What Causes BMS?
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is often mistakenly attributed to psychological causes, but studies show it’s a physical condition involving nerve damage and changes in brain function. The condition predominantly affects menopausal women, suggesting a link to hormone decline, particularly in protective hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Stress exacerbates BMS by increasing cortisol levels, which damage nerves.
In the following videos and articles, Dr. Susan Sklar delves into her approach, which emphasizes hormone restoration and stress reduction to manage and alleviate symptoms, demonstrating that BMS is not “in your head” but a complex interaction of physical factors. The articles also discuss secondary causes of BMS, which can be identified through medical history or clinical findings.
