. They often suffer panic attacks and become aggressive or irritable. A distinctive feature of the disorder is that it manifests itself only when stimuli appear; the rest of the time, the manifestations of the disease are invisible.
Prevention. Patients who already suffer from a speech disorder may end up in a wheelchair if they are not treated promptly. Treatment carried out at an early stage of the disease can significantly improve the patient's condition. Medical examination of people at risk may help avoid many problems and complications in the future. Timely detection of disorders will help the doctor select the optimal treatment and reduce the risk of complications. An individual approach to each patient and the choice of treatment suitable for him allow us to achieve significant success. Thanks to the use of unique modern techniques and equipment, it has become possible to minimize negative consequences and complications, if possible excluding surgical treatment, which reduces self-esteem and increases the patient’s degree of constraint and uncertainty about the correctness of actions.
