Do you have bad breath? Do you still think it's just a simple fire? NO!

There are many people in life who are troubled by the problem of bad breath. They dare not talk to others because of bad breath, and they dare not be intimate with their boyfriends because of bad breath... Disgusting breath is really embarrassing and annoying. So what exactly is bad breath?

Bad breath is the body's warning sign:

Gastrointestinal diseases: such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, etc. may be accompanied by bad breath.

Constipation: Long-term constipation will cause harmful substances produced in the body to not be excreted in time, which will cause symptoms such as bad breath, loss of appetite, and irritability.

Pneumonia and nasal diseases: People with these two diseases may also have bad breath because the lungs are inflamed and the gases produced after breathing through the lungs are polluted; the same reason applies to nasal diseases.

Systemic diseases such as liver and kidney failure: For example, ketoacidosis may cause a sweet or rotten apple smell.

A little way to self-diagnose bad breath:

How to test your breath yourself: Put your left and right palms together and make them into a closed bowl shape, covering your mouth and nose. Then exhale into your palms and then inhale through your nose. You can smell how your mouth smells.

You can also use a disposable plastic spoon to lightly scrape the back of the tongue a few times and put it in front of your nose to judge. This method is more suitable for checking bad breath coming from the back of the tongue.

Although many people have bad breath, most of them find it difficult to detect. Many people with bad breath only discover they have bad breath because of "complaints" from family or friends.

This is because the soft palate at the back of the mouth is connected to the nasal cavity, so the nose cannot smell the odor produced in the back of the mouth.

So, don't wait until your lover or friends are afraid to get close to you before you discover your bad breath. It is best to do the test regularly. If you have bad breath for many consecutive times or for a long time, you may have oral or other diseases and you should go to the hospital for professional examination.

Rotten egg smell indicates oral disease

Some people often have a rotten egg smell in their mouths, some have a sour smell in their mouths, and some even have a rancid smell in their mouths... The causes of bad breath are different, and the smell is also different. Generally speaking, if your mouth smells like rotten eggs, it is mostly a sign of oral disease.

Bad breath with the smell of rotten eggs is mostly caused by oral diseases. More than 80% of bad breath patients belong to this type (oral halitosis).

The reason why the rotten egg smell is produced is mainly because some people have a large number of anaerobic bacteria and food residues hidden in the tongue coating, tooth gaps, and residual roots and crowns. These anaerobic bacteria produce sulfide while decomposing food residues, making the mouth full of a rotten egg smell.
