Sjogren Syndrome treatment in Naucalpan de Juárez

Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system affects the glands that produce moisture, reducing the amount of saliva and tears.

Common symptoms: Persistent dryness of the mouth and eyes, a gritty sensation in the eyes, difficulty swallowing dry foods, fatigue, and, at times, joint pain.

When is a checkup advisable? When dryness of the eyes and mouth is constant and affects daily life, it is worth seeking guidance, since it can be associated with other conditions.

Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist coordinates its evaluation; the ophthalmologist addresses the eye involvement and the dentist addresses the effects of dry mouth on the teeth. If the dryness becomes bothersome and long-lasting, discussing it with a professional allows it to be addressed comprehensively.
