The cause and pathogenic mechanism of tongue ulcers are still unclear. The causes of oral ulcers may be local trauma, mental stress, food, medicine, changes in hormone levels, and lack of vitamins or trace elements. Systemic diseases, genetics, immunity and microorganisms may play an important role in the occurrence and development of oral ulcers. Because the cause is unknown, the diagnosis of oral ulcers is entirely based on medical history and clinical manifestations, and there is a lack of laboratory indicators that can serve as a basis for diagnosis. Oral ulcers may indicate that the body may have potential systemic diseases, such as gastrointestinal, blood and endocrine system diseases, but clinically most patients are healthy and have no systemic diseases.
