A woman's mouth is bitter and has bad breath

It is normal to have dry mouth after waking up every day. After a whole night, the body is dehydrated. It is the body's way of reminding you to replenish water. However, I often find that my lips are not only astringent but also bitter after waking up, and I can smell a very strong odor when I blow on my hands. What is the reason for this? Are you sick? Maybe you need to be vigilant. This may be the body's way of telling you to pay attention to many problems. Don't take it lightly.

Why do my lips feel dry and bitter and I have bad breath after waking up?

Gastrointestinal problems: Once the gastrointestinal problems occur, it will affect the digestion and absorption function. The food eaten in the chicken-eating game will not be easily digested and absorbed immediately. The food stays in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, and the gastric juice will slowly be excreted, which can easily cause gastric acid to reflux into the esophagus, and some bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract will be excreted through the lips, resulting in dry mouth, bitter mouth and bad breath. Especially people who are infected with Helicobacter pylori or have gastrointestinal diseases are more likely to experience this kind of situation.

Most gastrointestinal problems are caused by unhealthy and unscientific diet. Often eating midnight snacks, spicy food, irritating, and greasy food before going to bed will increase the pressure on the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal tract cannot digest the food in time, nor can it repair itself. The gastrointestinal motility is reduced, and food residues and toxins cannot be excreted from the body in time. The continuous food stagnation will turn into cold and dampness, emit a bad smell, and evaporate upwards, finally reaching the mouth to produce bad breath.

Liver fire: The liver not only detoxifies the body, it also plays a role in the transportation of blood and the metabolism of bile in the body. If the liver fire is too strong, it will cause the liver to fail to descend, resulting in disharmony between the liver and the gallbladder. The body will work too hard and fluid will be lost faster, so after waking up, you will have dry mouth, bitter mouth and bad breath. If the gallbladder function is abnormal, bile cannot be secreted normally, which may cause reflux, and symptoms such as dry mouth, bitter mouth and bad breath or bad breath will occur.

Some periodontal diseases: I believe that many people have had the experience of toothache. As the saying goes, toothache is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens. This is mostly due to tooth decay or periodontal disease. Because if there are cavities, it will be easier for bacteria to grow in the mouth and produce bad odor. The longer you delay, the worse the situation will be. It is normal to have dry mouth, bitter mouth and bad breath in the morning. In severe cases, it may affect the normal operation of other organs and cause other diseases.

How to improve the condition of dry mouth, bitter mouth and bad breath after waking up?

First of all, you need to adjust your diet. Usually, try to avoid eating foods containing strong stimulation or spicy foods such as hot pot, seafood, and raw and cold foods. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber and digestive stimulants, such as some green leafy vegetables, cabbage, honey, walnut kernels and other foods to help you repair the gastric mucosa and nourish the stomach and intestines; also drink more water, replenish water in time, so that the lips will not be often astringent, but be careful not to drink a lot of water before going to bed at night.

Second, pay attention to oral health. Develop a good habit of gargling after meals, and brush your teeth every morning, noon and evening, which can help protect the oral cavity and prevent dental diseases. There is a bad smell in the lips. It may also be caused by unhygienic environment. For the elderly, it is better to eat less food that is easy to get stuck in the teeth, otherwise it is easy for a lot of food residues to remain in the mouth, which will form dental plaque over time and cause a series of periodontal diseases.
