Sjogren's Syndrome

Sjogren's Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks moisture-producing glands, primarily affecting saliva and tear glands. This leads to dryness in the mouth, eyes, and other areas, causing discomfort and dental issues, as well as eye irritation. It can also impact other organs, leading to symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and swelling. The exact cause isn’t known, but it involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While it can be managed with medications and lifestyle adjustments, there’s currently no cure. Prompt diagnosis and treatment help improve quality of life for those affected.
