What is the reason why the stomach drools when sleeping on the side?

What was wrong just now? Please correct me.

Drooling during sleep is generally caused by the following factors:

First, poor oral hygiene: the temperature and humidity in the oral cavity are most suitable for the reproduction of bacteria, and food residues or sugar substances accumulate between the teeth and the tooth surface, which is prone to dental caries and periodontal disease. These unfavorable factors are irritating and drool when sleeping. Inflammation in the mouth can also promote saliva secretion. If the mouth is infected by bacteria, the pain is obvious and it is easy to drool. Local medication is needed to promote ulcer healing, and drooling will disappear automatically.

Second, the front teeth are deformed: this may be due to acquired bad habits caused by genetic factors, such as biting nails, sticking out your tongue, biting pencils, etc. , causing the front teeth to deform and drool when sleeping.

Third, neuromodulation disorder: the regulation of saliva secretion is completely reflective. The so-called "looking at plum to quench thirst" is an example of conditioned reflex saliva secretion in daily life. Some patients with neurosis or other systemic diseases that may cause autonomic nervous disorders may also have abnormal excitement of parasympathetic nerves during sleep, which may cause the brain to send wrong signals and cause increased saliva secretion. Therefore, the disorder of neuromodulation can also lead to drooling during sleep.

Fourth, it may be improper sleeping position. Like sleeping on your desk and sleeping on your side, it is easy to cause drooling.

In addition to oral problems, some systemic diseases can also lead to drooling during sleep.

Sixth, in addition, one of the side effects of taking some antiepileptic drugs is drooling, so you need to pay attention when choosing drugs.

Drooling while sleeping may be due to spleen deficiency.

Some people suffer from "drooling at night". When they get up in the morning, they always find their pillows wet. This little problem seems to be just a matter of personal habit, which is difficult to correct. Have you ever thought that this is caused by spleen deficiency? Saliva, also known as oral liquid and saliva, refers to the thinner part of saliva. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that saliva is transformed from temper, which is spread and dispersed, so there is a saying that "the spleen in the liquid is saliva". Under the condition of sufficient temper, the "fixation" function of the spleen and the metaplasia of saliva are normal, so saliva can be conducted normally to help swallowing and digestion, but it will not overflow the mouth. However, in the case of spleen deficiency, the "fixation" function of the spleen is abnormal, and saliva cannot be transmitted normally, thus causing the phenomenon of "drooling". Therefore, if you want to overcome the problem of drooling during sleep, you may wish to consider spleen deficiency and ask a doctor for syndrome differentiation.
