Oral ulcer vitamin deficiency?

Oral ulcers are caused by a variety of factors, and vitamin deficiency is one of the common causes.

Especially vitamin B12, folic acid, etc., they play an important role in the normal metabolism and repair of oral mucosa. When deficient, it is easy to lead to damage to the integrity of oral mucosa, thus causing oral ulcers. Vitamin C has antioxidant and tissue repair functions. Lack of vitamin C can reduce the resistance of oral mucosa and be vulnerable to damage and ulcer formation. For example, vitamin A deficiency may affect the growth and repair of oral mucosa epithelial cells. However, it needs to be clear that not all oral ulcers are caused by vitamin deficiency. Other factors such as local trauma, mental stress, abnormal immune function, systemic diseases, side effects of drugs, etc. may also lead to the occurrence of oral ulcers.

Therefore, when oral ulcers occur, vitamin supplementation cannot be simply considered to solve the problem. If oral ulcers repeatedly attack, persist or are accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, timely medical treatment should be carried out, comprehensive examination and diagnosis should be carried out to determine the specific cause, and targeted treatment measures should be taken. At the same time, maintaining good oral hygiene habits, reasonable diet, regular rest, and reducing mental stress are also of great significance for preventing and alleviating oral ulcers.
