Recurrent oral ulcers may be caused by multiple factors:
1. Low immunity is a significant cause. Factors such as chronic late-night habits, excessive mental stress, or hereditary conditions may lead to compromised immune function, reducing the body's ability to resist external pathogens and triggering oral ulcers.
2. Deficiency in vitamins, especially the B-complex vitamins, may also contribute to recurrent oral ulcers.
3. Oral infections, digestive system disorders such as gastric ulcers and chronic gastritis, as well as genetic factors, can also increase the risk of oral ulcer recurrence.
To prevent and treat oral ulcers, it is recommended to adjust lifestyle habits, ensure adequate sleep, maintain a balanced diet, supplement with B-complex vitamins, and practice regular oral hygiene. If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical consultation and professional treatment are advised.
