Introduction
Behçet's disease is a chronic condition characterized by vasculitis as its underlying pathological change. A mild case of Behçet's disease at the age of 25 may be treatable, but there remains a possibility of recurrence. It is recommended to maintain a light diet, eat smaller meals more frequently, and consume foods that are high in calories, protein, and vitamins and easy to digest. Additionally, patients should engage in appropriate physical activity to strengthen their constitution, improve nutrition, and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

It is possible to achieve remission in mild Behçet's disease at the age of 25, but there remains a risk of recurrence.

Behçet's disease is a chronic, relapsing autoimmune disorder characterized by vasculitis. Its clinical manifestations include oral mucosal ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions. It may also affect surrounding blood vessels, the heart, the nervous system, and other organs or tissues.

Currently, there is no definitive cure for Behçet's disease. Available treatments are limited to suppressing inflammation, preventing relapses, and controlling irreversible organ damage in order to slow disease progression.

Individuals aged 25 with mild Behçet’s disease should receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a specialist, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants. Additionally, maintaining good oral and genital hygiene, along with healthy sleep patterns and diet, is essential.
