Why do some people suffer from bad breath?

1. Oral diseases

People suffering from oral diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, oral mucositis, tooth decay, periodontal disease, etc., are prone to bacterial growth in the oral cavity, especially anaerobic bacteria, which decompose and produce sulfides, emitting a putrid taste, and causing bad breath.

2. Dietary factors

People who smoke, drink, drink coffee, and often eat spicy and stimulating foods such as onions, garlic, and leeks, or who are addicted to stinky foods such as stinky tofu and rotten eggs, are also prone to bad breath.

3. Gastrointestinal diseases

Such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, etc., may be accompanied by bad breath. The incidence of bad breath in patients infected with Helicobacter pylori, which causes many stomach diseases, is significantly higher than that in uninfected patients, and after the eradication of Helicobacter pylori, the symptoms of halitosis are significantly reduced. The cause may be Helicobacter pylori infection, which directly produces sulfides, causing bad breath.

Fourth, disease factors

Diabetic ketoacidosis, hepatic coma, and some respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, bronchiectasis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, lung cysts, etc., may also cause bad breath.

Fifth, girls have bad breath

Some women in the period of puberty have ovarian insufficiency and low levels of sex hormones, and the resistance of oral tissues decreases, and they are susceptible to infection with germs and bad breath.

6. Constipation factors

Long-term constipation will cause symptoms of bad breath, bloating, loss of appetite, irritability and other autotoxic symptoms due to the inability to discharge harmful substances produced in the body in time and be absorbed into the bloodstream.
