Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)
Decoding Perimenopausal
What does it feel like?
A persistent dry, sticky feeling in the mouth, often causing difficulty speaking or swallowing.
Hormonal changes reduce saliva production, leading to dryness.
Why does this happen during perimenopause?
How can you manage or sooth this symptom?
Sip water throughout the day, chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva, and use mouth moisturizers or sprays. Avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes, which can worsen dryness.
