Burning tongue and mouth syndrome (Especially after menopause in women) :

Burning mouth syndrome is a condition that occurs especially in middle-aged women with a very high prevalence during menopause..
The patient does not report any symptoms of systemic diseases.
The disease has no specific background. He has never been in this state before. During clinical examinations and radiographs, no chronic or acute wounds are seen in the tongue and oral mucosa. There is no lump, no bleeding, no bacterial or viral agents are involved.

Except for one thing: occurrence of menopause.

This is a physiological problem in women (For various reasons, in the last decade, it occurs earlier than in the past, now even at the age of 40 and above) It disrupts their hormonal balance, especially estrogen, which has many effects on the biology of different parts of the body, the most famous of which is the manifestation of bone density reduction, which has its own causes and treatments..

Burning tongue syndrome is another symptom. The patient is impatient and may even put ice in his mouth for relief. Sometimes it causes concern about the occurrence of autoimmune diseases or malignancies that are not mentioned.
A blood test may be needed to check the deficiency of some minerals, vitamins and cofactors.

treatment:

Using the PBM photobiomodulation laser, according to the protocol, one or two cycles of 12 sessions of irradiation of specific laser wavelengths on the lesions and oral mucosa are required..
PBM treatment doesn't require anesthesia, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't bleed, and it's precisely the radiation of a laser light with a specific wavelength, dosimetry, energy density, power, and power density..
What the patient feels is like a ray of light on the tongue.

The mechanism of action is by increasing blood supply (Angiogenesis) reducing the production of inflammatory mediators and pain in the environment, increasing the diameter of lymphatic vessels to improve the cleaning of the mouth area from inflammatory mediators and raising the pain threshold in the nerves of the tongue and mouth area and improving tissue repair.
The results are very favorable and one or two cycles of 12 sessions will control the problem. The treatment time in each session is less than 30 minutes. If necessary, it can be done after follow-up (Follow-ups) 3 to 6 months, repeated PBM treatment.

There are no complications in this treatment and the symptoms are strictly controlled. Special mouthwashes may be prescribed along with PBM laser therapy of the mouth and tongue.
Quality of life in this period of life, with this treatment, there will be a significant improvement, and swallowing, speech and nutrition will show a significant improvement..
