Unfortunately, there is no
Unfortunately, there is no cure for Bechet's syndrome, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the small blood vessels. Outbreaks can be frequent and unpredicitable and cause many problems, including vaginal ulcers.
Becasue Bechet's Syndrome causes an exaggerated inflammatory response by the immune system, anti-inflammatory drugs are the mainstay of therapy. It is probable that some type of medication may need to be taken to keep the condition under control. However, many of the drugs used, including Interferon alfa-2a, corticosteroids, anti-TNF, azathioprine, and colchicine may cause unpleasant or dangerous side effects. Here are a few hints that will support you as you grapple with this condition.
First, eat an anti-inflammatory diet. Avoid foods that increase inflammation including peppers, alcohol, and tomatoes. You can research specific diets online or consult with a dietician. Also, avoid wheat and dairy products as people who are allergic to these foods may cross-react with Bechet's Syndrome. Finally, consider taking anti-inflammatory herbal supplements like turmeric and ginger, or using alternative therapies like acupuncture. Finally, keep the ulcer area clean and consider using aloe to soothe the skin ulceration and support healing.
