Men can't control the flow of this liquid in bed

Drooling while sleeping at night is very embarrassing. Because this problem only occurred in babies before, but now many adults also have it. Some male friends have also encountered such a problem. Now I will tell you why some men drool while sleeping.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is caused by weak spleen and stomach. Because the spleen controls muscles in the human body and opens to the mouth, the main reason why adults drool at night is due to spleen deficiency, commonly known as spleen and stomach deficiency. If the spleen is deficient and the body's metabolism is abnormal, the internal organs and limbs will not be nourished, the muscles will lack elasticity and easily relax, so after falling asleep, the mouth will open and drool will flow out.

There are many reasons for this. The main reason is the male's diet, unbalanced diet, overwork, or long-term illness that weakens the spleen and stomach movement, causing water retention, spleen and stomach dampness and heat, or food in the stomach descending and stomach heat steaming up, which is the so-called "stomach disharmony leads to restlessness when lying down."

1. Wrong sleeping posture

Drooling while sleeping may be caused by improper sleeping posture, such as sleeping on the table, sleeping on the side, etc. In this case, you only need to adjust your sleeping posture appropriately to reduce the occurrence of drooling.

2. Neuroregulation disorders

The regulation of saliva secretion is completely neuroreflexive. The so-called "seeing plums to quench thirst" is an example of conditioned reflex saliva secretion. Therefore, if there is a disorder in neural regulation, drooling during sleep can also occur.

3. Some neurological symptoms or other possible causes

For example, patients with systemic diseases such as autonomic nervous system disorders may experience parasympathetic nervous system excitement during sleep, which can cause the brain to send erroneous signals and increase saliva secretion.

4. Oral Diseases

If you drool while sleeping, and your pillowcase is yellowish, it is probably due to poor oral hygiene. If there is an ulcer in your mouth, the pain will stimulate saliva secretion and induce drooling. At this time, you can use medicine to promote the healing of the ulcer, and the drooling will disappear automatically.

5. Facial neuritis or stroke

If you suddenly start drooling while sleeping after your face is exposed to cold, wind or a cold, you must be alert. You can smile at the mirror. If you find that the corners of your mouth are crooked, or you have symptoms such as difficulty closing your eyes or headaches, it may be a sign of facial neuritis or stroke. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations immediately.

6. Dental deformity

Some patients with facial and dental deformities often have open lips and exposed teeth because their front teeth protrude more obviously. It is difficult for the lips to completely cover the front teeth when sleeping, and the upper and lower lips often separate naturally, making it easy for them to drool. It is recommended that such patients have their teeth corrected as soon as possible.
