Clinical study on oral malaise in patients who underwent hysterectomy

Abstract

Oral malaise in one of the most treatment-resistant stats in oral complaint because there are no apparent physical findings in the oral region that appear to be responsible for the symptoms. In the present study, we focused on the fact that six patients who complained of severe oral malaise had previously undergone hysterectomy. To elucidate the relationship between oral malaise and hysterectomy, we analyzed these patients using a bio-psycho-socioethical approach. They were all older than 40 years old and complained of typical symptoms of climacteric disorders with severe oral malaise. We treated them with wholeperson psychosomatic therapy and found it to be effective in those patients. More information about the physical and psychological characteristics of such patients is necessary to understand the mechanisms of onset of oral malaise in patients who have undergone hysterectomy.
