Does Lack Of Estrogen Cause Dry Mouth?
my doctor found out that I had no estrogen , even though I still had my ovary, I am 61..I knew my body needed this. I got dry mouth with dry eyes, but since my doctor but me estradiol 0.5, and put it under my tongue, I notice that my mouth wasn t dry. When I would wake up my mouth would feel like it was on fire, it was the worse feeling, I could hardly swollen, but the estradiol has stop the dry mouth. The question is could my body been so mess up with out the estrogen , that would have cause the dry mouth, eyes ?

Yes, in post menopause lack of estrogen may lead to dry mouth and mucosa. Hormone replacement may recover this condition. Also, check for other possibilities Sjogren's syndrome or Vitamin A deficiency or anemia or systemic sclerosis etc.
