Blood in the saliva

Blood in the saliva is one of the first signals to the fact that the activity of the human body has failed.

The problem is to be determined without fail, otherwise it can lead to negative consequences.

[1], [2], [3]

Causes of the blood in the saliva

The fact that the saliva may be affected by blood is not one but a wide range of factors, among which are the following:

• bleeding from the nose. It should not cause anxiety, if provoking factors are known;
• wrong process of cleaning your teeth. Most likely, this procedure uses a brush with a stiff bristle, and it is best to replace it with another;
• damage to the mucous membranes of the throat during a severe cough;
• benign polyp of the lung;
• nonspecific lung lesions;
• beriberi;
• destructive forms of lung disease;
• helminthiases;
• viral or bacterial infection;
• disease of the cardiovascular system;
• pulmonary tuberculosis;
• Oncological diseases of benign or malignant nature.

[4], [5]

Symptoms of the blood in the saliva

In most cases, there are precursors of blood in the saliva, but, unfortunately, patients do not always pay attention to them. The body temperature rises, pain sensations are localized in one area, with VDP disease, unpleasant warmth in the chest region is observed, which is accompanied by a strong cough, sputum has a salty taste. Appearance of the patient also indicates the presence of the disease, often such people are pale, frightened, apathetic, may complain of general weakness.

[6], [7], [8]

Blood in saliva without coughing

The appearance of blood in saliva without coughing can mean the presence of diseases, the nature of which is different. Some of them either are eliminated in a very short time, or cured in fairly simple ways.

So it appears with diseases of the mouth and gums. With too vigorous brushing of teeth and using a brush with high stiff bristles, the gums will be damaged and as a consequence - the presence of blood in the saliva. To eliminate the problem it is enough to change the subject of personal hygiene, and also to acquire a remedy that will strengthen the gum. If the blood in the saliva and further is present, perhaps this is a sign of periodontal disease and can not be avoided without consulting a specialist.

The second reason for the appearance of blood in saliva without a cough is bleeding from the nose. Even if it was successfully stopped, some clots will still be in the nasopharynx for several days. Once in the mouth, they mix with saliva and are excreted when coughing up. But in some cases, this symptom indicates serious health problems, if the temperature rises, there is chest pain and weakness in the legs. The general picture indicates the presence of viral or infectious infection, a blood clot in the lungs and even cancer education. In any case, the symptoms should not be ignored and it is necessary to consult a medical institution.

Blood in saliva in the morning

Also, do not ignore the blood and spitting after a night of rest. The cause of its occurrence in the morning can be the same problem with teeth and gums. Non-compliance with oral hygiene leads to such a little pleasant feature, like gingivitis or paradantosis. The affected gums begin to bleed. This process does not stop even at night, and during this time in the mouth can accumulate a lot of bloody fluid. Another reason for this problem is the inflammatory processes of the nasopharynx, which have passed into the chronic stage. Self-medication here is strictly not recommended.

Saliva with an admixture of blood is present and with bleeding from the throat, which were caused by rupture of the capillaries. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system will lead to the presence of blood in the morning in saliva. Often a similar phenomenon is observed by patients with pneumonia. A severe cough, which is inherent in this disease, causes hemoptysis. To him leads and poisoning of the body with chemical preparations, which are very dangerous and lead to serious consequences. If the problem of blood in saliva in the morning is not associated with the oral cavity, then you should look for other reasons.

[9], [10], [11]

Blood in saliva with HIV

One of the most dangerous infections in our time is HIV. About infection it can be found only after a special analysis, because the first symptoms manifest as a usual cold. And even blood in saliva is not the main sign that a person is infected with a dangerous ailment. It only serves as a co-factor, since people with HIV are more predisposed to viral infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis, complication of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system and the gastrointestinal tract, and so on. Therefore, the blood in the saliva in these patients is not necessary, but is present, since it is one of the signs of this symptom, which at the moment is in the stage of exacerbation.

[12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]

Blood in saliva with gastritis

Patients diagnosed with gastritis should be prepared to see blood in saliva at any time. With this pathology, this symptom is an indicator that the disease has entered a phase of exacerbation, and an inflammatory process has begun in this area. It is accompanied by pains in the stomach, a constant feeling of heartburn, a malfunction of the taste buds, the presence of a white coating on the teeth.

When vomiting, which can also be during exacerbation of gastritis, there are dark blood clots in the vomit, which are signs of gastric bleeding.

[18], [19], [20], [21]

Blood in saliva after vomiting

The gag reflex is one of the important protective mechanisms of the human body, as it prevents the harmful components from entering the circulatory system. Often there is blood in the vomit, and it remains in the saliva. Its presence indicates the diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, including pancreatitis, appendicitis, cholecystitis, internal bleeding, peptic ulcer disease. In addition, the blood in the saliva can provoke and foreign bodies that were ingested during meals and even oncological diseases.

The presence of blood in the saliva after vomiting will be in people who are predisposed to this. Also, the cause of its appearance may be rupture of blood vessels during the emetic process. It is not necessary to take measures independently to eliminate the problem, in order not to do any more harm.

[22], [23], [24]

Blood in saliva with sore throat

Blood in saliva with diseases of the throat is not so often. But the appearance of such a symptom suggests the idea of tuberculosis or a malignant tumor. Sore throat is a sign of inflammatory processes in the nasopharynx, larynx, throat. Angina or pharyngitis are not direct causative factors of the appearance of blood in the saliva, but increase the likelihood of its appearance.

Any inflammatory process can lead to hemoptysis if the patient has predisposing factors: fragility of the vessels, the presence of varicose veins in the pharynx, dry strong cough, dry pharynx. Careless removal of the plaque from the tonsils can damage them, which means that a bleeding wound appears. If the angina has a high level of blood in the saliva, a compulsory examination of the doctor, since this can mean either a complication of the disease, or a pathology of the circulatory system.

[25]

Blood in saliva with tonsillitis

With tonsillitis, there is a possibility that when spitting the patient sees blood. The cause of this phenomenon is the general state of the organism, in which small vessels break, because they have a high degree of permeability. And as a result - droplets of blood get into the saliva.

In chronic tonsillitis is also present this pathological sign. When coughing or sneezing, and taking solid food in saliva, yellowish lumps of small size with an unpleasant smell come out of the tonsils. Mechanical damage to this area leads to the formation of small wounds, from which blood is excreted, which in turn falls into the saliva.

[26], [27], [28]

Blood in saliva with throat cancer

Under the cancer of the throat is meant malignant tumors in the larynx or in the pharynx. According to statistical data, he is among the twenty most common oncological diseases. At the initial stage, it is rarely detected, which significantly reduces the patient's chances of recovery.

Symptoms that serve as direct evidence of throat cancer appear much later. They are blood in saliva with cough, pain when swallowing, a sense of the presence of a foreign body in the throat. These signs last quite a long time and do not disappear even after drug treatment. The presence of blood in the saliva in the company with a prolonged cough testifies to the death of tissues in the pharynx. It is worth noting that the amount of blood allocated to women is greater than that of the stronger sex.

[29], [30], [31]

Blood in saliva after tooth extraction

Dental extraction is an operative procedure, in which the integrity of the jaw tissue is disturbed. Naturally, this procedure is accompanied by bleeding, as blood vessels are damaged. To stop the doctor uses a cotton swab. If the removal was without complications, then in half an hour the blood will be very little. In the early days, the presence of a small amount of blood in the saliva, which stains it pink, is quite normal.

Anxiety should cause a copious discharge of blood from the wound. Spitting shows a large number, and dizziness is observed. In this case, a tampon should be applied and the doctor who removed the tooth should seek help. Causes that caused bleeding may be high blood pressure, this must be reported to the dentist before the procedure, and poor blood coagulability, as well as non-compliance with the doctor's recommendations or the breakdown of the blood clot.

[32], [33], [34], [35]

Blood in the saliva of the stomach ulcer

A peptic ulcer is accompanied by bleeding in every tenth patient. It occurs as a result of rupture of blood vessels in the area where the ulcer is located. The cause of the damage may be the erosion of the vessel wall ulcer or the necrosis of the stomach tissue.

Along with blood in saliva, peptic ulcer will be accompanied by dizziness, pallor, a sharp drop in pressure, vomiting and general weakness. With low bleeding, there will also be a presence of blood in the saliva with dizziness and tachycardia. At home, it is impossible to overcome the disease, so you should seek the help of a qualified specialist.

[36], [37], [38]

Blood in saliva after mouth rinse

After rinsing the oral cavity, saliva may have blood. If the amount is not significant and the case was single, you should not self-diagnose a serious illness. Perhaps it was due to damage to the gums or dental disease.

If surgical operations were performed in the oral cavity, then some time after rinsing in the saliva there is still blood. When this symptom is accompanied by other unpleasant sensations, one should not ignore them, perhaps it is a sign of a serious illness that can lead to death.

[39], [40]

Complications and consequences

Blood in saliva as a symptom of one of the diseases can lead to negative consequences. At the first signs it is necessary to consult a doctor. At the initial stages to cope with this pathological symptom is much easier than at a later stage. Self-treatment and untimely treatment in a medical institution will not only prolong the process of treatment, but can even lead to death. It is not necessary to hope that the problem will be eliminated by itself, because only an expert can correctly diagnose and prescribe measures aimed at recovery.

Blood in saliva in most cases is not the cause of death from blood loss. But in some cases, such as pulmonary hemorrhage and bronchopulmonary bleeding, blood flows into the lower parts of the lung and the development of aspiration pneumonia. This situation can be fatal. Blood in saliva with diseases of the oral cavity also causes a number of complications that can lead to deterioration of its condition and loss of teeth.

[41], [42],

Diagnostics of the blood in the saliva

To determine the reasons for the presence of blood in saliva, the following diagnostic methods are used:

• Chest X-ray, which will help to identify inflammatory foci.
• Bronchoscopy. It is used to diagnose bronchiectasis and lung cancer. It is based on the establishment of abnormalities in the lumen of the bronchus, which narrows in tumors and pathologies.
• X-ray computed tomography will help assess the condition of the lungs and establish disseminated effects in them.
• Coagulogram is assigned for the diagnosis of blood coagulability. When it thickens, thrombi form, which disrupt the blood flow.
• Electrocardiogram. Since the blood in the saliva may appear in case of heart disorders, this procedure is necessary.
• Fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy - used in the study of the esophagus, as well as the stomach and duodenum.

[43], [44], [45], [46]

Analyzes

• Sputum analysis. With its help, the presence of a focus of inflammation and other pathologies in the bronchi is determined, which is accompanied by the release of blood and ingestion of it into the saliva.
• The analysis of sweat is necessary for detection in the patient's body of cystic fibrosis, which is a genetic disease transmitted by inheritance, which provokes the development of pathologies of the respiratory system and the gastrointestinal tract.
• A general blood test is performed to determine the inflammatory process, which is indicated by an elevated white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
• Biochemical analysis (potassium, sodium, creatinine, urea).

[47], [48], [49], [50]

Bloody saliva in the saliva

If there are bloody veins in the saliva, with prolonged cough, then it can talk about cancer. Which is also accompanied by a sharp decrease in body weight, pain in the chest and other parts of the body, suffocation, increased sweating during a night's sleep.

The presence of reddish-rusty veins in the mucous secretions of bronchi means damage to small blood vessels in the bronchi. With a strong cough, there is a likelihood of the presence of such a sign, as well as mental trauma, with high physical exertion, and against anticoagulant treatment. They appear uncontrolled and disappear after a few days.

If spitting in saliva contains not only veins of blood, but also purulent discharge that has been released not only after a cough, but also in addition to a cough reflex, it speaks of tuberculosis. For this disease, there is also an increase in body temperature to 38 ºС, weight loss, lack of appetite, a constant general weakness, there is increased sweating at night, hair loss, predominantly in women, in the early stages of the disease, a clear sign is a dry cough that lasts longer , than three weeks.

[51], [52], [53], [54]

Differential diagnosis

• in the sputum there are pus and blood veins, pain in the region of the chest (pleural character), fever - abscess of the lungs;
• "rusty" sputum, fever, there is shortness of breath, foci of inflammation in the lungs are revealed - bright symptoms of pneumonia;
• sputum discharge, in which bloody veins and pus can be seen, a noticeable loss in weight, fever - tuberculosis;
• abundant secretion of purulent sputum a considerable amount of time - bronchoectatic disease;
• a long period of sputum there are veins of blood, during this time a noticeable weight loss - bronchial cancer;
• isolation of blood clots apart from sputum, pain in the chest area, dyspnea, thrombi - lung infarction;
• foamy sputum pink color, pronounced dyspnea, concomitant with heart problems - pulmonary edema.

Treatment of the blood in the saliva

After whom, as the reasons for the blood entering the saliva will be determined and the patient's condition will improve, the physician can prescribe physiotherapy procedures that will contribute to complete recovery: CMT, microwave therapy, ultrasound therapy, electrophoresis, galvanization, hydrotherapy, chest massage, inductothermy and others. .
