Can mild Behçet's disease at the age of 25 be cured?
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.
It is recommended to follow a light diet, eating small frequent meals rich in calories, protein, and vitamins that are easy to digest. Patients should also engage in moderate physical activity to strengthen their constitution, improve nutrition, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
