However, Sjogren’s syndrome may also affect the nose, vagina, skin, liver, brain, kidneys, blood vessels, and lungs. Sjogren's syndrome is also classified as an autoimmune disorder. Symptom’s of Sjogren's syndrome generally include one or more of the following: dryness of the mouth, nose, vagina, and eyes. In the United States, it is estimated that as many as four million individuals may have Sjogren’s syndrome, and nine out of every ten Sjogren’s syndrome suffers are women in their forties. There is no known cure for Sjogren’s syndrome and no set treatment for Sjogren's. Treatment of Sjogren's usually involves combatting the symptoms of the condition. For instance, the application of artificial tear drops or vaginal lubricants. However, in more severe cases, immunosuppressent drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, and anti-rheumatic drugs are used to lessen the symptoms of Sjorgen’s syndrome.
