1. Poor dietary habits, such as frequently consuming spicy, irritating foods or overly seasoned meals, may lead to internal "heatiness," affecting the health of oral mucosa and increasing the risk of mouth ulcers. In addition, unhealthy lifestyle habits can also irritate the oral mucosa and trigger ulcers.
2. Endocrine disorders are another common cause of mouth ulcers. Frequent late nights and irregular作息 (daily routines) may lead to hormonal imbalances in the body, thereby triggering mouth ulcers.
3. When immunity is low, the body becomes more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections, leading to conditions such as mouth ulcers.
4. Deficiencies in certain nutrients—such as B vitamins (especially vitamin B2), vitamin C, and zinc—can also increase the risk of developing mouth ulcers.
To prevent and alleviate mouth ulcers, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, avoid irritating foods, keep a regular sleep schedule, and enhance overall immunity.
