Generally speaking, dry mouth means that the body lacks moisture. When the body is in a state of dehydration or dehydration, the metabolism of the water source in the body will stimulate the body and transmit a "hydration signal", This signal will show symptoms of thirst and dry mouth.
3 physiological causes of body dehydration are mainly as follows:
1. Inadequate hydration during the day: The body does not replenish water in time when it is active during the day, which may also lead to nocturnal activities and exercises. A large amount of water is lost due to urine and sweat, which leads to people entering a dehydration state before going to bed;
2. Body function degradation: After the elderly secrete saliva and gland deterioration, their mouth will easily dry. , If the problem of hydration is ignored, the problem of dry mouth at night will often occur;
3. The sleep environment is dry : If people are seriously insufficient in the environment when they sleep, it will easily accelerate the loss of water in the body, which will easily lead to people waking up due to lack of water before going to bed;
4. Too much salt intake : If the body intakes excessive salt, it will easily lead to an increase in the plasma osmotic pressure of , and at the same time stimulate the thirst center of the hypothalamus and the osmotic pressure receptor , thus causing thirst problems.
For the above four situations, everyone must replenish water as soon as possible in daily life, so that it can alleviate the problem of dry mouth . If the phenomenon of dry mouth cannot be alleviated for a period of time after drinking water , it may be caused by the following four diseases.
