What to do if your lips are broken and bleeding

If your lips are broken and bleeding, you must not ignore it. In fact, if the area around your lips is not treated properly, serious infection may occur, which may induce oral ulcers. This will make the treatment of your disease more difficult, so you must disinfect it in time, keep the wound clean and dry, and don't eat any spicy food.

Oral ulcers are largely related to personal physical constitution, so it is unlikely to completely avoid their occurrence, but the incidence can still be reduced if the inducing factors are avoided as much as possible. Oral ulcers should pay attention to keeping the mouth clean, gargle with light salt water frequently, moisten the mouth frequently, and avoid dry mouth. Women should pay attention to rest before and after menstruation, keep a happy mood, avoid excessive fatigue, and drink plenty of water.

We need to remind everyone that ulcers in the mouth that do not heal for a long time may become cancerous over time due to frequent stimulation from chewing and talking.

Especially in those parts that come into contact with teeth, if there are remaining damaged teeth that have not been removed, or the dentures are not properly made, their sharp edges will constantly irritate and scrape the mucosa, causing ulcers. If the irritating factors are not removed, the ulcers will not only not heal, but will become increasingly worse. This type of ulcer that does not heal for a long time may also be a precancerous lesion, which is very likely to become cancerous. If you often suffer from oral ulcers, you need to pay attention to the above problems.

Oral ulcers belong to the category of "mouth sores" and "oral erosions" in traditional Chinese medicine. Although oral ulcers occur in the mouth, they are closely related to the internal organs. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen opens up to the mouth, the heart opens up to the tongue, the kidney meridian connects to the throat and the base of the tongue, the cheeks and gums belong to the stomach and large intestine, and the Ren meridian and Du meridian both connect to the oral cavity, lips and tongue, indicating that the occurrence of oral ulcers is closely related to the five internal organs. "Suwen Zhizhen Yaoda Lun" said: "All pains, itches and sores belong to the heart." The fire caused by mouth sores is not only due to the heart.

Being worried and angry in daily life, being addicted to smoking, drinking and coffee, and overeating of fatty and greasy foods can all lead to heat accumulation in the heart and spleen, heat stagnation in the lungs and stomach, and heat accumulation in the liver and gallbladder, which can cause mouth ulcers and are mostly positive symptoms. Insufficient kidney yin and virtual fire can cause mouth ulcers and are mostly negative symptoms. Being old and weak, overworked and suffering internal injuries can damage the spleen and stomach, which can lead to malfunction of the middle burner hub, blocked upper and lower qi movement, inability of the upper burner yang to descend, inability of the lower burner yin to ascend, and excessive heart fire to ascend along the meridians, which can also cause mouth ulcers and are mostly negative symptoms.

As Li Dongyuan said in "Discussion on Spleen and Stomach": "The spleen and stomach are weak and the vital energy is insufficient, while the heart fire is strong. The heart fire is Yin fire, which originates from the lower burner and is connected to the heart. The heart is not in charge, and the ministerial fire takes over." "Stomach disease will cause shortness of breath, lack of energy and high fever. Sometimes the stomach fire will ascend and burn the face alone."
