Ulcer

Ulcer is a discontinuity or break in a bodily membrane that impedes normal potential of the affected organ. According to Robbins's pathology, "ulcer is the breach of the continuity of skin, epithelium or mucous membrane caused by sloughing out of inflamed necrotic tissue." Common forms of ulcers recognized in medicine comprise of ulcer (dermatology), a discontinuity of the skin or a break in the skin, pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, genital ulcer, an ulcer located on the genital area, ulcerative dermatitis, a skin disorder associated with bacterial growth often initiated by self-trauma, anal fissure, an ulcer or tear near the anus or within the rectum, diabetic foot ulcer, a major complication of the diabetic foot, callous ulcer, a chronic nonhealing ulcer with hard indurated base and inelastic margins, corneal ulcer, an inflammatory or infective condition of the cornea, mouth ulcer, an open sore inside the mouth, aphthous ulcer, a specific type of oral ulcer also known as a canker sore, peptic ulcer, a discontinuity of the gastrointestinal mucosa (stomach ulcer), venous ulcer, a wound thought to occur due to improper functioning of valves in the veins, stress ulcer, an ulcer located within the stomach and proximal duodenum, ulcerative sarcoidosis, a cutaneous condition affecting people with sarcoidosis, ulcerative lichen planus, a rare variant of lichen planus, ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and ulcerative disposition, a disorder or discomfort that causes severe abdominal distress, often associated with chronic gastritis. I am writing this because from yesterday till today, I am suffering from ulcer in my mouth. So bad! To hinder ulcer, many ways need to be taken. Reduce the consumption of alcoholic drinks. Try to quit smoking. Manage stress. Eat a healthy diet. Be meticulous of pain relievers. Wash hands frequently. Ensure food safety. For medical considerations, monitor NSAID usage. Seek medical advice if better. Thank you.
