Gougerot syndrome

Gougerot syndrome, also known as Sjögren's syndrome, is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's moisture-producing glands. This leads to dry mouth and dry eyes, along with potential fatigue and joint pain. The condition may also affect other organs, causing inflammation. While there is no cure, treatments are available to manage symptoms, such as artificial tears for dry eyes and saliva substitutes for dry mouth. It’s important for individuals with Gougerot syndrome to work with healthcare professionals for a personalized management plan.
