Patient's question:
It is said that bad breath doesn't originate in the mouth, but in the stomach and intestines. I have bad breath, and my stomach and intestines also feel uncomfortable. How should I regulate my stomach and intestines to address bad breath?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis is often caused by oral problems. Gum inflammation, periodontitis, and tooth decay are all possible causes of recurring halitosis. Another cause of halitosis is stomach heat syndrome and stomach yin deficiency syndrome, with the majority being caused by stomach heat syndrome. It often leads to severe halitosis, constipation, stomach pain, indigestion, and irritability. Actively treating the diseases that cause halitosis, such as periodontitis, hepatitis, and stomach problems, is crucial. The patient's dietary habits and mental state are also very important. Patients must avoid excessive stress and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of halitosis.
