What about Behcet?

summary

Almost everyone has suffered from oral ulcer, but most people's oral ulcer is transient and accidental, or it is caused by accidentally biting their own oral mucosa. This kind of oral ulcer only needs to pay attention to rest and eat more fruits and vegetables, which can heal itself. But if it is a long-term recurrent oral ulcer, or even one after another, it is necessary to pay attention to check whether there are autoimmune diseases, especially Behcet's disease. So we need to have some common sense to find out what disease we have in time. Here are the symptoms and treatment of Behcet's disease.

If the male genital ulcer occurs in the glans and penis, the symptoms will be more obvious, and scrotal ulcer symptoms are mild. It is suggested to go to the hospital for examination immediately.

Oral ulcer + valvular heart disease Behcet's disease can cause serious valvular heart disease. If we can correctly diagnose "valvular heart disease caused by Behcet's disease" before operation, invite rheumatic Immunology Department for consultation, carry out anti-inflammatory and immunotherapy, and control disease activities, we will greatly improve the success rate of treatment.
