This bad breath may be lung cancer
Many people think that the unpleasant smell that people have set out is caused by oral diseases or forgetting to brush their teeth in the morning.
In general, oral problems that cause bad breath are mostly tooth decay, periodontal disease, inadequate oral cleaning, dry mouth, and ulcers in the mouth. Among them, the dry mouth is more common in the elderly, because the secretion of saliva is less so that the bacteria in the mouth are not easily washed by saliva to form bad breath.
In addition, women's menopause is affected by hormonal changes, which can also cause dry mouth. Taian Hospital Zheng Yafen dietitian said that if this happens, it is recommended that women can take more soy products to increase the body's isoflavones, which will help reduce the bad breath caused by hormone deficiency, but she reminded, "Do not avoid Take too much fried, fried soy products, and do not take the extracted isoflavone extract."
In addition, many oral ulcers are also prone to bad breath. Most of the oral ulcers are caused by personal physique, but it may also be caused by tumors or other causes. If you only want to cause oral ulcers due to your constitution, just apply the ointment opened by the doctor to the wound and heal it.
From a nutritional point of view, Zheng Yafen pointed out that it will cause oral ulcers, and most of them are lack of vitamin B group. Vitamin B group is water-soluble and can be metabolized quickly. She recommends taking more than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day to increase the amount of vitamin B in the body to reduce the chance of oral ulcers.
However, modern medicine has proven that many systemic diseases, such as liver, lung, kidney, and stomach, can also cause bad breath, and if it occurs frequently, it is necessary to find the cause.
Corrosive stench - lung cancer.
Pulmonary infections, bronchitis, lung abscesses, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema and even lung cancer can cause varying degrees of bad breath. These odors are mostly caused by mucus accumulated in the lungs.
Among them, patients with lung abscess often accompanied by rot and acid bad breath, such patients often have fever, purulent sputum, etc., chest X-ray examination can generally confirm the diagnosis; tuberculosis hemoptysis, bronchiectasis hemoptysis often appear bloody smell bad breath; advanced lung cancer patients often in the mouth And there are rot and odor in the exhalation.
It is worth mentioning that smokers often have a bad breath that is easy to recognize. Even if you don't smoke, others can judge him as a smoker through bad breath. This kind of bad breath is the smog that remains in the dead space of the lungs and gradually dissipates with the breathing movement of the smokers, producing a bad breath with a "smoke".
When a smoker suffers from a lung disease at the same time, the odor may be more significant due to the further increase of the dead volume and the pathological dead space.
The smell of corruption - upper respiratory disease
Upper respiratory tract diseases such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, and pharyngitis secrete a large amount of protein-containing mucus, partially forming a snivel, and the rest flows from the nasal passage to the pharynx. This mucus partially adheres to the back of the tongue or the oropharynx, and when the protein is broken down, it will produce a bad smell.
Sour smell - stomach disease.
When the pyloric stenosis or obstruction occurs, the food stays in the stomach for too long, and it will produce a smell of acid and odor, which is emitted through the mouth. Reflux esophagitis and the like can also lead to pathologic halitosis stomach, adhesion in the mouth, throat vomit kept released "sour gas." Bad breath can be significantly improved after active treatment of stomach problems.
Rotten apple flavor - diabetic pyruvate poisoning
When a person's blood sugar exceeds the standard and is uncontrolled, the body's fat will decompose and a ketone body will be produced. The α-ketoglutaric acid will give off a sour apple flavor. When this odor is set, the concentration of ketone body in the patient's body is already very high, and it is close to or reaches the level of diabetic ketoacidosis. It is necessary to seek medical treatment in time, otherwise, it will be life-threatening.
Urine smell - uremia
Most of the urinary odor is from patients with chronic nephritis or kidney disease. When the disease progresses to the stage of chronic renal failure (commonly known as uremia), because of the lack of urine, some toxic substances cannot be excreted in the body and remain in the blood, which will cause the gas dispensed by the patient to emit urine, which is the trend of the disease. Critical signal.
Excreta smell - liver failure.
In liver failure, the liver's metabolic capacity is weakened, and the ability to break down toxins is reduced, leading to an increase in blood ammonia, which causes a slightly sweet smell of excrement in the mouth, which is also called "the breath of death." The ability of certain branched-chain amino acids in the body to diminish, and also lead to rotten apple flavor.
In addition, some bad breath is caused by mental illness, such as anxiety, insomnia or some mental illness caused by autonomic dysfunction .
