Thank you for taking this survey
Dry mouth (also known as burning mouth) is experienced by approximately 30% of post menopause women. The medical term is xerostomia.
There are multiple causes of dry mouth including many medications and medical illnesses. Menopause is also a risk factor. There are estrogen receptors throughout the oral cavity!
I am doing research to learn more about the impact of menopause on dry mouth, and also to see if there is a relationship between vaginal dryness and dry mouth.
Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this research. It should take about 3-4 minutes and if you choose, at the end you can enter to win a 1 year subscription to my paid substack.
My substack is free to all but paid subscribers get extra articles and are invited to a once monthly Ask Me Anything webinar. For more information on my substack, go to DrStreicher.Substack.com
