First, digestive function is not good?
Common tongue images of patients with gastric diseases are:
Thin white fur-the disease begins at the beginning, the disease is mild and shallow, and the stomach gas is not hurt;
The tongue coating turns from thin to thick, the color turns from white to a little yellow, the tip of the tongue turns from pale red to red, and there are teeth marks on the tongue-the condition is aggravated, suggesting indigestion, gastrointestinal stagnation, and so on;
The tongue coating turns from white to yellow, and the tip of the tongue is red-there is a heat image;
The tongue coating turns from yellow to brown, or from brown to black, and it is dry and less fluid, and the tip of the tongue turns dark red and hot, often accompanied by dry stool;
The tongue coating is thick and greasy, and there is a layer of white mucus on the tongue surface-phlegm dampness;
The tongue coating is yellow, thick and greasy, and the tongue edge is red and phlegm-hot;
The tip of the tongue is crimson, even purple-blood in the sputum;
The tongue is red without coating, and the surface of the tongue is smooth as a mirror-stomach yin deficiency;
The tongue coating is peeled off, and the tongue quality is light-deficiency of both qi and yin.
According to the above different tongue images, combined with other diagnostic methods such as smell, questioning and pulse-taking, TCM can make comprehensive analysis and treat according to syndrome differentiation.
Abnormal tongue picture that can be nursed back to health by itself
Thick tongue coating and heavy breath If a person has thick tongue coating and heavy breath all the year round, it generally means that there is something wrong with the stomach. If there are no other uncomfortable feelings at present, you can start with diet and daily life. Keep a regular life, feel comfortable and happy, eat digestible food, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less greasy and fried food, and it is best not to drink or smoke. After a period of nursed back to health, abnormal tongue coating and breath are expected to heal themselves.
The tongue coating is black and sticky. If you only see this abnormal tongue coating, the tip of the tongue is normal and reddish, and there is no other obvious discomfort, sometimes it belongs to the phenomenon of "staining". The patient may have eaten some colored food or taken some medicine. For example, taking "Julie Dole" will lead to black fur and black stool; When taking antibiotics, sometimes there will be black moss. The above situation is not morbid, so don't be nervous. However, patients with severe stomach diseases should also be vigilant when observing black moss. If the tip of the tongue is crimson or even blue, it means that the condition is getting worse and you should go to the hospital in time.
Some people have irregular "map-like" changes in tongue coating, some places are thin and some places are smooth without coating. This is called "map tongue". If people with this tongue picture don't feel any discomfort, it's mostly physiological changes and don't need treatment. If you have stomach trouble or other chronic diseases for a long time, you must have never seen such a tongue picture before. If you have a "map tongue", it is mostly a manifestation of yin deficiency. While treating the primary disease, you can drink American ginseng tea (9 grams per day, brewed with boiling water and frequently drunk) to promote self-healing.
People with cracks also have many "cracks" on their tongues, and most of them have no tongue coating, which is called "cracked tongue". If there is no discomfort, it is also physiological and does not need treatment. For example, after a serious illness, there is a cleft tongue, red tongue without coating, and discomfort, which also belongs to yin deficiency and needs medical treatment.
Some people with teeth marks on the tongue are fat, and the tongue body is also fat. There are teeth marks on the tongue and the tongue coating is thin and white. If there is no obvious discomfort, it is too fat. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that "fat people are full of phlegm and dampness", and the function of spleen and stomach transport and transformation of fat people is relatively insufficient, and the digestion and absorption of food are prone to obstacles. These people should eat less greasy and indigestible food, eat more vegetables and fruits and light food, and exercise properly. If the tongue coating is thick and greasy, there are teeth marks on the edge of the tongue, you don't want to eat, abdominal distension is full, and loose stool is thin, which belongs to excessive phlegm and dampness. You should cooperate with drug treatment and eat light and digestible food at the same time.
Some people with red tongue, thick coating and constipation don't understand the stool for a few days. Bad breath, thick coating, red tongue edge and yellow urine belong to stomach fire. The stomach is full of fiery heat, and the turbid gas rushes up, fumigating the mouth and tongue, so bad breath, yellow tongue coating, heat injury to body fluid and intestinal dryness appear, so dry stool appears. At this time, you can take rhubarb, coptis root, scutellaria root, gardenia and other traditional Chinese medicines for clearing away heat and purging fire. In diet, avoid alcohol and spicy food, such as pepper and mutton, eat more vegetables, fruits and light food, and drink more water.
Tongue image of patients with atrophic gastritis
The following three patients diagnosed as "atrophic gastritis of gastric antrum" by gastroscope have completely different tongue pictures, symptoms and TCM diagnosis. Of course, the treatment principles and medication are also different, which is the characteristic of TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation.
First, the tongue picture: the tongue coating is thin and white, the tongue is purple, and there are petechiae on the tip of the tongue.
Symptoms: repeated dull pain in the upper abdomen, aversion to heat and cold, and spitting water.
Diagnosis: spleen and stomach deficiency and cold
Second, the tongue picture: the tongue coating is yellow and thick, the base of the tongue is gray and black, and the tip of the tongue is dark red.
Symptoms: upper abdominal pain, local pain, and the pain is aggravated after eating.
Diagnosis: phlegm-heat with blood stasis in stomach.
Third, the tongue picture: the tongue coating is thin, white and yellow, the tongue coating is peeled off in the middle and front part of the tongue, and the tongue is red and less fluid.
Symptoms: dull pain in the upper abdomen, loss of appetite and dry mouth.
Diagnosis: Deficiency of stomach yin
Second, the tongue coating is thick and greasy, white, and the stomach acid is nausea.
Long-term thick and white tongue coating, recent symptoms of pantothenic acid, nausea and loss of appetite, what Chinese patent medicine can relieve the symptoms? The gastroscope has been done. This is just superficial gastritis. But I have a family history of heart disease, bradycardia, poor blood circulation, frequent chest tightness and normal blood pressure. The doctor's advice is to exercise as gently as possible. There used to be a Chinese doctor who said that it was a state of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. Can I take Xiangsha Yangwei Pill for aftercare? I hope to get an answer.
It's ok for you to take Xiangsha Yangwei Pill for the time being, but if you really have yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, don't take it often. It will be better for you to drink soup medicine for this problem.
Structure of stomach
The stomach is the widest part of the human digestive tract, located in the left upper abdomen, like an elastic pocket, with the upper end connected to the esophagus and the lower end connected to the duodenum. The entrance of esophagus is called cardia, and the exit of duodenum is called pylorus. The muscle with circular thickening at the pylorus is called pyloric sphincter. The structure of the stomach is divided into three parts: the fundus, the body and the antrum. The stomach has two walls, front and back, and has two bends. The shorter upper side is the small bend of the stomach, and the longer lower side is the big bend of the stomach. Both the small curvature of the stomach and the pylorus are prone to ulcers. The duodenum is next to the pylorus, and its length is basically the same as the width of the twelve fingers, so it is called duodenum.
Gastric wall composition
The stomach wall is divided into four layers, which are mucus layer, submucosa layer, muscle layer and serosa layer from the inside out.
(1) Mucosal layer: the innermost layer of the stomach wall, consisting of superficial epithelium, mucosa, muscle and intermuscular tissue, with a thickness of about 0.5~ 0.7 mm.. Mucosal muscle consists of two bundles of smooth muscle fibers. Below the superficial epithelium are glands and lamina propria, which contain connective tissue matrix, plasma cells, lymphocytes, a small number of eosinophils, mast cells, nerves and blood vessels. Gastroscopy showed that the gastric mucosa was orange-red, yellow and flashing. On an empty stomach, the mucosa will form many folds. When the stomach is full of food, wrinkles flatten or disappear completely. The gastric mucosa is divided into several small pieces by many vertical and horizontal grooves, which is called gastric area. There are many small pits in each area, called gastric pits, and the gastric glands open at the bottom of the gastric pits. There are about 3 million gastric pits in the stomach, and there are 3-5 gastric glands with the same opening at the bottom of a gastric pit.
Clinically, the changes of gastric mucosal folds often indicate the occurrence of lesions. Gastric glands are formed by the deep depression of gastric mucosa epithelium into connective tissue. There are three kinds of glands that secrete gastric juice, namely cardia gland, fundus gland and pyloric gland. The cardiac gland is located in the gastric mucosa at the junction of esophagus and stomach, and the gland is composed of secretory cells containing mucus. Gastric fundus gland is located in the mucosa of gastric fundus and stomach body, and the cells of gland mainly include main cells, parietal cells and cervical mucus cells. The pyloric gland is located in the mucosa of gastric antrum, almost all of which are mucus cells, and the pyloric gland only secretes alkaline mucus.
The gastric curvature and pyloric mucosa are smooth and the nerves are abundant. It is the only way for acidic chyme, which is vulnerable to mechanical damage and digestive enzymes in gastric acid, so it is prone to ulcer.
(2) Submucous layer: It is composed of loose connective tissue and elastic fibers, which plays a buffering role. When the stomach dilates or peristalsis, the mucosa can stretch or shift with this activity. This layer contains large blood vessels, nerve plexus and lymphatic vessels, which can spread through submucosa when gastritis or mucosal cancer occurs.
(3) Muscular layer: The muscular layer of the stomach wall is developed, consisting of three layers of smooth muscle, and the outer layer is longitudinal muscle, which is well-developed in size and curvature; The middle layer is annular muscle, which becomes very thick at cardia and pylorus, forming cardia and pyloric sphincter; The inner layer is oblique muscle, which spreads from the left side of the cardia along the bottom of the stomach to the body of the stomach, and gradually disperses and thins or even disappears below. There is a muscle plexus between the annular muscle and the longitudinal muscle. Various physiological movements of the stomach are mainly completed by the muscle layer.
(4) Serous layer: The serous layer of the stomach wall is the outer membrane of the stomach, which is actually the part where the peritoneum covers the stomach surface. Its coverage is mainly in the front and back surfaces of the stomach, and the lesser omentum and the greater omentum are formed in the lesser curvature and the greater curvature of the stomach respectively.
Composition of gastric juice
Gastric juice is a mixed solution secreted by various cells in the gastric gland, including hydrochloric acid (i.e. gastric acid), sodium chloride and potassium chloride, mucus, digestive enzymes, endogenous factors, blood group substances and alkaline solutions derived from non-wall cells, and its water content is about 9 1%~97%.
Hydrochloric acid in gastric juice can kill bacteria that enter the stomach with food. After hydrochloric acid enters the small intestine, it can stimulate the secretion of intestinal juice, pancreatic juice and bile. Hydrochloric acid can also provide an acidic environment for pepsin to function, so that pepsinogen can be converted into pepsin, and protein in food can be preliminarily digested. When hydrochloric acid is insufficient, the effect of pepsin is affected.
The most important digestive enzyme is protease, which can hydrolyze protein into international, peptone and other short peptide chains for easy absorption.
Endogenous factors in gastric juice can combine with vitamin B 1 in diet to form a complex, which is absorbed at the end of ileum.
Mucus in gastric juice can protect gastric mucosa from mechanical damage.
gastrosis
The so-called stomach disease is actually a general term for many diseases. They have similar symptoms, such as epigastric discomfort, pain, fullness after meals, belching, acid reflux, and even nausea and vomiting. Clinical common stomach diseases include acute gastritis, chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, gastroduodenal compound ulcer, gastric polyp, gastrolith, benign and malignant tumors of the stomach, gastric mucosal prolapse, acute gastric dilatation, pyloric obstruction and so on.
In addition, some diseases of neighboring organs can also cause "stomach diseases", such as cholecystitis, gallstones, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and so on.
Generally speaking, the stomach disease referred to in clinic is the general term for diseases that occur in the stomach and are manifested in the stomach. Of course, it also includes duodenal diseases, such as duodenal ulcer.
General differences between stomach diseases
1. The main features of chronic superficial gastritis are abdominal distension, burping, heartburn and acid reflux. And epigastric pain is generally postprandial pain. If you catch a cold or accidentally eat cold, hard and spicy food, your illness will worsen or recur.
2. The main symptoms of chronic atrophic gastritis are flatulence in the upper abdomen, stomachache, unwillingness to eat, emaciation, listlessness and anemia. The key to treatment is to control the disease and prevent it from developing into gastric cancer.
3. The main feature of gastric ulcer is rhythmic and repeated pain in the upper abdomen, often accompanied by fever, acid reflux, burning sensation, and even nausea, vomiting, hematemesis and bloody stool. Generally, it is postprandial pain (commonly known as "fullness pain"), and the pain can last for 1 or 2 hours, and this symptom can last for several days or even longer.
4. The main features of duodenal ulcer are epigastric pain and acid regurgitation. Generally, it is empty abdominal pain or hunger pain, and it often hurts at night. Poor sleep will lead to loss of appetite and weight. The key to treatment is to reduce nocturnal pain and prevent recurrence.
Ten Common Symptoms of Stomach Diseases
Stomach pain: Sometimes it hurts before meals, sometimes after meals, and some people have stomachaches in the middle of the night. The feeling of stomachache may not be sharp pain, but dull pain, tenderness or stuffy pain. The part of stomach pain is between the heart and abdomen.
Stomach bloating: I feel bloated, the food is not digested, or I feel flatulence, my appetite is blocked, and the food can't go down.
Acid regurgitation: hyperacidity, frequent acid regurgitation, and the feeling that gastric acid rises or fills up from the stomach.
Heartburn: congestion of gastric mucosa and hyperacidity can cause heartburn, mainly because there is a feeling of heartburn and fever in the stomach.
Nausea and vomiting: Patients with chronic gastritis often have symptoms such as nausea, especially chronic atrophic gastritis, and nausea and vomiting are more prominent.
Stomach cold: Many patients with stomach diseases are afraid to eat raw and cold food, or when the weather gets cold and the temperature drops, they will have stomachache and diarrhea.
Loss of appetite: no appetite, can't eat, or see food, want to eat but dare not eat.
Slouching, gas color difference, poor sleep: patients with stomach diseases often look ill, have no energy during the day, have poor sleep at night, reduce work efficiency, lose confidence in life and lose interest in many things.
Weight loss: Some patients with stomach diseases feel that their appetite is ok and they can eat, but people lose weight day by day. This is mainly due to gastropathy and intestinal malabsorption caused by the decline of gastric digestive function. Although they eat, they don't fully absorb it.
Bad breath and blackened tongue coating: Patients with stomach diseases often have symptoms such as bad breath, bitter taste and blackened tongue coating, accompanied by stomach pain and abdominal distension.
Symptoms of postprandial discomfort
I feel hungry soon after eating regularly, and at the same time I feel dull pain in my upper abdomen and vomit sour water, which is probably early gastritis or ulcer.
Abdominal distension is aggravated after recumbent, and reduced when recumbent. People who are often short of breath, sometimes constipation or diarrhea, and are thin are likely to suffer from gastroptosis.
(3) After eating greasy food, if you feel pain in your right upper abdomen and radiate to your shoulders, it is probably cholecystitis or gallstones.
(4) Usually, the appetite is good, but the weight is obviously reduced, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, fear of heat, sweating, irritability, anxiety and slightly protruding eyeballs. Beware of hyperthyroidism.
(5) Usually, loss of appetite, thin stool, increased frequency, diarrhea after eating some greasy food, which is caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, which may be gastrointestinal diseases.
(6) The appetite is normal, but there is a feeling of bowel movement after meals, that is, defecation in the toilet, sometimes manifested as defecation in one meal. Such people may suffer from gastrointestinal dysfunction, intestinal allergy or chronic enteritis.
(7) Vomiting while eating is common in reflux esophagitis; Vomiting shortly after eating is a symptom of gastric and duodenal lesions; People who vomit a lot of fermented food overnight after eating for several hours to 12 hours are more common in chronic gastrointestinal obstructive diseases.
(8) Abdominal fullness, loss of appetite and progressive emaciation caused by middle-aged and elderly people without other reasons may be the early symptoms of gastric cancer. Have a strong appetite and even be extremely active. The more you eat, the more you want to eat After eating, my mouth is dry and I drink more water, but I lose weight and lose weight. This is a unique symptom of diabetes.
I have a good appetite, but I have difficulty swallowing. I can only drink water and eat liquid food. Sometimes I have difficulty swallowing water, and I gradually get thinner. This may be esophageal cancer.
Causes of frequent pantothenic acid in the stomach
Pantothenic acid in stomach is a common symptom of digestive tract, not all of which are stomach diseases. When hyperacidity occurs, acidic secretions will stimulate gastric mucosa, cause pantothenic acid and make people feel heartburn. There are many reasons for hyperacidity and pantothenic acid. There are two main reasons:
(1) Physiological pantothenic acid. When mental stress, excessive fatigue and bad mood occur, the cerebral cortex is dysfunctional, which can not control the nerves secreting gastric acid well and promote the increase of gastric acid secretion; Improper diet, such as too sweet, too salty, too spicy, too sour, too cold and too hot, can stimulate the increase of gastric acid secretion, while some coarse grains, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, contain a lot of starch, sugar and acid. It will stimulate the stomach to produce a lot of gastric acid. Moreover, undigested food and residual sugar will ferment in the gastrointestinal tract and induce pantothenic acid. In addition, some drugs, such as aspirin, reserpine and phenylbutazone, can also stimulate the increase of gastric acid secretion.
(2) Pathological pantothenic acid. Chronic gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer, etc. , can promote the increase of gastric acid, pantothenic acid often appears.
Physiological pantothenic acid does not need special treatment, as long as the inducing factors are eliminated. In addition to finding the cause of pathological pantothenic acid, we can take antacid drugs, such as calcium carbonate and metoclopramide, and traditional Chinese medicines, such as Wu Bei powder and L-gin.
The cause of heartburn
There is a valve at the end of human esophagus called esophageal sphincter. Under normal circumstances, food is closed after entering the stomach. When the valve is weak and cannot be closed normally, it will lead to gastric acid reflux, causing heartburn in the esophagus, which is also commonly known as heartburn. There are many reasons for heartburn.
(1) Many smokers suffer from chronic heartburn because the stimulation of nicotine weakens the valve.
(2) Fat, chocolate, mint and alcohol will make the valve unable to close.
(3) Hormones secreted by pregnant women can relax smooth muscles, including this valve, so pregnant women often feel heartburn.
In order to reduce or prevent heartburn, we should pay attention to:
(1) Avoid wearing tight clothes.
(2) Try to avoid bending over.
(3) The bedside can be raised at night to prevent acid reflux.
(4) The drug can be metoclopramide or antacid.
Middle-aged and elderly people are prone to spleen and stomach weakness.
Some middle-aged and elderly people often have symptoms such as anorexia, fullness, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea or dark knot, which are light or heavy and irregular. However, through barium meal fluoroscopy, gastroscopy and other modern medical techniques, no organic lesions were found, which were caused by spleen and stomach weakness as mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine.
When people reach middle age, all organs of the body are gradually aging and their physiological functions are declining, and the digestive system is no exception. Such as loose teeth, falling off, and decreased taste; Intestinal smooth muscle begins to contract, elasticity decreases, peristalsis slows down, food moves (digests) slowly in the gastrointestinal tract, and it is easy to stay; At the same time, the surface mucosa in the gastrointestinal tract gradually becomes thinner, the digestive glands gradually shrink, the secretion of digestive juice decreases, and the ability to decompose food decreases. Due to these physiological changes, the spleen and stomach of middle-aged and elderly people gradually weaken and their digestive function decreases, thus causing the above discomfort. In addition, some middle-aged and elderly people are too tired when they are young, or do not pay attention to conditioning in their diet, which will damage the spleen and stomach for a long time and aggravate the weakness of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people are prone to spleen and stomach weakness.
Effect of smoking on gastric diseases
Smoking will aggravate the condition of gastritis and ulcer, which is not conducive to the healing of gastritis and ulcer.
Smoking has three major effects on stomach diseases:
(1) increased the incidence of gastric diseases. According to research, the incidence of canker in smokers is 2 ~ 4 times that of non-smokers.
(2) Reduce the cure rate of gastropathy. It has been compared that patients with chronic gastritis or ulcer are treated with the same drugs, and the cure rate of non-smoking group is 90%, while that of smoking group is only 63%.
(3) It is easy to cause recurrence. One year after drug withdrawal, the recurrence rate of the two groups was 53% in the non-smoking group and 84% in the smoking group.
Nicotine is the chief culprit of smoking leading to and aggravating stomach diseases. It can act on vagus nerve system, destroy normal gastrointestinal activities, relax pyloric sphincter, contract gallbladder, and make alkaline bile flow back to stomach easily, thus destroying gastric mucosa. But also can promote gastric acid secretion, inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing gastric mucosal mucus. These will damage the gastric mucosa and lead to stomach problems.
Playing mahjong is easy to induce ulcers.
Mahjong is originally a tool for entertainment. However, because "office workers" play mahjong, they usually take up a lot of rest time at night or on weekends, which often leads to insufficient sleep for participants and affects the life and eating rules of mahjong players. On the other hand, when playing mahjong, you are often in a state of mental tension, because the change of life rhythm and mental tension will induce ulcer disease over time. Playing mahjong can induce ulcer disease for the following reasons:
(1) Hunger and satiety affect the renewal of mucosal tissue and the repair after injury. Some people get hungry when they play mahjong, sometimes they are too hungry, and sometimes they gobble up dates, which also contributes to the induction of peptic ulcer. You know, food can neutralize stomach acid, and an abnormal diet reduces the body's ability to buffer stomach acid. In addition, the diet is irregular and wolfed down, and food rushes into the stomach without chewing, which is easy to damage the gastric mucosa. After a long time, it is inevitable to induce ulcer disease.
(2) Some people play mahjong day and night and are often overjoyed to win or lose. The change of life rhythm and mental stress can promote gastric acid secretion, increase the release of gastrointestinal peptides, increase the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, and induce ulcer disease. Causing functional contracture of gastric artery and ischemia and hypoxia of gastric mucosa; Hyperactivity can promote the secretion of adrenocortical hormone, gastrointestinal peptide and gastric acid.
Eight ways to eat harmful to stomach health
1, eating too fast. Swallowing dates, insufficient chewing of food, insufficient secretion of digestive juice, it is difficult to fully digest food, and over time, it is easy to cause stomach problems.
2. Eat too much. Overeating not only makes the digestive ability of the stomach unbearable, leading to indigestion, but also sometimes leads to serious diseases such as acute gastric dilatation and gastric perforation.
3. Eat (play) while watching. Some people like to eat and drink while reading newspapers, or eat while playing. In this way, because a large amount of blood is supplied to the brain when reading or playing, the blood digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract is relatively reduced, which affects digestion and absorption and easily causes chronic stomach diseases for a long time.
4, often eat snacks. Eating snacks often will destroy the normal law of digestive enzyme secretion in the stomach, so that the stomach often "fights unprepared" and can not get normal and reasonable rest, which is easy to "break down from overwork".
5. Eat while squatting. In some rural areas of our country, especially in the northern rural areas, many people have the habit of squatting to eat. This way of eating makes the blood vessels in the abdominal digestive tract squeezed, which is not conducive to blood supply. When eating, just digesting requires a lot of blood. The survey shows that the high incidence of stomach diseases in these areas is related to this bad eating posture.
6. Eat more cold food. Some people prefer cold food, especially drinking cold drinks while eating in summer. Is this harmless to the stomach? Eating more cold food will lower the temperature of the stomach and reduce its disease resistance. Generally, the content of pathogenic microorganisms in cold food is often more, so eating more cold food can easily lead to stomach problems.
7. Excessive alcohol and tobacco. Smoking will increase the incidence of ulcers and gastric cancer. Excessive drinking will damage the gastric mucosa, causing gastric bleeding and gastric perforation. Regular heavy drinking will affect the secretion of gastric juice, reduce the activity of gastric acid, and reduce people's appetite.
8. This food is too spicy. Eating spicy food often will stimulate gastric mucosal congestion, which will lead to chronic gastritis over time.
10 all kinds of people who are prone to stomach diseases
1, people who socialize a lot and drink a lot.
Drink in moderation and enjoy yourself. If you are drunk, your stomach will be hurt first. Drinking alcohol in patients with gastric diseases can also directly lead to gastric bleeding.
2. People who are particularly addicted to cigarettes
The harm of smoking to the stomach lies in that harmful substances in cigarettes, such as nicotine, directly damage the gastric glands, make the normal function of the gastric glands disorder, affect the secretion of gastric acid, and carcinogens in cigarettes are important causes of gastric cancer.
3. People who seldom move.
Life lies in exercise. People who lack exercise often have insufficient blood supply, slow digestion of food, early decline of gastrointestinal function and aggravation of stomach diseases.
4. Introverts
Introverted, depressed, depressed, unable to stretch qi and blood, it will stagnate for a long time and become a stomach disease.
5. Overworked and malnourished people.
Fatigue, fatigue and lack of adequate nutrition often make the stomach hungry, which is an important reason for the high incidence of gastric diseases in many remote and poor mountainous areas.
6, grumpy, easily angry, irritable person
Grumpy and introverted are two extremes. Anger and anger can easily hurt the liver and stomach, leading to stomach problems.
7. People who eat irregularly are often hungry and don't eat breakfast.
A normal diet is the premise of maintaining normal stomach function. Many people can't eat three meals on time because of bad habits or because of work, study and occupation, which leads to digestive disorders and stomach problems.
8. People who like Chili peppers
Pepper is an irritating food, which does great harm to gastric mucosa. This is the reason for the high incidence of stomach diseases in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi and other places in southern China.
9. People who often stay up late
Some people work overtime, some people play mahjong, some people soak in bars, internet cafes and tea bars, and students review for preparation, lack of sleep and are exhausted. In this part of the population, there are more and more patients with stomach diseases.
10, someone at home has stomach trouble.
Gastropathy is common in families, but it is not a genetic factor. The chief culprit is the infection of Helicobacter pylori.
The infectivity of stomach diseases
In the past, people blamed the causes of stomach diseases on eating irritating food, excessive gastric acid secretion, local vascular diseases, autonomic nervous dysfunction and so on. In recent years, scientific research has found and confirmed that Helicobacter pylori can cause ulcers and gastritis. The detection rate of helicobacter pylori in gastric mucosa of patients with gastric diseases is as high as 59% ~ 77%.
Experiments show that this pathogen is likely to spread from person to person, and there are a lot of Helicobacter pylori in patients' teeth, which can be transmitted to others through saliva or droplets, especially family members who eat together. Therefore, many common family members suffer from "stomach trouble". People can also be infected through the faecal route. In addition, it can also be transmitted through endoscopes with incomplete disinfection, especially gastroscopes.
Therefore, stomach diseases should be included in the category of digestive tract infectious diseases, and the traditional concept that "stomach diseases are not contagious" should be changed.
Modern people have an irritable stomach.
In modern busy life, many people have gastrointestinal problems, sometimes abdominal distension, nausea, sometimes abdominal cramps, or recurrent symptoms of diarrhea and constipation, but they can't find the reason when they go to the hospital, which is probably the manifestation of irritable bowel syndrome. In addition, modern people often feel heavy pressure, which is accompanied by depression, boredom, moping all day and mental stress, leading to long-term out-of-control defecation. This matter is beyond words. If the patient's own digestive and gastrointestinal system functions are not good, it is more likely to cause "irritable bowel syndrome".
Irritability, also known as colonic spasm, is the most common digestive system disorder, and at least about 10%~ 15% of adults suffer from it. It is difficult to treat because there is no clear conclusion about the cause of irritable bowel disease, but according to medical research, the most likely reason is:
(1) Food allergy. Including allergies to milk, fiber foods, food additives, etc.
(2) Abnormal intestinal peristalsis. When mental stress is greater, the peristalsis of the large intestine will be aggravated.
(3) Sequela caused by intestinal infection. This is due to the destruction of intestinal mucosa and diarrhea.
Irritability is a typical functional gastrointestinal disease, which belongs to chronic intestinal diseases. Patients have different symptoms, but the main clinical symptoms are:
8226; Pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety or depression.
8226; Irregular defecation habits, diarrhea or constipation, or the two interact for months.
8226; Frequent abdominal cramps, abdominal pain most often occurs in the lower left of the navel, which can relieve the pain after defecation, but it still has a sense of convenience.
(4) Abdominal distension, nausea and indigestion mostly occur after meals.
The symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome will be aggravated with the increase of life or work pressure. Therefore, in addition to medication, you can seek psychotherapy and try to relax. Change your diet, eat more, make the digestion process easier, reduce the intake of fatty foods, and avoid eating eggs, dairy products, spicy foods, coffee and other foods. In this case, it may speed up the recovery.
