Patient's question:
Recently, I haven't been feeling well and have developed oral and genital ulcers. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the result was Beh?et's disease. What exactly is Beh?et's disease?Doctor's answer:
Beh?et's disease is a systemic immune system disorder caused by immune system dysfunction. It may be related to living environment, heredity across generations, and infection. People of all ages can be affected, with middle-aged and young adults being more common. Its symptoms primarily manifest as recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, eye inflammation, and more.Treatment for this disease typically involves the use of immune-modulating or immunosuppressive drugs to regulate the body's immune function. Most patients require long-term medication. In daily life, it's important to develop good habits, consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other stimulating foods. Appropriate exercise should be performed to enhance physical fitness and boost immunity, which can achieve better and faster results.
