What are the causes and manifestations of hyperacidity and hypoacidity?

Hyperacidity, also known as hyperacidity, is one of the common symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases. Moderate gastric acid can help digestion, but if there is too much gastric acid, it will harm the gastric and duodenal mucosa and cause diseases such as gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer.

The causes of hyperacidity are as follows: First, dysfunction of cerebral cortex. When life is irregular, mental stress, excessive fatigue, bad mood, heavy smoking, surgery, severe burns or bacterial infection, the cerebral cortex is dysfunctional, which can not control the nerves secreting gastric acid well and promote the increase of gastric acid secretion. The second is food stimulation. When eating too much, it will stimulate gastric acid secretion. Under normal circumstances, stomach acid helps us digest food, but if we eat too much, we may need to secrete more stomach acid, causing symptoms of hyperacidity. The third is the influence of other diseases. For example, Zhuo-Ai syndrome, also known as gastrinoma. Pancreas? Cell tumor will secrete gastrin, which will stimulate gastric acid to secrete B cells, leading to hyperacidity and hyperacidity.

Symptoms of hyperacidity:

Acid regurgitation: The acid content in the stomach is caused by reflux, which is often caused by excessive secretion of gastric acid. It is more common in functional dyspepsia, reflux esophagitis, gastric and duodenal ulcer and chronic gastritis. Heartburn: reflux of acid content in stomach stimulates esophageal mucosa to produce burning sensation behind sternum, which is more common in functional dyspepsia, reflux esophagitis, gastric and duodenal ulcer and chronic gastritis. Drinking milk or soybean milk during heartburn will aggravate the symptoms. Although milk and soybean milk can temporarily dilute gastric acid, protein containing calcium can stimulate gastric acid secretion, so it is not advisable to drink more. Heartburn: caused by excessive secretion of gastric acid or increased sensitivity of gastric mucosa to acid. This symptom is more common in functional dyspepsia, reflux esophagitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers and chronic gastritis. Insufficient gastric acid secretion is a chronic disease, that is, lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and insufficient gastric juice secretion. Too little gastric acid secretion will lead to the failure of digestion and absorption function of the stomach, which will seriously lead to some gastrointestinal diseases.

The main causes of hypochlorhydria are: First, cerebral cortex disorder. Just like the cause of excessive gastric acid secretion, cerebral cortex disorder can not control the nerve of gastric acid secretion well, resulting in insufficient gastric acid secretion. The second is caused by stomach trouble. It may be caused by pernicious anemia, tropical fatty dysentery, chronic gastritis and atrophic gastritis. For example, atrophic gastritis can lead to atrophy of parietal glands, resulting in insufficient hydrochloric acid secreted by cells, which in turn leads to too little gastric acid secretion.

Symptoms of hypochlorhydria: on the one hand, abnormal digestive function. Patients with hypochlorhydria are usually accompanied by symptoms such as abnormal digestive function, constipation or diarrhea, abdominal distension, lack of iron, zinc and B vitamins, resulting in symptoms and manifestations such as iron deficiency anemia. In addition, hypochlorhydria will lead to indigestion and absorption of food in the human body, and it is easy to ferment in the gastrointestinal tract to produce toxins, which will easily lead to acne and more serious intestinal inflammation.
