Why pregnant women have bad breath

Having bad breath after pregnancy makes pregnant women extremely embarrassed, making them unwilling to communicate with strangers, and even causing them to feel inferior or autistic, which in turn creates obstacles in their emotional communication with their families. Some pregnant women have bad breath because they do not keep their oral cavity clean after pregnancy, while others have bad breath because they develop digestive tract diseases after pregnancy.

The main causes of bad breath are stomach heat syndrome and stomach yin deficiency syndrome, among which stomach heat syndrome is the most common, often complicated by severe bad breath, constipation, stomach pain, indigestion, irritability and other symptoms, acute and chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and diabetes.

Inflammation in the oral cavity, such as periodontitis, gingivitis, etc. Both of these causes of bad breath are temporary, the reasons are clear and easy to solve; they are because food residues ferment in the mouth and form decayed substances. For example, having cavities or not brushing your teeth before going to bed.

The cause of bad breath is what people often call "stomach heat and stomach fire". This cause is the most troublesome. No matter brushing your teeth frequently, drinking herbal tea, or purging fire and clearing the stomach and intestines, it is of no avail. Many people have long-term bad breath because of this and it is difficult to treat.

Some people who wear dentures do not pay attention to the cleaning of their dentures, which can cause odor in their mouths. This is the most common cause of bad breath. Some people have special food habits and they particularly like to eat garlic, onions, etc., which will cause unpleasant odors in their mouths and stomachs.

Bad breath during pregnancy is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as a bitter taste in the mouth, or a dry mouth, or swollen and painful gums and mouth ulcers. Some pregnant women with bad breath may also suffer from constipation or even bloody stools. If you find bad breath during pregnancy, you must go to the hospital for a detailed examination and correct bad hygiene habits in time, and brush your teeth at least once a day.
