Li Jielin, Deputy Chief Physician, Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Friendship Hospital
When mentioning old stomach disease, everyone's first reaction is that middle-aged and elderly people have long-term stomach problems. However, the scope of modern old stomach problems has expanded and younger people. Many white-collar workers and executives in their 30s also have stomach problems. However, such patients always "fool" their stomachs with the idea that taking a little medicine will make them feel better. As everyone knows, there is a high possibility of canceration if the stomach disease persists. So, why does the old stomach disease become younger?
Reasons for rejuvenation of old stomach disease
Stomach problems in the past are inseparable from poverty, because long-term hunger, hunger, and malnutrition can all lead to stomach lesions. Modern life is rich, and the proportion of poverty is getting smaller and smaller, but the incidence of stomach problems in big cities is getting higher and higher. The reason is uneven hunger and fullness caused by irregular diet, as well as tobacco, alcohol, greasy, spicy, and overdrinking Caused by bad habits of overeating. Of course, work pressure and life pressure are also important factors.
Under the action of so many factors, the function of the stomach will be abnormal, the mucosa of the inner wall of the stomach will be seriously damaged, and gastric inflammatory lesions, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers are prone to occur. If you are unfortunately infected with Helicobacter pylori, the probability of lesions in the digestive system will increase again, and even get closer to cancerous lesions. You must know that Helicobacter pylori is one of the pathogenic factors of gastric cancer.
The relationship between stomach disease and cancer
Patients with stomach problems often experience abdominal distension, abdominal pain, hyperacidity in the stomach, acid reflux, belching, flatulence, etc. On the surface, this is a symptom of a stomach attack, but it is actually a manifestation of the gradual development of the disease. As we mentioned before, the early symptoms of gastric cancer are very similar to gastric disease and are easily overlooked, while early gastric cancer is the result of gradual development and deterioration of gastric disease, especially those with gastric ulcer and Helicobacter pylori infection, are at high risk group.
5 signs of gastric cancer:
- Stomach pain loses its regularity: usually patients with stomach disease, especially gastric ulcer, will experience stomach pain after eating or under certain conditions or within a fixed cycle. If the stomach disease becomes cancerous due to deterioration, the stomach pain will lose its regularity, and the occurrence will be frequent and the cycle will be shortened.
Difficult to relieve by taking medicine: usually patients with old stomach disease can relieve their symptoms after taking medicine, but the stomach disease in the cancerous stage has not been controlled by conventional drugs and cannot relieve pain and other abnormalities.
Dramatic changes in physique: The physical condition of ordinary stomach disease patients is still normal, but not as good as that of patients in the cancerous stage. The weight loss is obvious or even very rapid, and the body gradually becomes thinner and loses appetite.
Bleeding: Digestive system bleeding is more obvious in the stage of canceration, and patients frequently have blood in stool and hematemesis.
Fever and fatigue: Patients in the cancerous stage often have fever, sometimes with persistent low-grade fever, and ordinary antipyretic measures have little effect. At the same time, the whole body will experience fatigue, fatigue, and exhaustion.
3 things to protect the stomach and regulate stomach diseases
I believe that everyone already understands how harmful stomach problems are. In order to avoid stomach problems, or to better control and recuperate stomach problems, these three things must be done:
First things first: the principle of drinking water
For the protection of the stomach, the way of drinking water is very particular. We must maintain the amount of drinking water we need every day, and at the same time control the time of drinking water. Drinking water before each meal can moisturize the gastrointestinal system and increase some satiety. Of course, the amount of drinking should not be too much, and warm water should be the main one. You can also add beneficial bacteria powder, such as hydrangea powder, to the water, which can help repair gastric mucosal damage. You must not drink water during and after meals, because drinking water at this time will dilute gastric juice and have a serious impact on digestive function.
The second thing: regulate emotions
A good mood can lead to a good body, especially for patients with stomach problems, don't get angry easily, and don't be overly panicked or worried. These negative factors will lead to abnormal autonomic nerves, which in turn will affect the normal functioning of the stomach. Especially when eating, it is best to keep a calm mind, chew slowly, and eat in order, so as to ensure the smooth work of the digestive system.
The third thing: rest after meals
Some people are used to going for a walk after eating, this habit may not apply to everyone. In fact, the best state after eating is to rest. Lying flat or prone is not recommended. A better way is to sit and rest. You can also listen to soft and soothing music to let your body and mind be in a state of natural operation. In this way, the blood circulation and nervous system transmission in the body will be stable and smooth, the stomach can work in a good environment, and the body's metabolism and secretion can also proceed smoothly.
