Patient's question:
I have bad breath, especially noticeable when I go to bed in the morning. I can't even bear my own bad breath when I go to bed every morning, let alone my wife. So, I've always been very self-conscious. Every time I have to chew some gum before I dare to talk to others. It really bothers me, and I don't know if there's any way to solve it.Doctor's answer:
The fundamental cause of halitosis is a weakened immune system, which triggers endocrine disorders in internal organ functions. This makes it difficult to balance and suppress pathogenic microorganisms that produce odor-causing compounds. When a large number of domesticated pathogenic microorganisms reach a certain concentration, they produce high levels of odor-causing compounds during the process of metabolizing nutrients in the human body. When the concentration of odor-causing compounds is high, the gas enters the bloodstream and is transported unchanged to the lungs and stomach, eventually being expelled from the body through the mouth and nose.In addition to conventional treatment for halitosis, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating light meals and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
