Why do I feel dry mouth after sex?

In daily life, many people experience dry mouth, but this has not attracted enough attention. Dry mouth is a superficial symptom caused by a variety of causes, and behind this symptom, there are often some diseases hidden. After sex, people often feel hot and thirsty. However, since the sympathetic nerves are more excited during sexual intercourse, the gastrointestinal blood flow will be reduced compared to usual times.

Why does sex make you dry-mouthed?

Dry mouth is not an independent disease, but it is indeed a discomfort that many people can feel. The most severe dry mouth occurs in people with Sjögren's syndrome. Because the immune response destroys the parotid glands, salivary glands in the mouth, lacrimal glands and glands in the nasal mucosa, it causes patients to experience unbearable dry mouth, dry eyes and dry nose. It has troubled many people, especially the elderly, either permanently or temporarily. In severe cases, it can make it difficult to rotate the tongue and affect language communication and eating.

Dry mouth should not be ignored.

A satisfying sex always makes people's blood boil. After a good sex, it is inevitable to sweat and feel dry mouth.

However, since the sympathetic nerves are more excited during sexual intercourse, the gastrointestinal blood flow will be reduced compared to usual times. Therefore, drinking cold water immediately before the congestion of the gastrointestinal mucosa returns to normal will cause the gastrointestinal mucosa to suddenly become cold, causing certain damage and may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort or colic, especially in winter. Chen Zhong reminds that if you feel thirsty after sex, you might as well drink a small amount of warm water or boiled water, and try not to drink iced drinks.

There are also many people who feel that they sweat profusely and feel sticky all over after sex, and they have to take a cold shower to feel comfortable. Sex is a relatively intense activity, and taking a shower immediately afterwards can cause symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath. Especially taking a cold shower will cause the blood vessels in the skin to contract suddenly, and a large amount of blood will flow back to the heart, thereby increasing the burden on the heart.
