Syndrome of Sjögren's Development
Sjögren's syndrome, a chronic autoimmune condition primarily affecting the body's moisture-producing glands, results in dry eyes and lips. It results from the immune system attacking the salivary and tear glands, therefore limiting their capacity to generate saliva and tears.
Causes and Risk Factors
Although the precise origin of Sjögren's syndrome is yet unknown, environmental, hormonal, and genetic elements could help it develop. It is more common in women over forty and usually linked to other autoimmune conditions, including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
symptoms
Dry eyes can cause burning, itching, or a gritty sensation, while dry mouth can cause difficulty swallowing, speaking, or tasting food.

Joint soreness and tiredness, Gum disease and dental problems, including cavities, Diagnosis and treatment guidelines
Salivary gland examinations, eye tests, and blood testing help doctors diagnose Sjögren's syndrome. Although no cure exists, treatment focusses on symptom management.
Artificial tears and saliva replace moisture.
Drugs including saliva stimulants or immunosuppressants
Changing lifestyle includes drinking water and avoiding dry surroundings.
