Patient's question:
My husband has been suffering from kidney deficiency for a while. Recently, when we talk to him, I noticed a bad odor in his mouth. We went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it might be caused by kidney deficiency leading to bad breath. We were both very surprised and wanted to ask those with experience: can men's kidney deficiency also cause bad breath?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, your husband may be experiencing bad breath due to kidney yin deficiency, which leads to a flare-up of internal heat and subsequently a heavy stomach fire. You can still treat it as if it were kidney deficiency. In addition to conventional treatment for bad breath, the patient should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, the patient should also choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
