However, the medical community believes that bad breath mainly comes from various acute and chronic diseases of the human body.
The main causes of halitosis are stomach heat syndrome and stomach yin deficiency syndrome, of which stomach heat syndrome is the majority, often accompanied by severe halitosis, swollen gums, constipation, stomach pain, indigestion, irritability and other symptoms.
Because many gastrointestinal diseases have no obvious symptoms, many people tend to ignore them. Bad breath is a clear warning signal to remind patients that they may have functional dyspepsia, chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and other diseases.
Recently, the medical community also found that the incidence of halitosis in patients infected with Helicobacter pylori, which caused various stomach diseases, was significantly higher than that in uninfected patients, and the symptoms of halitosis were significantly alleviated after radical eradication of Helicobacter pylori. The reason may be that Helicobacter pylori infection directly produces sulfide, which leads to bad breath.
In addition, dieting to lose weight and taking certain drugs such as sedatives, antihypertensive drugs and diuretics can also cause bad breath, which requires professional guidance from doctors.
With bad breath, it is recommended to go to a regular gastrointestinal hospital for treatment. Stay away from bad breath, fresh and healthy!
