Why do mouth ulcers sometimes take longer to heal during periods of stress or hormonal change?
Stress and hormonal fluctuations, like those around menstruation or during intense emotional periods, can weaken the local immune response in your mouth and slow healing. Being mindful of self-care during these times, such as prioritising sleep, managing stress, and soothing your mouth with gentle care, can help support faster recovery.
