Smell your breath and smell to tell you what’s wrong with you!

You Jinhui, an expert of Ningxia xinxiehe hospital, said in an interview with reporters that his breath, also known as “bad breath”, is unbearable to people around him. Patients themselves often feel embarrassed and isolated, which hinders social interaction, and should be treated as soon as possible.

You Jinhui said that tone can be divided into two categories: physiological and pathological. Physiological tone refers to a transient phenomenon that occurs in people’s lives, such as after eating pungent food such as onions and garlic or smoking.

Pathological breath can be divided into oral and systemic sources. Most of the breath is from the mouth, and the main component is volatile sulfide, which is caused by the decomposition of amino acids by anaerobic bacteria in the mouth; The breath from the whole body is caused by systemic diseases or various infections, such as gastritis, sinusitis and hepatitis.

In general, the sweet taste produced in the mouth is mainly related to the functional disorder of the digestive system, which is more common in diabetes patients. The bitter taste in the mouth belongs to hepatobiliary heat syndrome and gastrointestinal heat syndrome, which is more common in the acute attack of various inflammation.

Salty mouth is mainly a manifestation of deficiency of kidney yin and deficiency of fire, which is often seen in chronic pharyngitis or oral ulcer. Liver heat is sour mouth, which also reflects weakness of the spleen and stomach. It is often seen in gastritis or peptic ulcer. Light mouth is often seen in deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach, which belongs to digestive system disease. In addition, nasal diseases can also cause bad breath.

You Jinhui said that there are many methods to detect breath, including nasal measurement and measuring the concentration of volatile sulfide in the mouth through instruments. For the treatment of breath, first of all, we should accept the oral health guidance of professional doctors; The second is to treat oral diseases, such as periodontal disease treatment and special oral cleaning.
