As I get older, many friends feel uncomfortable with their stomachs and make it a big deal to nourish them. At the same time, influenced by the traditional saying "three points for treatment and seven points for nourishment", many people believe that stomach diseases cannot be cured and can only be nurtured. When it really doesn't work, I always want to grab some medicine and solve the problem immediately.
In fact, this hasty treatment of stomach discomfort poses significant risks, and the lack of effectiveness is still a minor matter. Therefore, delaying treatment can be a source of regret.
Why do you say that? Because "stomach disease" is not as simple as everyone thinks. The following health headlines (WeChat: Baojiandaifu) will be analyzed and analyzed for everyone.
Old stomach disease is not a disease, it is a lot of diseases!
In everyone's eyes, stomach disease refers to stomach pain, bloating, nausea, acid regurgitation, and other discomfort. In fact, these are just "signs" of stomach disease. If you drink some Congee to "nourish", you will think your stomach disease is cured once you have no symptoms, which is really "treating the symptoms rather than the root causes".
In the eyes of doctors, there are various possibilities for stomach discomfort, ranging from common acute and chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers to gastric polyps and rare gastric cancer.
These stomach diseases are known as "stomach diseases", which can cause stomach pain, bloating, and other discomfort, and it is almost impossible to judge specific diseases through symptoms, such as:
Some people with gastritis may have significant stomach pain, although the inflammation is not severe.
"Some friends actually have gastric ulcers and even stomach cancer, but their stomachs are" strong ", with no or only mild stomach pain and bloating throughout.". Finally, they waited until they developed weight loss or darkened stools (small amounts of bleeding in the stomach) before going to the hospital for examination and finding the problem.
Chronic gastritis can also afford to drink some Congee to raise and procrastinate; "If it's a gastric ulcer or stomach cancer, you can't afford to procrastinate.".
Different stomach diseases, different causes
As explained above, from mild acute and chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers to severe gastric polyps and stomach cancer, these gastric diseases are all "stomach diseases" that can cause stomach pain, bloating, nausea, acid reflux, and other discomfort.
These "stomach diseases" are often caused by different reasons:
Abnormal gastric activity
When there is abnormal activity in the stomach, food can even flow back into the esophagus, unable to smoothly leave the stomach and enter the intestinal tract, resulting in sustained secretion of gastric acid, accelerating the destruction of the stomach, causing inflammation and ulcers. At the same time, bile can also flow back from the small intestine to the stomach, causing irritation and inflammation of the stomach.
helicobacter pylori infection
A strong stomach actually has an enemy - Helicobacter pylori. It can be considered a miracle in the destructive world, able to survive, invade, and slowly destroy in a stomach full of stomach acid. Most patients with gastric ulcers have Helicobacter pylori infection.
Long term stimulation
When a person lacks exercise or is anxious or depressed, the movement of the stomach slows down. If food is stimulated for a long time to produce gastric acid, abnormal repair of the gastric mucosa can occur, which can easily lead to gastric polyps, thickening of the gastric wall, causing stenosis, obstruction, and even gastric cancer.
Blindly nourish the stomach and use drugs, resulting in poor results and suffering
As you can see, different "stomach diseases" have different causes. Blind autonomy without knowing the specific reasons not only has a poor effect, but may also delay the illness:
Minor pathological changes and major diseases
For example, if some patients with gastric ulcers do not receive timely and standardized treatment, they can lead to perforation, bleeding, and even cancer.
I didn't need surgery, so I had to have surgery
"Some ulcers in the gastric antrum and pyloric tube, if not properly treated, can cause stenosis and obstruction of the pylorus (the junction of the stomach and intestine).". Many diseases that could have been cured by taking medicine have been dragged to the point where surgery is needed, which is really not worth it.
Late discovery, poor results
Early gastric cancer, some of which can be treated without surgery, requires only minimally invasive treatment under gastroscopy, with excellent results and a 5-year survival rate of over 90%. However, if you only nourish the stomach or use drugs to cope with it, gastric cancer will develop to the mid to late stage, and the surgery will be large, and the survival chance will also be greatly reduced.
Distinguished diagnosis and treatment of old gastric diseases can improve quickly
After understanding the cause and understanding that old stomach disease is not a disease, the health headlines will tell you how to deal with these old stomach diseases:
Good living habits
For example, regular diet, smoking and alcohol cessation, and proper exercise are very beneficial to the health of the gastrointestinal tract.
Bacterial sterilization
If there is Helicobacter pylori infection, it is often necessary to use antibacterial drugs to remove it. After the eradication of Helicobacter pylori by standardized treatment, the symptoms of gastric ulcer can be alleviated, and the recurrence rate can also be significantly reduced.
The cut of the cut
Those who should undergo surgery should do it early. "Gastric polyps and the like cause symptoms and require minor surgery under gastroscopy to remove them." Nourishing "is useless.". In case of timely detection of cancer, let alone.
Irregular medication and conditioning
When there are psychological factors such as insufficient gastric motility and poor performance, regular medication and psychotherapy can quickly eliminate symptoms.
Let's no longer blindly nourish our stomachs and work together to ensure their health!
