Menstruation is something every girl experiences every month. During this period, female compatriots should pay more attention to their bodies.

Oral ulcers are superficial ulcers on the oral mucosa. They can be the size of a grain of wheat or a soybean, and can be round or oval in shape. The ulcer surface is slightly concave like the bottom of a dish, and the surrounding area is red due to congestion. There may be spontaneous pain or pain caused by food irritation. It usually heals on its own within 7 to 10 days.

When oral ulcers first occur, the mucosa becomes congested and edematous, and ulcers of varying sizes soon appear. Ulcers often occur on the tongue, cheek mucosa, lip mucosa and palate, and sometimes spread to the corners of the mouth and throat. The edge of the ulcer is very clear, and the ulcer surface is covered with a layer of yellow pus, which is medically called a pseudomembrane. This pseudomembrane is not easy to peel off. If it is forcibly peeled off, it may form an erosive surface. Sometimes the ulcer forms patches, which may cause enlargement of the mandibular lymph nodes.
