Dry mouth, dry eyes, dry skin, what may be the cause?

In winter, many people will have dry mouth, dry eyes and dry skin. They will feel that no matter how much water they drink, they are still very dry. The main reason is that they get angry, which can also be said to be caused by dry weather. This is the so-called Sjogren's syndrome. In addition, symptoms of diabetes and thyroid diseases may appear.

Sjogren's syndrome is actually a chronic inflammation characterized by decreased secretion of lacrimal gland and salivary gland, and its main feature is dryness. If you find yourself suffering from Sjogren's syndrome, you must treat it correctly to avoid organ damage caused by long-term dryness and even affect joints and nervous system. The main treatment is skin care, wiping with warm water every day to prevent chapped skin, applying moisturizing products and reducing the use of alkaline soap. The other is eye care, rest more, use artificial tears, pay attention to sun protection when going out, and don't rub your eyes with your hands to reduce the time and frequency of watching electronic products. Nose care is not mainly about picking the nose, but using normal saline to drop nasal drops. Oral care is mainly to apply lip balm, pay attention to oral hygiene, sip water many times, and don't wait until you are thirsty. Eat a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat lean meat, avoid spicy and exciting food, and avoid eating particularly dry food, such as biscuits and bread.

In addition to Sjogren's syndrome, it may be caused by diabetes. Patients will have symptoms such as drinking water many times, polyuria, overeating and weight loss. The increase of blood sugar will damage the organs of the body, and complications will endanger the life safety of patients. Therefore, when you find yourself with these symptoms, you must go to the hospital for examination in time.

Hyperthyroidism also causes these symptoms. Because diseases can lead to metabolic imbalance, the body needs more water, and patients are prone to dry mouth. Vitamin A deficiency can also lead to these symptoms. Men, women and children should pay attention to a balanced diet and supplement vitamin A in time to prevent illness. These are all possible reasons for symptoms such as dry mouth.
