IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WOMEN HAVE A PATTERN OF BAD BREATH DIFFERENT FROM MEN?
Apparently women can add Bad Breath to the list of unfavorable issues associated with their menstrual cycle. Once a month, hormone fluctuations in a woman’s body cause extra proteins to occur in their saliva. Anaerobic bacteria feast on these proteins and wildly multiply, releasing the VSC’s that cause Bad Breath. Also, the rise in estrogen occurring at the start of menstruation triggers the shedding of the body’s lining tissues, including those of the mouth. Again, oral bacteria undergo rapid growth as they consume the additional tissue cells.
