While there is no particular cause which can be linked to the occurrence of canker sores, there are various factors which might trigger them. Stress is one of them. Medical research has found out some connection between canker sores and stress as the latter might trigger the former. Thus, many teenagers usually develop this problem during or before exams or due to any sort of stress. Women can also get this problem sometimes in between their menstrual cycle. Moreover, certain foods including citrus or acidic fruits and vegetables like lemons, oranges, pineapples, or tomatoes can trigger this problem or even make it worse.
