Burning mouth syndrome is a lesion of the oral mucosa, the main symptom is burning pain, similar to eating chili peppers, and some patients are also accompanied by numbness and itching of the mucosa. Although the subjective symptoms are obvious, no abnormalities can be found after various examinations. The disease is chronic, lasts more than two hours a day, and symptoms last more than three months.

The specific pathogenesis is not clear, most of the patients are menopausal women, and high mental stress and severe mental trauma are also one of the risk factors, and may also be related to long-term use of oral health care products and wearing inappropriate dentures. **Divided into drugs** and non-drugs**, non-drugs** are mainly yoga, exercise, cognition**, etc., drugs** are mainly active medication to correct the primary disease, antidepressants, antihypertensives can be used, high blood sugar can be corrected, and vitamins are supplemented.

Burning mouth syndrome will appear similar to burning sensation symptoms, most often occurs in the tongue or upper chamber of this part, the biggest feature of this disease is that the symptoms of the individual are very obvious, but the objective examination has no positive signs of a disease, middle-aged women occur more, and it occurs before and after menopause, it is now believed that it is related to mental factors and some changes in endocrine levels.

Burning mouth syndrome is mostly seen in menopausal and menopausal women, and the symptoms may be slightly burning in the mouth, worsen at night, and persist for a day after waking up. There are also some relatively rare symptoms that will occur intermittently, so no matter what the situation is, it is necessary to ** as soon as possible to avoid serious harm.

The main characteristic of burning mouth syndrome is that the patient feels that his mouth burns painfully, that is, the subjective feeling is particularly heavy, but in fact, everything is normal in the clinical examination, mainly because the signs and subjective sensations are completely inconsistent. For example, he felt that his tongue hurt terribly, and his tongue was normal at first glance; He felt that the ants were crawling on his tongue, but he could not see the ants crawling; He has a sense of displacement, but you can't see anything objectively; There is also the more he stays with it, the more it hurts, for example, if he stays by himself, he feels that the burning pain is particularly heavy, as long as he eats, he will be fine. In fact, it is the opposite of clinical practice, for example, if there is an ulcer in the mouth, and the mouth is really damaged, in this case, the patient does not dare to eat, and feels pain when eating, in fact, the patient will avoid eating, but these patients are characterized by always wanting to eat, that is, the more he eats, the better he feels, as long as he does not eat, he feels uncomfortable, and the more he stays, the more uncomfortable he becomes.

There are also many patients who feel that the symptoms are mild when they first come together in the morning, and the symptoms become more severe in the afternoon, and the more severe they are in the evening, and sometimes it will affect their sleep. Therefore, most patients with burning mouth syndrome actually have poor sleep, and poor sleep makes them worse. But sometimes they feel that their tongue hurts and their mouth hurts to affect their sleep, so behind these things, there are actually some mental-related diseases, such as anxiety, depression or menopause.

Therefore, its main characteristic is that his subjective feelings are completely inconsistent with the objective examination, that is, this is the main characteristic of his disease.
