Many factors can make the mouth always feel dry. Usually we assume that the mouth feels dry and often thirsty because of lack of fluids, but that's not always the case. So what are the causes?

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving the HTML tags is: "A study in 2017 revealed that stress, anxiety, and depression can reduce the production of saliva. This is determined by measuring the amount of saliva produced by the salivary glands in 1 minute without any stimulation, and a decrease in production can cause dry mouth."

Injury around the head that damages nerves in specific areas risks affecting the nerve signal system to the salivary glands. Additionally, when there is a salivary gland stone in the duct, it will cause a blockage in the duct, resulting in decreased saliva production and a dry mouth sensation.

Women also experience dry mouth more often than men, even elderly people are more likely to be affected by this condition. This is because saliva production decreases with age.
