Li Jielin, Deputy Chief Physician, Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Friendship Hospital
When it comes to old stomach problems, everyone's first reaction is that middle-aged and elderly people suffer from some kind of stomach problems for a long time, and the scope of modern old stomach diseases has expanded and become younger. Many white-collar workers and executives in their 30s also have stomach problems. However, such patients always "fuck" their stomachs with the idea that taking a little medicine can be good. As everyone knows, there is a high possibility of cancerous development of gastric disease that persists. So, why the old stomach will be younger?
Reasons for the rejuvenation of old stomach problems
Stomach problems in the past are inseparable from poverty, because long-term hunger, starvation, and malnutrition will lead to stomach lesions. Modern life is prosperous, and the proportion of poverty is less and less, but the incidence of stomach diseases in big cities is getting higher and higher. 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 lining of the stomach is seriously damaged, and it is prone to gastric inflammatory lesions, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers. 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
Gastric patients often experience abdominal distension, abdominal pain, hyperacidity in the stomach, acid regurgitation, belching, flatulence, etc. On the surface, this is a symptom of a gastric attack, but in fact it is also a manifestation of the gradual development of the disease. As we mentioned before, the early symptoms of gastric cancer are very similar to gastric diseases and are easily overlooked, while early gastric cancer is the result of the gradual development and deterioration of gastric diseases, especially those with gastric ulcer and Helicobacter pylori infection, which are all high-risk group.
5 signs of gastric cancer:
- Stomach pain loses its regularity: Usually patients with stomach problems, especially gastric ulcers, will experience stomach pain after eating or under specific conditions or within a fixed period. If the stomach disease worsens and becomes cancerous, the stomach pain will lose its regularity, and there will be frequent and shortened periods.
It is difficult to relieve by taking medicine: Usually, the symptoms of old stomach patients can be relieved after taking medicine, but the stomach disease in the cancerous stage is no longer controlled by conventional drugs, and pain and other abnormalities cannot be relieved.
Physical drastic changes: The physical condition of ordinary gastric patients is still normal, but it is not as good as that of patients with cancerous stage.
Bleeding: The bleeding of the digestive system in the cancerous stage is more obvious, and the patients often have blood in the stool and hematemesis.
Fever and fatigue: Patients in the cancerous stage often have fever, sometimes persistent low fever, and ordinary antipyretic measures have little effect. At the same time, the whole body will be weak, easy to fatigue, and lack of physical strength.
3 things to protect the stomach and regulate stomach problems
I believe that everyone already understands how harmful stomach problems are. In order to avoid stomach problems, or if you already have stomach problems and want to better control and regulate, these three things must be done in place:
The first thing: the principle of drinking water
In the protection of the stomach, the way of drinking water is very particular. We must maintain the amount of 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 used. 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 the gastric juice and cause a serious impact on the digestive function.
The second thing: regulating emotions
Good mood and good health, especially patients with stomach problems should not be easily angered, and should not be too panicked and worried. These negative factors will lead to abnormal autonomic nerves, which will affect the normal functioning of the stomach. Especially when eating, it is best to maintain a peaceful mind, chew slowly, and eat in sequence, so as to ensure that the digestive system works smoothly.
The third thing: rest after meals
Some people have a habit of going for a walk after eating, but this habit may not apply to everyone. In fact, the best state after eating is to rest. It is not recommended to lie on your back or on your stomach. A better way is to sit and rest. You can also listen to soft and soothing music, so that your body and mind are in a state of natural functioning. In this way, the blood circulation in the body and the transmission of the nervous system will be smooth and smooth, the stomach can work in a good environment, and the body's metabolism and secretion can also be carried out smoothly.
