Patients with Behcet's disease may develop severe lesions in the perineal area. However, with active and effective treatment, most patients can gradually recover from local ulcers, though scarring is common and recurrences are frequent.
Patients with Behcet's disease often experience recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis. Genital ulcers typically occur after oral lesions.
- In female patients, ulcers are primarily located on the vulva and vagina, with a few cases on the cervix.
- In male patients, ulcers appear on the scrotum and penis, and may also occur around the anus.
Vulvar ulcers are particularly painful, so it is important to maintain proper hygiene in the affected area. Topical ointments can be applied for symptomatic relief.
