Mouth ulcers are because of many causes of which authors ulcers are most common. Stress can precipitate oral ulcers. They are no identified cause for authors ulcers. Vitamin deficiency and Chemotherapy can cause mouth ulcers. Since you said ca ovary, you must be given paclitaxel and carbonation, both of which do not cause mouth ulcers commonly. Since vitamin deficiency is only treatable, you were given vitamin tablets
