Causes of hematoma formation on the oral mucosa
The general scheme of hematoma formation is as follows: a rupture of a vessel causes the leakage of a certain amount of blood, followed by its compaction and the appearance of a blood clot. A bubble forms, noticeable on the smooth surface of the mucosa due to its dark coloring and relief. Often a similar picture can be observed during teething, when the gums bleed and become inflamed. The formation of multiple small hematomas, covering the entire surface of the mucous membrane in the mouth with unattractive dark spots, looks very unpleasant for the patient. But don’t panic if you suspect you have a serious illness. As practice shows, most of these phenomena occur due to mechanical trauma to the mucous membrane. But there are exceptions when the symptom indicates:
- allergic reaction;
- chronic injury;
- consequences of stressful situations;
- burns or cuts to the mucous membrane.
There have also been cases when multiple hematomas in the oral cavity are signs of:
- diabetes mellitus;
- hypertension;
- renal failure;
- complex types of stomatitis;
- blood diseases;
- vitamin deficiency, which causes fragility of blood vessels.
The exact cause and stage of formation of the pathology can only be determined after a thorough examination and diagnosis. For this reason, you should not self-medicate, so as not to further injure damaged tissues.
SexCorrect bite: How to choose the right gag
TEXT: Tatyana Nikonova, author of the sex blog Nikonova.online
Gags have long been widely used in sexual games, but while some people lovingly gag their partners, others only dream about it - the inability to talk excites and allows you to focus on pleasure. However, choosing the right one for you or your partner is not an obvious thing. We'll tell you what rules you need to follow to shut your mouth to everyone's satisfaction.
The first thing to remember: do not use gags if you or your partner have cardiovascular or pulmonary disease, asthma, epilepsy or claustrophobia. The list of contraindications also includes any type of acute respiratory infection and jaw dislocation in the past. If all this doesn’t apply to you, feel free to go to a well-known sex shop or a trusted network: remember that everything you put into yourself should be made of high-quality materials, and in a small store selling no-name you can get different things.
A gag is an item for individual use, like a toothbrush. If you can exchange saliva with a regular partner as much as you like, then in other cases a separate item is bought, and not pulled out of the bins, they say, I have this thing here that was stuck in a variety of people. Don’t do this, and don’t be tempted by stories about disinfection.
Determine the purpose of using the gag. If it is necessary to prevent a person from saying a word, the bulk of the gag is located inside the mouth and secures the lower jaw and tongue. For beginners, this option is unlikely to be pleasant - it is usually used in BDSM games, where physical and psychological discomfort are important. But sexual moaning from a partially closed mouth is very exciting and is unlikely to lead to injury. It’s best to start with a snaffle - a stick covered with soft material that doesn’t force you to keep your mouth wide open: you won’t get tired with it and you definitely won’t confuse indignant sounds with satisfied ones.
There are several important requirements for a ball gag. First, look for one that is hollow and has holes so you don't have to worry about air leaks. Secondly, choose the right size. Open your mouth as if you were about to bite into a large hamburger, hold it for about twenty seconds, then measure the distance between your teeth - this will be the maximum diameter of the ball of your gag. In fact, you should take one finger less, otherwise your jaw will immediately go numb. Thirdly, the material of the gag must be soft and elastic, because you will have to dig into the ball with your teeth. Take care of your teeth, you will need them later.
Another type of gag is a ring or spacers. The mouth is not closed with them, but it will not be possible to talk because it does not close. Use on a person who trusts you, since such items always evoke an acute feeling of defenselessness, and this only brings pleasure if there is real intimacy. But rings and spacers provide access to oral sex. Men can use any comfortable variety, women can use a ring because it’s easy to spit out if things get uncomfortable.
A gagged person should be prepared to drool, as should his partner. Even so: TO THE DROEL. Most gags do not allow you to swallow normally, so a lot of saliva accumulates. Hence the requirement for air access to the mouth - it will flow in the opposite direction. Also, never put a gagged person on his back - he may suffocate from an excess of drool, or it will cause him to vomit (and the gag has not yet been removed!). In general, drooling is good and means that everything is more or less in order.
A gag involves tied hands, but it is better to keep both of them conditionally fixed. The safest gag is on a wide soft tape (for example, neoprene) with Velcro fastener. You can remove it yourself if something goes wrong. Hands can also be tied, but loosely for ease of untangling. You are playing, right? Therefore, the rules can be followed formally. In difficult situations, it is suggested to agree on a safe word in advance, but you can’t chat much with your mouth shut, so agree on the movements, or, for example, you can pick up a bell. Any sound of it is a sign to completely stop actions.
But it is not necessary to buy a gag; you can always use improvised means. But so that arbitrariness does not end tragically, remember the main rules. The gag should be soft. A ribbon, tie or even a T-shirt - no hard objects to avoid getting hurt. You can injure the edges of your mouth or mucous membranes, and even break your teeth. This is not entertainment, but self-harm.
Another important rule for homemade gags is that everything should be more or less clean and not contain anything dangerous in or on itself. For example, a T-shirt that was used to paint a wall will leave traces of paint on it, and they are not for ingestion - neither for ingestion nor for inhalation over time. Therefore, even if passion suddenly dismantles you, move to a more suitable place and find safe objects.
A homemade gag should consist strictly of one item, only then will you be able to keep everything under control - regardless of whether you are wearing it or you are putting it on. Specifically, this means that you either gag or put something inside but don't put it together. The film "Candy" with Rose McGowan begins with gagging errors and leads to tragedy: a girl is stuffed with a ping-pong ball in her mouth and gagged, the heroine suffocates and dies.
In general, tying is better than tucking, and a narrow bandage that leaves access for breathing through the mouth is preferable to a wide bandage covering half the face. Firstly, it is difficult to suffocate. Secondly, it is not difficult to spit out a neat and not very wide bandage. Thirdly, a narrow headband is a soft version of a bit, and if necessary, you can even say something.
What you definitely shouldn't do is use tape instead of a gag. The glue causes skin irritation, peeling off the tape is as painful as doing waxing, and the wide tape does not allow you to breathe through your mouth or speak. A little runny nose - and hello. The only option is a special vinyl tape that sticks only to itself, but not to the skin. It looks like tape, but you have to wrap it around your head instead of the movie silver stripe from cheek to cheek.
If you still want to put something in your mouth, then choose something with a volume of no more than half a woman’s fist. That is, thong panties will do, but family size 56 panties should mostly hang outward from the mouth.
Well, the simplest, but also the most important rule that sums up all of the above: do not do anything to a loved one that you would not want done to you, and always first obtain his consent. You yourself will be healthier, and the chances that your partner will like it and want to repeat it are rapidly growing.

Symptoms of hematomas in the oral cavity
The most noticeable sign is the spread of vesicles with bloody contents throughout the mucosa. Often there are no other symptoms of pathology. Sometimes patients complain of itching and tingling in the area of damaged tissue. Doctors say that this is a reaction to additional chemical and mechanical irritation of the inflamed mucous membrane under the influence of saliva, contact with teeth, etc. When hematomas form on the oral mucosa during tooth eruption, there are sensations of bursting and pressure from within the gum tissue. If inflammation has become a complication of a burn, pain is a logical consequence of mechanical irritation of the mucous membrane.
Signs of the appearance of blood balls on the cheeks in the mouth, requiring immediate examination and diagnosis, are included in a separate group. Among them:
- relatively frequent appearance of a large number of points of inflammation;
- the duration of wound healing, despite the measures taken to treat them;
- hematomas that are too large, interfering with eating and full communication;
- formation of bloody balls on the lips.
Each of these signs can be a symptom of serious disorders in the body. Therefore, the optimal solution would be to refuse self-medication and schedule a consultation with a qualified dentist.
Can I delete it myself?
Everyone needs to know what to do if there are purulent plugs in the throat. Self-medication with them is highly undesirable.
Doctors do not recommend performing procedures to remove tonsil plugs on your own. The risk of harm in such a situation is much higher than the opportunity to cure a sore throat. As a result of such manipulations, there is a danger of injuring the lymphoid tissues, which will cause heavy bleeding, which may require urgent medical attention. Also, improper cleansing of the tonsils sometimes provokes the spread of infection throughout the body, which is dangerous to health.
Doctors consider squeezing out with the tongue to be the only relatively safe method of removing plugs on your own. They press on the tonsils, causing the plugs to come out. After this, the throat is gargled to remove them. Swallowing purulent accumulations is extremely harmful. The tongue does not injure the delicate tissues of the mucous membrane and will not exert dangerous strong pressure, at which pus can escape inside, when there is a high probability of developing sepsis. A person will not harm himself during such cleansing.
Also, although doctors do not recommend it, sometimes they do home cleansing of the tonsils using a cotton swab or swab. The method is risky and traumatic, since you can press too hard and provoke the release of pus into deep tissues with the subsequent development of dangerous complications.
If it is not possible to visit a doctor, but you need to clear your tonsils, the procedure is carried out at home. This can be done no earlier than 2 hours after eating. You need to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth and throat with an antiseptic solution. A swab made of sterile cotton wool or a cotton swab treated with an antiseptic is applied to the base of the tonsil and pressed upward. There should be no pain during the procedure. If after 3 attempts the purulent plug does not come out, then you cannot continue.
Additional measures to prevent hematomas
To reduce the risk of blood balloons swelling on the oral mucosa, patients are advised to follow a few simple rules:
- avoid salty and spicy foods that irritate the mucous membranes;
- adjust the design of prostheses and orthopedic systems for the jaw apparatus;
- increase the amount of medium-temperature liquid and semi-liquid foods in the diet
We should also not forget about the need to regularly visit the dentist for the timely detection and elimination of diseases of the teeth and gums. This solution will help maintain oral health and avoid a number of serious pathologies with unpleasant symptoms.
How to choose?2
First, decide what you want to get from the gag. To prevent a person from uttering a word, the gag must be located inside the mouth and fix the lower jaw and tongue. Practitioners of BDSM on a regular basis will not find anything unusual in this, while untrained people are unlikely to have a desire to repeat such violence against the oral cavity. So it’s better to start with other, simpler types.
The snaffle is the best option for beginners. It is a hard stick upholstered in soft material. Not to be confused with the element of horse harness! However, in a sex shop they will give you advice and help you choose the best option for you. The snaffle leaves some freedom, and you can definitely distinguish between satisfied moans and cries for help.
Rings and spacers are another popular option that offer a number of benefits. Firstly, such a gag does not interfere with breathing; air passes through it freely. Secondly, it leaves a lot of opportunities for oral sex if the partner does not object, and the ring is of sufficient size so that your “device” can penetrate it. Even though the mouth is not blocked, you will not be able to speak with the ring. Try talking with your mouth open and see for yourself.
A ball gag is a more hardcore option. If you decide to start with this, make sure that there are holes in it to provide air access. The material from which the ball is made must be elastic and soft so as not to harm the teeth. To determine the optimal size, take a bite of an apple. No, don’t try to bite off as large a piece as possible, you need a regular bite, comfortable and not requiring you to stretch your jaws to the point of cracking.
However, you don’t have to buy a gag, but make do with improvised means. Even the items of clothing will match, from his tie to her thong. Just don't think about using tape. Firstly, it does not allow breathing through the mouth, which can lead to tragedy. Secondly, removing the gag after erotic games will be a real torment for you.
Whitish lumps in the tonsils with tonsillitis
Exacerbation of chronic or the onset of acute tonsillitis can be recognized by the following signs:
- bad breath, a sour taste in the mouth;
- there is an increase in body temperature;
- periodically painful sensations occur during eating and swallowing;
- pain appears in the throat, head, and cervical region.
Why do purulent plugs form and what do they consist of?
Photo: this is what white lumps on the tonsils look like.
Many people believe that something white in the throat and tonsils is just small pieces of food that have begun to rot and give off a rotten smell. Residues of food are indeed present in these formations, but basically calcified miniature balls consist of dead bacteria that entered the body along with air, and leukocytes, aimed at fighting them by the human immune system.
Microorganisms that cause inflammation in the tonsils produce hydrogen sulfide. They need this substance to protect against oxidative processes and subsequent destruction of DNA; it also emits the aroma of rotten eggs, due to which the patient’s mouth begins to smell bad.
The “culprits” for the formation of yellow and white lumps on the tonsils
There are several types of microorganisms that cause a whitish coating to form on the tonsils, which gradually turns into miniature pebbles. It can be:
- Streptococci. A bacterial infection causes symptoms such as frequent vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash.
- Epstein-Barr virus, which causes infectious mononucleosis, can also cause white, hard lumps in the mouth that have a foul odor. The presence of the disease is indicated by the following signs: high body temperature, enlarged tonsils and pain in the larynx. In advanced cases, clots of pus may be released.
- Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1), leading to the development of oral herpes. Most often, the disease can be recognized by the presence of sores on the lips. Simultaneously with the appearance of bubbles on the outer surface of the lip, a whitish or yellowish coating may form on the mucous membranes of the tonsils, which later transforms into stones.
