Can low oestrogen cause a burning tongue?

p>Due to the hormonal changes (particularly the increase in progesterone) that occur during the menstrual cycle, some women experience oral changes that can include bright red swollen gums, swollen salivary glands, development of canker sores, or bleeding gums. This hormone decrease can reduce saliva production, cause a metallic taste in the mouth, and trigger a burning sensation in the mouth.
