What is the reason why women have bad breath?

Bad breath is a problem that bothers many people. Once you have bad breath, it is difficult to completely get rid of the odor no matter whether you brush your teeth or chew gum. Some women with heavy breath don't even dare to speak in public, which causes great trouble in daily life and even leads to inferiority complex. So, what is the reason why some women have bad breath?

Although real-life data shows that the proportion of men with bad breath is much higher than that of women. But if you, who have outstanding appearance, speak with a bad tone as soon as you open your mouth, it would be a real nuisance. The doctor explained that halitosis refers to a symptom of foul breath coming out of the mouth, which is mostly caused by heat accumulation in the lungs, spleen, and stomach, or undigested food. When these things accumulate in the body for a long time and cannot be discharged, they become toxins and produce bad breath. Specifically, there are many reasons that cause bad breath in women, such as stomach disease, liver disease, diabetes, etc., or a lack of vitamin B6 or trace element zinc may also cause bad breath. Generally speaking, most bad breath is caused by local oral diseases.

Common causes of bad breath in women include:

(1) Bad breath caused by stomach heat: This type of people may suffer from mouth ulcers, chronic periodontitis, or may like spicy and greasy food, which may cause bad breath. They should clear stomach heat appropriately and eat less hot and dry foods to eliminate the bad breath.

(2) Constipation and bad breath: This type of bad breath is caused by normal bowel habits and living habits. If the harmful substances produced in the body cannot be discharged in time, they will be absorbed into the blood and cause bad breath and symptoms of self-poisoning such as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, and irritability. There is no special solution. You should develop the habit of timely bowel movements, drink more water and eat more vegetables, and generally the bad breath symptoms will disappear.

(3) Bad breath caused by pharyngitis: Women with chronic or acute pharyngitis often have bad breath. People of this type often experience dry throat, sore throat or red and swollen throat, which can be solved by treating the sore throat.

(4) Bad breath during adolescence: Females with bad breath are mainly girls during puberty. This is because the female ovarian function is closely related to the oral mucosal epithelium. At this time, the ovarian function is underdeveloped, the sex hormone level is low, the resistance of the oral tissue will also decrease, the mouth will become dry, and it is easy to cause bad breath.

(5) Sweet tooth and bad breath caused by staying up late: Professor Wang Weijian, deputy director of the Oral Preventive Medicine Committee of the Chinese Stomatological Association and professor at the Peking University School of Stomatology, pointed out that white-collar workers often stay up late and spend a long time on the Internet, which reduces the secretion of saliva in the mouth, and anaerobic bacteria easily accumulate in the mouth, causing bad breath problems, which can lead to periodontal disease in the long run.

(6) Dieting to lose weight and causing bad breath: Losing weight has become a phrase that many women often talk about. However, people who diet to lose weight inadvertently suppress the secretion of saliva, which allows oral bacteria to grow. At the same time, the consumption of body fat will also release a kind of acetone with a bad smell, which will cause bad breath.
