Medical Mnemonic _ Sjogrens Syndrome Signs & Symptoms

Tear and saliva glands are affected by the autoimmune condition known as Sjogren’s syndrome. Dry eyes, dry mouth, and enlarged salivary glands are just some of the signs of this chronic illness.

Women over the age of 40 are at a higher risk for being diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome, and the disorder is frequently found in tandem with other inflammatory diseases such rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

Although the root cause of Sjogren’s syndrome remains a mystery, researchers suspect an interaction of hereditary and environmental variables.

Common approaches to treating Sjogren’s syndrome include the use of medication and behavioural modifications to alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
