When the weather is hot, you should drink more water, which is good for the body's circulation and detoxification. When people are thirsty, they should not drink water too quickly, but should drink slowly, especially not immediately after exercise. However, everyone drinks the same water, but why do some people find it bitter? The feeling of bitter water is mostly related to your nervous system. You can choose to see a Chinese or Western doctor for a check-up to prevent physical illness. There are many reasons for thirst. If there is a problem with the central nervous system, you will always feel thirsty. In fact, you are not dehydrated and you don’t have dry mouth, but the central nervous system reacts by feeling thirsty and wanting to drink water. There is also an immune disease called Sjögren's syndrome, which is not just thirst, but also includes dryness of various mucous membranes, such as dryness of the conjunctiva of the eyelids. If you feel uncomfortable, do not judge the disease yourself. Go to the hospital for a check-up. Don’t just get checked for diabetes; diabetes insipidus can also cause abnormal thirst! Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. The lesions mainly invade exocrine glands such as the lacrimal glands and large and small salivary glands, causing gland destruction and reduced or absent secretion. The main clinical symptoms are dry eyes and mouth. It is often combined with rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune diseases. The degree of oral dryness varies, and mild cases are easy to be ignored. In severe cases, chewing is affected, dry food cannot be formed into food clumps, swallowing is difficult, and soup is often needed to swallow the food. The oral cavity is prone to infection and may have severe caries, with the teeth breaking and falling off in powdery or small pieces. Recurrent oral ulcers and chapped mouth Chapped lips and dry tongue. The parotid glands or submandibular glands may swell bilaterally or unilaterally, especially the parotid glands. It feels solid but not hard, has no tenderness or fluctuation, and has a smooth surface. Reduced respiratory secretions can cause dry nasal cavity, nasal crust blockage, dry pharynx and hoarseness. Lower respiratory tract involvement may cause chronic bronchitis and recurrent interstitial pneumonia. The digestive tract may show esophageal motility disorder, decreased gastric acid secretion, and chronic atrophic gastritis. 20-44% of patients have liver enlargement, and 35-42% have chronic active hepatitis. Renal tubular dysfunction, varying degrees of renal tubular acidosis. The urine concentrating function is reduced, causing hypotonic urine, which may manifest as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Aminoaciduria, glucosuria, and phosphaturia may be seen. In a few cases, glomerulonephritis may occur. Dry skin and reduced sweating. The vulvar skin and vaginal mucosa become dry and atrophic, with a burning sensation, making them prone to secondary vaginal candidal infection. |
