Did you know that menopause can be related to a condition called burning mouth syndrome (BMS)? BMS causes moderate to severe burning or cutting sensations inside the mouth, and it's more common in postmenopausal women. This chronic condition is also associated with mental health conditions, fibromyalgia, and other symptoms like fatigue and shoulder pain. BMS can also lead to other oral health issues, so it's important to seek treatment if you're experiencing these symptoms.
