Bad breath from stomach worsening after sex: causes and solutions?

“Doctor, I have been suffering from a very bad breath that seems to come from my stomach for a long time, for more than six years. The smell is very strong and unpleasant. It becomes much worse especially after sexual activity. I am really concerned and would like to know the cause and what I should do.”

Usually the bad smell originates from the mouth (microbiota, hygiene etc).
It could be due to gastric or intestinal problems especially in cases of delayed gastric emptying or severe intestinal distention.
You should consult a gastroenterologist.
