Pain or burning sensation in the tongue, often without visible cause.
From Greek 'glossa' (tongue) + 'odyne' (pain). This medical term emerged in the 19th century to describe a common complaint that's often difficult to diagnose.
Glossodynia affects millions of people—often women going through menopause—yet doctors still aren't completely sure why the tongue burns when nothing visible is wrong, making it a fascinating medical mystery.
