Patient's question:
Recurrent oral ulcers have plagued me for over ten years, and despite seeking medical help multiple times, I haven't found a solution. According to a local Chinese medicine practitioner, the condition is caused by yin deficiency and excess fire in the kidneys, as well as hyperactivity of stomach fire and heart fire, but medication has been ineffective. The symptoms sometimes include cracked lips, sometimes a sore tongue with pus, frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and nocturia. At times, I feel extremely thirsty but don't want to drink, especially when I take a nap in the afternoon and wake up very early in the morning. I feel extremely thirsty, with a dry mouth, a dry tongue, and a salty taste in my mouth. Drinking water doesn't relieve the thirst. What should I do when the oral ulcers recur?Doctor's answer:
The causes of oral ulcers are very complex and are related to emotional anxiety, mental tension, increased physical resistance, deficiencies in vitamins and trace elements, as well as endocrine factors. Paying attention to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, avoiding greasy foods, maintaining a light diet, and keeping bowel movements regular will significantly improve the condition. During recurrence, you can use Kangfuxin liquid for gargling to promote mucosal repair. Prostate conditions can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow.
