People with Behcet's disease will have several of the following symptoms:

Mouth ulcers. These affect almost everyone with Behcetâ€™s disease. They occur around the mouth, tongue and throat, and are often painful.
Genital ulcers. These affect more than half of all people with Behcetâ€™s disease. Women may get ulcers either in the vagina or on the vulva. In men ulcers may affect the scrotum and the penis. Ulcers may also occur around the anus and in the groin. Men may have swollen testicles.
Skin sores, including spots, boils, red patches, ulcers, and lumps under or in the skin.
Eye problems. Inflammation of the middle part of the eye (uveitis) occurs in more than half of all people with Behcetâ€™s disease. The back of the eye, next to the retina (retinal vasculitis) can also be affected. Symptoms include 'floaters', haziness or loss of vision, pain and redness in the eye.
Inflammation of the joints causing pain and swelling. This occurs in more than half of all patients with Behcetâ€™s disease.
Inflammation and ulceration (sores) in the digestive system. This sometimes leads to stomach pain, diarrhoea, constipation, and vomiting.
Severe headaches due to inflammation.
Inflammation of blood vessels, which increases the risk of thrombosis (blood clots). Thrombosis in veins near to the skin surface can become painful, hot and red. Thrombosis in deeper veins or arteries leads to pain and swelling of the affected limb.
Extreme tiredness.
