Why do men have dry mouth?

The main problem of dry mouth and tongue in men is due to lack of water in our body. Some people may have a cold. Dry throat is also a very common symptom of a cold.

There are many causes of dry mouth. Local causes mainly include bad habits, local lesions and local radiotherapy. Among them, bad habits include breathing with your mouth open during sleep, which causes excessive saliva volatility; heavy smoking causes chronic irritation to the oral cavity and poor hygiene habits; heavy drinking causes benign hypertrophy of the parotid gland, leading to decreased secretory function, etc. Local lesions include congenital salivary gland hypoplasia or absence; Candida albicans infection in the oral cavity; local radiotherapy is more common in the maxillofacial region, and radiotherapy of the nasopharynx damages the salivary glands, causing decreased saliva secretion. Frequent dry mouth may also be caused by certain diseases. Common causes include: Oral diseases: such as poor alignment of upper and lower teeth, deviated nasal septum, enlarged inferior turbinate, nasal polyps, etc. These people often breathe through their mouths, and the air in their mouths takes away more water, causing dry mouth. Chronic lung disease: emphysema, chronic bronchitis, etc., especially some elderly people, whose lung function is generally poor and whose bodies are seriously hypoxic, often breathe compensatorily through their mouths. Once lung function improves, dry mouth symptoms can be relieved.
