Binding sensation in the mouth: causes, consequences

An astringent mouth sensation does not usually cause concern to people. And in vain, because this condition may be associated with any disease that requires diagnosis and treatment. However, immediately to run to the doctor, at the first appearance of such sensations is also not worth it. First you need to listen, to notice what is connected with this feeling, when and under what circumstances it gets stronger. Perhaps this is due to the properties of the products that you eat, then it is a natural and completely normal reaction of the body. But let's deal with everything in order.

[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]

Why knit in your mouth?

So, the first question that needs to be answered is why does it bite in your mouth? The reasons may be many. First of all, it can be a property of those foods, drinks that you eat. To make sure or refute this, you need to carefully monitor your diet, as well as those sensations that occur before a meal, during and after a meal. It should be borne in mind that the astringent mouth sensation may appear both immediately after a meal, and after a certain period of time after a meal. Almost always, astringent sensations arise in connection with eating persimmon, because it contains a large number of phytocides, glycosides, and other natural components that, when in contact with the mucous membranes of the oral cavity of humans and other animals, cause astringent sensations. Many berries and fruits have similar properties. But the most pronounced astringent properties are in persimmon. Also often pumpkin, dates, bird cherry, plum, turn knit mouths. In some cases, such sensations occur after eating cucumbers, honey, melons. This may be due to both individual intolerance, increased reactivity of the mucous membranes of the human oral cavity, and the poor quality of the product itself. Often, the so-called “pinned” vegetables and fruits cause astringent sensations, because they contain a large number of chemicals that contribute to long-term storage, accelerated maturation of products, however, adversely affect human health. Honey can cause allergies, hypersensitivity, various immune reactions, activation of the system of nonspecific resistance, which leads to an increased synthesis of histamine, inflammatory mediators, immunoglobulin, and other important components, which at the physiology level are manifested in humans as astringent sensations.

Sometimes the feeling that your mouth is knitting appears just after a meal, and this may not be related to taking any particular product. Often there are also such cases when there is no reason, the feeling with nothing, at first glance, is not connected, however, a person has a knit mouth. Why this arises is a difficult question. In this case, it is already necessary to consult a doctor, since it can be difficult to determine the cause without examination. Often this is one of the signs of pathology in the body.

Often, astringent mouth sensations are a sign of a bacterial infection. For example, a salmonella, enterococcal infection affecting the intestines is similarly manifested. This may be a sign of diisbacteriosis, in which E. Coli intensively multiplies, fills not only the intestines, but also other free niches, including the oral cavity, the digestive tract. In this case, the composition of the microflora completely changes, the normal microflora almost completely disappears and pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic develop. This entails numerous changes in the mucous membrane, impaired microcirculation, hemodynamics, biochemical properties of the mucous membranes. As a result, there are various unpleasant sensations in the mouth.

Astringent sensations appear with a high viral load, especially if the number of cytomegaloviruses and herpes virus increases. When the body is contaminated with hepatitis viruses, and accordingly, in any renal pathologies of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory origin, a similar sensation may appear. The reason may be a violation of hormonal background, biochemical parameters, indicators of immunity, changes in the microbiocenosis, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of bacterial microflora, viruses, protozoa.

One of the reasons may be poisoning or chronic intoxication of the body, which occurs due to the periodic or permanent exposure of the body toxins of endogenous and exogenous origin. For example, such sensations occur with constant overeating, obesity, or, conversely, with anorexia, depletion of the body. The cause can be poisoning with various toxic substances, low-quality alcohol, spoiled food, and even products of the body’s own vital activity.

Such sensations can occur if a person suffers from gastrointestinal diseases, infectious diseases, persistent violation of the chair. When bacterial and viral infections are often observed poisoning by bacterial endotoxins, which produce their toxins in human blood. This feeling often occurs with severe viral and bacterial diseases, especially if they are difficult and long lasting. A similar picture is observed with alcohol abuse, with neurosis, with overeating, with stress, and so on.

Almost always, astringent sensations in the mouth appear in case of kidney and liver diseases, catarrhal diseases, intestinal dysfunction, in the postoperative period. A similar picture can be observed in case of poisoning with various chemicals, gases, including carbon monoxide, other gases. If the poisoning is accompanied by a severe condition and the appearance of an astringent sensation in the mouth, this is an unfavorable sign that indicates that hemoglobin is being destroyed. A similar picture is observed on the background of various serious diseases, in the postoperative and postpartum periods.

Especially carefully you need to look at the condition of children, if they complain of astringent sensations in the mouth: they often have parasitic infections, Giardia, enterobiosis, worms, and astringent sensations in the mouth can be one of the signs of such a condition. You also need to carefully treat your feelings in the event that you recently returned from tropical countries. There is also a high probability of infestation by parasites. In addition, astringent sensation may indicate the initial stage of development of malaria, plague, and tropical fever. Thus, it is impossible to say unequivocally what exactly causes astringent sensations in the mouth.

In more severe cases, astringent sensations are associated with the development of tumors, anemia, destruction of red blood cells and white blood cells, immunodeficiencies. This can be a sign of anemia, multiple hemorrhages, blood cancer. In seriously ill patients, such conditions develop in cardiac, renal, hepatic, pulmonary insufficiency, liver cirrhosis, and renal pathology.

Persimmon Mouth Knit

There is no such person who would not notice that the persimmon is knitting his mouth. Perhaps one of the main properties of persimmon - the ability to cause astringent sensations in the mouth. This is achieved due to the high content of phytoncides, glycosides in the composition of the juice. In contact with enzymes of saliva, as well as with the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, microflora, juice stimulates the receptors, causing astringent sensations. It is worth noting that during this reaction, stimulation of local receptors occurs. As a result, the production of local immunoglobulin is enhanced, which contributes to the activation of the system of nonspecific resistance, entails an increase in local immunity, the normalization of microflora. Thus, it is worth noting that the persimmon is tying the mouth, but this is exactly what provides for an increase in the body's defense mechanisms, activation of local immunity, antiviral properties and normalization of microflora. Especially useful persimmon in winter.

Mouthwort Berries

There are quite a few berries, which include phytoncides, glycosides, fluoroquinolones, and other compounds. In fact, these are natural substances that act as antibiotics, antiviral and immunostimulating substances, which significantly stimulate the protective properties of the body, increase its endurance and resistance to many infectious diseases. Mouth - knitting berries, blackthorn, blueberry, mulberry. Under certain circumstances, berries such as raspberries, strawberries, lingonberries, cloudberries may also have astringent properties.

However, it is erroneous to believe that only useful properties are associated with astringent sensations. Some spoiled berries, as well as berries, impaled or impregnated with toxic substances, toxins, mineral, organic or inorganic fertilizers, can cause similar sensations.

Astringent sensations can occur when the individual intolerance berries, with an allergic reaction. The berries contain a large amount of natural oils, including essential oils, fats, essential and non-essential amino acids. All these substances have different effects on metabolic processes in the body. Under certain circumstances, flavonoids, phytoncides, glycerides, which are part of the berries, can cause symptoms of intoxication, hyperreactivity of the organism. Especially often this occurs if the berry is spoiled (in this case, the level of the above substances increases dramatically, as a result of which they can cause poisoning).

A particular danger is that all these substances can develop an allergic reaction. Often there are cases of individual intolerance of individual components. Often, astringent sensations after taking the berries occur during pregnancy: against the background of hormonal and metabolic rearrangements, hypersensitivity, sensitization, toxemia. In this case, the individual reaction to individual components can vary significantly, to the extent that symptoms of poisoning develop, other pathological conditions.

Mouth Binding Fruits

You can find a lot of fruits, mouth binder. In addition, everyone can have their own, individual response to any fruit. For example, the simplest tomato, in some people can cause astringent sensations, in others - not. Knitting sensations often cause apricots, peaches, cucumbers, pumpkins, peppers. The astringent sensations are caused by many spoiled fruits, over-ripe foods. This is due to the fact that in the juice and pulp of such products the concentration of biologically active components, phytoncides, and other substances sharply increases. Astringent sensations may indicate poisoning by a damaged fruit.

The main precautionary measure is the careful selection of the product, the selection of ripe but not overripe fruits, careful processing. Do not get the fruit is too soft to the touch, which breaks easily, crumble. This may indicate that they have been stored for quite a long time. In such products, as a rule, extremely high levels of flavonoids, phytoncides, and other components. It is they that cause the astringent sensation in the mouth, and under certain circumstances they can cause poisoning.

It is also not necessary to acquire immature, green fruits, especially if you see immature, green areas when cutting. Often immature fruits may contain natural phytoncides in high, excessive concentrations. Or they are deliberately pricked with antibiotics, other biologically active substances, which are often poorly tolerated by the human body.

Why do cucumbers knit their mouths?

If cucumbers knit your mouth, you need to find out why this happens. First of all, you need to make sure that the cucumbers are of high quality, that when processing them no chemicals were used that could adversely affect the human body. Cucumbers must be thoroughly washed, preferably under running water, and completely wash off all the spines, pimples. This will avoid irritation of the receptors of the mucous membranes, as a result of which it is possible to reduce the intensity of astringent sensations, or to completely remove them.

Often, cucumbers knit the mouth in pregnant, lactating mothers, because they have hormonal changes, there is a change in sensitivity, sensitization of the body. In children younger than 3–4 years old, cucumbers make their mouths knit, since the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, the microflora, and the system of nonspecific resistance are still at the stage of formation.

Bird cherry knits mouth

Prunus is among the berries that knit the mouth. This can occur for various reasons, but most often due to the fact that the fruits contain a large amount of black and saturated juice. In some people, this is a natural reaction of the system of nonspecific resistance, in which local immunity is stimulated, and a large amount of immunoglobulin is secreted. This provides a high body resistance to infections, viruses. But sometimes it can be a hypersensitivity reaction, in which the development of an allergic reaction occurs, the body's sensitization increases, a local reaction occurs at the level of the oral mucous membranes. Binding properties of bird cherry are widely used in medicine: for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract of various origins, for gastritis, enteritis, food poisoning, infectious diseases of the stomach and intestines, and even for pathologies such as dysentery, diarrhea, intolerance to any foods, indigestion. Quite an effective remedy for ulcerative and erosive gastritis, for ulcers, gastric bleeding.

Dates knit mouth

Dates often knit the mouth, and often this is due to the individual characteristics of the human body. Astringent sensations may indicate individual intolerance, hypersensitivity of the body, hyperreactivity, sensitization. It is better not to use dates in this case, but to consult with your doctor (allergist, immunologist). Sometimes these sensations occur in children under 5 years of age, since they have not yet fully formed microflora, and the protective properties of the mucous membranes. People who suffer from chronic infectious diseases, people with various dysbacteriosis and disorders of the normal state of microbiocenosis fall into the group of people who experience astringent sensations when using dates.

Why knit mouth after a meal?

In the event that you simply knit your mouth after eating, without having a connection with a specific product, you can talk about the presence of any pathologies in the body. What exactly is broken in the body is quite difficult to say without prior diagnosis, without consulting a doctor. Therefore, it is recommended in this case to undergo a comprehensive examination. First you need to make sure that this is not a random reaction to the product that has astringent properties, or not an individual feature of the body. Trace, perhaps, the appearance of such sensations associated with the use of certain products. It is important to track under what circumstances such complaints appear, and be sure to tell the doctor about it. This may be an important diagnostic feature. Also, after each meal, try to thoroughly rinse your mouth with clean boiled water, and monitor whether sensations remain.

Pumpkin knits in the mouth

Pumpkin has astringent properties, so after eating dishes that include pumpkin, it is often necessary to note that it knits the mouth. Pumpkin has an astringent effect due to the fact that it contains quite a lot of tanning and astringent components. Thanks to these substances, pumpkin has an immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic effect, removes toxins and has wound-healing properties.

If honey knits honey in your mouth?

Honey is a complex compound. If honey knits in the mouth, it may be due to different reasons. It can be both the properties of the honey itself, and individual body reactions to the effects of those components that are part of the honey. The most pronounced astringent properties has buckwheat, flower honey. The older the honey, the more it is candied, the more astringent it causes. It is also worth noting that many people do not tolerate honey, they develop a hypersensitivity reaction when combining the components of honey with saliva. Such sensations may indicate the development of an allergic reaction, so it is better to postpone taking honey, at least until you consult with your doctor.

[15]

Risk factors

First of all, people who have a heightened reaction, body sensitization to various substances, biologically active components are at risk. These include people with varying degrees of severity of pathological reactions of an allergic nature, people with impaired microflora, hormonal levels, and immune status. The risk group should include all people suffering from acute and chronic diseases of the kidneys, liver, stomach, intestines. Astringent sensations can appear for no reason in cancer patients, in immunocompromised patients, even immunodeficiency. Sometimes, on the contrary, such painful astringent sensations occur in individuals with excessively high immunity, who develop autoimmune pathologies. The risk group includes patients who have recently undergone surgery, anesthesia, anesthesia, people who for a long time take analgesics, painkillers and narcotic drugs, sedatives, tranquilizers, antidepressants. The risk group includes people returning from hot countries, where there is a risk of parasitic invasion, bacterial and viral infections.

Risk factors include lack of vaccination, susceptibility to frequent diseases. This includes people who are not vaccinated against major infections (according to the vaccination schedule). At risk include seriously ill patients, people with poisoning, autointoxication, chronic infectious diseases. Also, as a risk factor, one can single out the effects on the body of various physical, chemical, and biological factors. Thus, astringent sensations in the mouth most often occur in those who, due to their professional duties, are forced to come into contact with chemical and biological agents: microorganisms, viruses.

People who are in contact with infectious patients (district physicians, emergency doctors, employees of infectious departments of hospitals, bacteriologists, virologists, epidemiologists) also get here. All people who are in constant contact with chemicals, especially concentrated and highly active, are at risk. Also at risk are people who are often exposed to various types of radiation (working with x-ray machines, MRI), and people (patients) receiving chemotherapy.

Risk factors include various drugs, their long-term and uncontrolled intake, antibiotic therapy, contact with poisons, toxins, organic and inorganic substances. This especially applies to agricultural employees who are constantly in contact with fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides. This also includes builders, repairmen working with construction and repair materials.

Pathogenesis

It is rather difficult to describe the pathogenesis, since the mechanism of its development is determined by the reason underlying it. The reasons, as we have already found out, can be quite a lot, and they all determine their specific features of pathology. The basis of pathogenesis may be a violation of sensitivity, susceptibility, receptor reactivity, which entails symptoms of intoxication, various unpleasant sensations, including astringent sensations. Often, against this background, various hormonal changes develop. The composition and quality of microflora, mucus, saliva changes significantly, as a result of which astringent sensations appear.

If astringent sensations appear in pregnant women, then many changes occur in their bodies. Almost all types of perception change: tactile, taste, tactile sensations. Often against the background of pregnancy, toxicosis develops, which causes similar sensations. When feeding, in the period of postmenopause, in the senile period, astringents and other similar sensations in the mouth often develop. This is due to changes in the hormonal background and activity of the immune system, with features of local and systemic immunity, with the state of the microflora. This is observed with various poisonings: mushrooms, low-quality food, alcohol, drugs, chemicals.

Astringent sensations in the mouth can appear in patients with diseases of the kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal tract pathologies (gastritis, enteritis, biliary dyskinesia, and other pathologies). Often, astringent sensations are observed in liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, and stomatitis.

Statistics

According to statistics, in about 78% of cases, the appearance of astringent sensations in the mouth is a sign of an individual body reaction. This may be a violation of hormonal background, an imbalance of immunity, increased reactivity, sensitization of the body. In about 10% of cases, the cause is poisoning. Various chemical, biological substances, drugs can act as a poisoning substance. There is both endogenous and exogenous poisoning. Often, poisoning develops as a result of exposure to carbon monoxide. In 5% of cases, the cause is a severe viral or bacterial infection, parasitic invasion. Approximately 3-4% due to hormonal and immune pathologies, including those that occur in connection with pregnancy, lactation, menopause, age and senile changes.

Astringent mouth symptom

If you carefully followed how, when, under what circumstances, there are astringent sensations in the mouth, and found out that they have nothing to do with food intake, then most likely, the astringent sensation in the mouth is a symptom of the disease. But which one is difficult to say without undergoing diagnostics. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor as soon as possible and undergo an appropriate diagnosis.

Usually the doctor is inclined to conduct a comprehensive examination. This is due to the fact that there may be a lot of reasons, and in the course of diagnostics, it is necessary to determine as accurately as possible the cause that caused the astringent sensations. This will allow you to choose the most appropriate treatment, and kk can get rid of the problem.

The basis of diagnosis in most cases is the examination of the patient. It is important to collect the anamnesis as accurately as possible, to analyze it. In most cases, a general physical examination of the patient, an inspection of the oral cavity, rhinoscopy and laryngoscopy are carried out first. Then, if any pathology is suspected, appropriate tests, additional expert consultations are appointed. Often you hear the question of what methods are used in the diagnosis. It is worth noting that it is almost impossible to say which methods will be used for diagnostics. It all depends on what pathologies are revealed, what suspicions are.

It also depends in part on which doctor conducts the examination, since each specialist has his own range of diagnostic methods. For example, if you suspect a pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, methods such as abdominal ultrasound, gastroscopy, gastroduodenoscopy, and other methods are used. If kidney and urinary tract diseases are suspected, an x-ray of the kidneys, rheography, and ultrasound of the kidneys are used.

Depending on what the cause of the pathology was identified, an appropriate diagnosis is made, and treatment is selected. In most cases, stop on etiological treatment. It is based on the immediate elimination of the reason why the astringent sensation appeared. This is usually the most effective method, since it is sufficient to eliminate the cause, and the astringent sensations will disappear on their own as a result. However, there is often a need for symptomatic treatment. In this case, means are used that are aimed directly at eliminating the very astringent sensation (for example, using special medicines, herbal decoctions, means for rinsing and irrigating the mouth and throat).

The first signs should be considered periodically unpleasant sensation in the mouth, mild discomfort, viscosity, thick, sticky saliva. At first, these sensations only periodically arise, but gradually increase, they begin to bother a person more and more often, they become longer and longer in time. Sometimes these sensations are accompanied by a slight tingling, numbness of the mouth, tongue.

[44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49]

Plaque on the tongue and knits in the mouth

The main reason that you knit in your mouth, and there was a raid on the tongue, is a bacterial infection. This condition is often observed in tonsillitis, tonsillitis, inflammation of the tonsils, chronic infections of the nasopharynx and oropharynx. Such sensations can be a sign that a person has reduced immunity, increased bacterial viral load on the body, violated the normal microflora. Often a concomitant factor is hormonal imbalance.

In addition, plaque on the tongue, combined with the feeling that the mouth knits, often indicates that the person has a disturbed normal state of the gastrointestinal tract. In particular, there is a violation of motility and motility, congestion, marked intestinal microflora.

Astringent in combination with bloom, can be observed with bleeding, bleeding gums, with dental diseases, as well as during pregnancy, menstruation, during lactation, in post menopause, in old age. Such a picture can also be a sign of the development of cancer in the early stages.

Sometimes the basis of pathogenesis is the development of the intoxication process. When severe intoxication appears plaque on the tongue, astringent sensations in the mouth, various unpleasant taste sensations and smells. Gradually, damage occurs to the blood cells, liver, destruction of red blood cells with a further release of free hemoglobin into the blood. Often this is due to the fact that in case of poisoning, the epithelium dies off, the microflora changes. As a result, after some time, the composition of mucocial clearance completely changes (it includes mucous secretion, synthesized substances, cellular and tissue elements). This entails the appearance of astringent sensations in the mouth. Numerous changes in the mucous membranes occur, and additional stimulation of the ciliary epithelium develops. Gradually, a new microflora may appear, with other characteristics and properties, which also entails the development of astringent sensations in the mouth.

[50]

Unpleasant sensation in the mouth as knits

Different unusual sensations in the mouth may appear for various reasons. If you are worried about an obscure, but rather unpleasant sensation in your mouth (how it knits), it is better not to wait for what happens next, but go to a doctor and determine why such sensations appear. Conventionally, there are several reasons:

1. You consumed a product that caused astringent sensations. This may be due to the properties of the product, or with an individual reaction to this product. For example, persimmon, bird cherry, gooseberry - by nature have astringent properties, and all people cause similar sensations. Usually, in this case, you just need to wait until the action of the active components that make up the product ends.
2. There was a poisoning. But in this case, in addition to astringent sensations in the mouth, dizziness and abdominal pain are often troubling. It should provide plenty of drink, drink milk. You should call an ambulance, and before the arrival of the doctor to ensure the patient peace.
3. Astringent sensations in the mouth, especially those accompanied by abundant salivation, can be a sign of gastrointestinal lesions: exacerbations of gastritis, ulcers, colitis, enteritis.
4. May be a sign of bacterial or viral infection, parasitic invasion. Such symptoms can be observed even a cold, while taking antibiotics, with hormone therapy, chemotherapy. You can assume the development of intestinal infections, or the development of fungal microflora.
5. Binding sensations in the mouth can be a sign of damage to the kidneys, liver, the development of diseases of the urinary tract. Sometimes such sensations arise in connection with impaired metabolic processes in the body (occur as a result of exposure to toxins, which enter the body in various ways).
6. Often, astringent sensations in the mouth appear after drinking alcohol. This may be due to poisoning. Binding sensations in the mouth often arise from alcohol, which includes methyl alcohol. Most often, astringent sensations in the mouth appear in two radically opposite cases: they appear either in alcoholics who abuse alcohol, drink long, systematically drink, at the level of hard drinking. Or, in the second case, astringent sensations can occur among those who have not drunk for a long time, and drink extremely rarely. Astringent sensations are a symptom of intoxication and are often observed in case of pathology of the liver, kidneys, increased stress on these organs. In this case, detoxification therapy is usually required: you should drink the sorbent.
7. Astringent sensations in the mouth can appear after anesthesia, anesthesia, after surgery, loss of consciousness, and being in a coma. Typically, these feelings pass on their own within 3-4 days.
8. May occur after dental procedures. For example, if you recently sealed a tooth, put a crown. As a rule, in the first days after a visit to the dentist, you may have a knitting sensation in your mouth. Especially intensely, these sensations appear after the use of some antiseptics, after the use of painkillers, local anesthesia.

Knits mouth and dryness

If dry mouth and astringent sensations are the only symptoms that a person feels, this may indicate caries, hypersensitivity of the gums, dental diseases such as gingivitis, stomatitis, pulpitis, and others. It can also be a sign of hypertrophied thirst, ordinary dehydration, an allergic reaction. If this causes a strong burning sensation, this may indicate poisoning by chemicals that have gotten through the oral cavity (it is possible that a chemical burn of the mucous membranes, the oral cavity, the esophagus has occurred).

[51]

Consequences and complications

The consequences and complications of everything. Even the appearance of the usual astringent sensations in the mouth can lead to serious complications, and can cause the development of serious pathology. For example, astringent sensation can be a sign of intoxication, bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic infection, oncological, inflammatory process. If you do not pay attention to this condition in a timely manner, and do not cure it, the consequences can be serious, even fatal. Often, astringent sensations in the mouth indicate pathology, gastrointestinal tract, which can later develop into severe forms of gastritis, ulcers, cause gastric bleeding, anorexia, exhaustion, and metabolic disturbances. No less dangerous are the consequences of hormonal disorders, immunity, and microflora. Astringent sensations can be a sign of poisoning, or internal intoxication of the body (autointoxication), which occurs in the background of any obvious or hidden diseases. A high degree of danger remains with a high viral load. An astringent sensation in the mouth may also indicate a pathology of the kidneys and liver. Lack of treatment may result in hepatic and renal failure, further multiple organ failure, death, or a prolonged coma.
