There are many people who wake up in the morning and get a bad smell in their mouths, but as long as you brush your teeth quickly, this phenomenon will disappear quickly. Some people will also have bad breath when they are dehydrated in the body, and as long as they pay attention to replenishing water, this bad breath will also be relieved and disappear in a short period of time.
However, there are also many people who still have a foul smell in their exhaled breath after doing a good job of oral hygiene and proper hydration, which seriously disrupts their life and health.
So this group of people especially wants to know, what is the cause of this bad breath? If this happens, then you must be vigilant, and it is very likely to be related to some of the following diseases.
What diseases are associated with regular bad breath?
1. Oral diseases
For people suffering from a range of oral diseases, bad breath will recur in their daily life. This bad breath phenomenon is temporarily relieved for a short period of time after a series of teeth cleanings, and then it recurs.
80% to 90% of bad breath is caused by local infections in the oral cavity, such as gingivitis, apical periodontitis, periodontitis, tooth decay, and oral and maxillofacial space infections.
When suffering from a range of oral diseases, a large number of bacteria and microorganisms accumulate in the mouth. After eating, some food debris appears in the mouth and in the gaps between the surface of the tongue and the teeth.
Under the action of bacteria, these food residues will produce a large amount of volatile sulfides, the main components of which are methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide, which will emit the smell of rotten eggs, which will make people appear repeatedly bitter.
2. Respiratory diseases
If you suffer from a series of respiratory diseases, it will also induce the appearance of bad breath, which is called respiratory inflammatory halitosis, which is generally caused by pharyngitis, rhinitis, tonsillitis and sinusitis.
After suffering from these diseases, a large number of cells will accumulate in the tonsil crypts, which will cause bad breath.
If you suffer from a series of lung diseases such as asthma, pneumonia, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, due to some inflammation or suppuration in the lungs, it will also make the gas emit an unpleasant odor.
3. Gastrointestinal diseases
For example, when suffering from gastritis, gastric ulcer or gastric cancer, it will cause damage to the gastric mucosa, which can easily cause food reflux, and some bacteria appear in the mouth and esophagus, thereby inducing bad breath.
In addition, if infected with Helicobacter pylori, this bacterium can survive in the stomach lining and also produce methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide gas, which can also cause bad breath.
If you suffer from constipation or intestinal flora disorder for a long time, the metabolites in the intestine will be fermented and produce a large amount of gas, which will also cause repeated bad breath and bloating.
All in all, if bad breath occurs frequently in daily life, it is generally related to the above three types of diseases.
In addition, if the patient has kidney disease, the breath exhaled by the patient will have an amine smell, and if the patient has liver disease, the breath will have a rancid smell. If you have diabetes, your exhaled breath will smell like rotten apples.
Therefore, when bad breath occurs repeatedly, it must be judged according to some of its own uncomfortable symptoms, and then quickly admitted to the hospital**, and do a good job of personal oral hygiene, in order to effectively improve the phenomenon of bad breath.
