The reasons for the loss of metal in the mouth in women

Although a specific sensation of a metallic taste can be associated with the presence of metal particles in the tongue, most often it has a different mechanism of occurrence.

These symptoms can be observed in people when processing metals, as well as when working with certain dyes. In such cases, when the metal flashing occurs in the mouth, you should consult a toxicologist in order to exclude poisoning;
• in people who were exposed to ionizing radiation, as well as when inhalation of such a toxic compound as hydrogen sulfide or non -toxic, but a sufficiently dangerous hydrogen peroxide, a flatter of metal in the mouth can be observed;
• when blood enters the oral cavity, the release of iron from hemoglobin occurs, this phenomenon, in turn, causes a similar sensation;
• during pregnancy, the taste of metal in the mouth can occur as a result of hormonal changes in the body.
