Sore throat and mouth - not negligence

Women are more likely to get mouth sores than men. Sometimes hormonal and sometimes due to malnutrition and lack of vitamins/minerals can cause such problems. This problem often catches our eye, especially in underdeveloped regions where malnutrition is high – but we ignore it. It is not at all right to neglect it - to lead a healthy life.

It is known from the experts - in the life of a woman, there are various fluctuations in the level of hormones. These hormones affect the blood circulation of the oral gums and other tissues.

When the levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones suddenly increase in adolescence, the problem of swelling of the gums, bleeding from the gums, tooth decay etc. can increase. Hormonal fluctuations before and after menstruation can cause swelling of the gums and swelling of the salivary glands. This is called 'menstrual gingivitis'.

Most of the problems occur during pregnancy. At this time, immunity also decreases a little. Apart from that, progesterone levels are very high. Generally, there may be more problems during seven-eight months of pregnancy.

It is not uncommon for people who take birth control pills to have more gum and tooth problems. However, if you are aware, you can avoid these problems.

Many are used to using betel, tobacco etc. These can cause sores in the mouth and even lead to cancer. Oral cancer is one of the cancers in women. This cancer can be easily prevented if you give up these habits.

Apart from this, anemia, lack of vitamin B, malnutrition etc. are more common in woman. Due to these reasons, mouth or tongue sores, tongue becoming shiny, tongue irritation while eating and tongue fungal infection etc. are more common.

Those who have diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, rheumatic diseases and diseases of the digestive system and are taking various types of drugs, especially steroids, on a regular basis for a long time, those who use artificial teeth, they are at risk of mouth ulcers.

Therefore, if you see any kind of sore or color change in the mouth or if you feel burning or pain in the mouth while eating, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Apart from this, if the tongue bursts or the color of the tongue changes, the gum on the inside of the mouth, the sore on the inside of the cheek should not be neglected. A lump or white sore inside the mouth can be a precursor to cancer. So no matter what the reason, any problem inside the mouth is not neglected at all. A doctor should be consulted immediately. If the sore persists for two weeks or more after treatment, a biopsy or meat tissue examination should be done on the doctor's advice.

Experts say - women need special awareness about mouth sores. Be careful about hygiene. In addition to brushing twice a day, floss at least once a day and gargle with warm salt water.

Eat a nutritious balanced diet. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Get your teeth checked by a dentist at least once a year.

Even with so much awareness to lead a healthy life, don't neglect to get checked by the doctor once in a while.
