What is "Sjögren's syndrome"?

Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that mainly affects the moisture-producing glands of the body, such as the salivary glands and tear glands. It is characterized by symptoms such as dry eyes, dry mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Other common symptoms may include joint pain, fatigue, and dry skin. Sjögren's syndrome can also affect other parts of the body, leading to complications such as tooth damage, oral infections, and vision problems. Treatment for Sjögren's syndrome focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing complications. This may involve the use of artificial tears and saliva substitutes to moisten the eyes and mouth, as well as medications to reduce inflammation and calm the immune system.
