What is peptic ulcer? What are the inducing factors and daily precautions?

"Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of subtle biochemistry in Shui Gu", and the incisive language appropriately describes the physiological function of the upper digestive tract and its importance to human health. Peptic ulcer refers to gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. Under normal circumstances, the lining of stomach and duodenum has a layer of mucosa, which plays a barrier role in protecting organs. The food that people eat is digested and absorbed through the peristalsis of the stomach and the digestion of gastric juice, which supplies the needs of human life activities. Gastric acid is the main component of gastric towel and plays an important role in human digestion. However, extremes meet, and excessive gastric acid secretion will destroy the normal gastric mucosal barrier of human body, and also make pepsin, another component of gastric juice, too active. Together, the two will erode the gastric and duodenal mucosa, and together with other injury factors, the gastric and duodenal mucosa will digest itself and form peptic ulcer. It is not difficult to see that peptic ulcer is "digested" by its own gastric juice, and gastric acid has become the chief culprit of this disaster. The reason for the great change of gastric acid function is that people don't care too much about the stomach in their lives, except for their abnormal function. As we all know, once the ulcer is formed, it not only bears all kinds of pains, but also is very difficult and easy to recur, so it really needs great patience to treat it.

It is necessary for you to correctly understand the following terms gastric juice: the digestive juice secreted by gastric mucosa is acidic gastric acid, which plays an important role in the process of food digestion. Pepsin: a component of digestive protein food in gastric juice. Helicobacter pylori: a bacterial ulcer related to peptic gastritis, parasitic in the stomach of ulcer patients, mainly manifested as epigastric pain. Generally, it has the following three characteristics: chronic, periodic and rhythmic. There are also obvious seasonality, such as around the Spring Festival or in hot summer; There are also regular pains in the day, such as in the early morning or midnight on an empty stomach, or half an hour after a meal or 1-2 hours later, or even in the middle of the night, the patient will wake up with pain. Some patients have vague and irregular pain, and most of them are accompanied by dyspeptic symptoms such as abdominal distension, anorexia and belching. Especially in elderly patients with peptic ulcer, the symptoms often lack typical manifestations, sometimes mainly manifested as loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, nausea, vomiting and so on. And because they are located near the cardia and stomach, they are easily confused with esophageal diseases and angina pectoris.

Once you get peptic ulcer, you should treat it as soon as possible and persevere. Otherwise, there will be complications after repeated times, such as hematemesis, hematochezia and gastric perforation. , it will happen easily, and 2%-6% of ulcer diseases will become cancerous. Then the treatment of ulcer disease, in addition to proper medication, daily conditioning and diet conditioning are also very important.

Ulcer is accompanied by excessive gastric acid secretion-gastric mucosal digestion-ulcer disease, malignant dietary stimulation-ulcer disease, mental stimulation-ulcer disease, drug stimulation-which are easy to induce ulcer disease. Eating habits and eating habits are the most closely related factors to the occurrence and treatment effect of ulcer. As mentioned above, ulcer disease is caused by excessive secretion of gastric acid, which leads to the self-digestion of gastric mucosa. Some of us usually eat irregularly and overeat; Or eat too fast and can't chew fully; Or like to eat food that is too hot or too cold, which will cause bad stimulation to gastric mucosa; Or used to drinking coffee, strong tea, spirits and other foods that are too irritating, these bad habits are easy to cause traumatic stimulation to the gastric mucosa and excessive gastric acid secretion, which leads to gastric ulcer. This seems to be a simple question. In fact, eating habits are not only related to the occurrence and prognosis of stomach diseases, but also to the occurrence of many diseases. Many people can't keep good habits in order to satisfy the temporary pleasure, which will eventually lead to bad consequences. In fact, a little attention in life can save a lot of trouble.

The more refined sugar, the greater the chance of getting peptic ulcer. We may all have had similar experiences at ordinary times. Eating too much sugar food at one time will not only produce too much stomach acid or feel a burning sensation in the stomach. The reason for this phenomenon may be that sugar can also stimulate gastric acid secretion.

Other reasons Mental factors Clinically, the occurrence and recurrence of peptic ulcer caused by persistent and intense mental stimulation such as anxiety, sadness, resentment and tension are more common. Because these bad mentality will cause a series of endocrine, immune function and neurophysiological changes in the body, lead to excessive gastric acid secretion, cause self-digestion of the stomach and duodenal wall and form ulcers.

Rheumatism, arthritis and other drug-induced diseases, taking too many antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as aspirin, indomethacin will reduce the acid resistance of gastric mucosa and lead to ulcers. Other drugs such as adrenocortical hormone and reserpine have ulcer effect. If you need to take these drugs for a long time because of your illness, and you don't take the gastric mucosal protective agent correctly, then you are likely to suffer from gastric ulcer or make the stable ulcer recur again.

If you don't have canker, then as long as you follow the life advice given to you here, canker will be far away from you, and I'm afraid there are few opportunities to come to your trouble; If you are already a patient with peptic ulcer, adopting these suggestions is of great benefit to your recovery, provided that you take the medicine regularly and correctly.

Emotional stability, work and rest combined with emotional fluctuations, irregular life is harmful to the body. As mentioned above, excessive and persistent mental stimulation is one of the factors that lead to ulcer, and it can also make the stable ulcer recur. Therefore, you should remove all the tense factors in your life and try to create some relaxed atmosphere in your living environment to relax your spirit, which is conducive to the recovery of ulcer disease. Patients with ulcer disease are not suitable for overwork. People who work too fast, have disordered work arrangements, are overworked and highly nervous can also cause stomach bleeding, such as stomach bleeding of students on the eve of college entrance examination.

Avoiding long-term use of irritating drugs is a point that patients with ulcer disease must pay attention to. As mentioned above, some drugs have the function of ulcer, so patients with ulcer should try to avoid taking these drugs. If they have to take it because of illness, they should also take it with drugs to protect the gastric mucosa.

Pay attention to keep warm and dress appropriately. Canker is easy to occur in autumn and winter, and it is easy to feel cold and catch a cold when the seasons change, so patients with canker must pay attention to keep warm. Patients with ulcers should wear loose clothes. Too tight clothes (such as tattooed breasts of women and tight underwear with modified body shape) will hinder the blood circulation of gastrointestinal tract and affect the nutrition of gastrointestinal mucosal cells, so it is better to wear loose clothes.

Dietary Suggestions Basic Dietary Principles You should abide by the basic dietary principles, which are the principles that every healthy person should abide by. Eating according to this dietary principle can ensure the normal calorie and nutritional balance of human activities in one day. As long as ulcer patients do this and avoid bad eating habits, they will lay the foundation for your disease cure.

Eating regularly, chewing slowly and eating regularly are the principles that ulcer patients must adhere to in their diet. As we have discussed, eating irregularly, overeating, eating too hard, too cold, too hot and wolfing down are all bad habits that induce ulcer disease. Then it is very important to establish good eating habits. First of all, we should have regular eating habits, and eat moderately, not too full and hungry. Some people suggest that patients with peptic ulcer should eat less and eat more meals, and the food should be fine and soft, but others suggest that it is better to eat three meals a day regularly, and do not advocate foods that are too soft and rotten. The reason is that food can not only neutralize gastric acid, but also stimulate gastric acid secretion. Eating continuously in one day can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, so that gastric acid is always at a high concentration, posing a threat to gastric mucosa. From the point of view of dietary regularity, it is not easy and impossible to achieve regularity, but it is better to eat three meals a day, chew slowly and eat less and eat more meals. In contrast, it is easier to do well. Chewing slowly, its function is not only to make food fully chewed, but also to increase saliva secretion through this chewing process, so that amylase in saliva can fully play its role; Neutralizing gastric acid can improve the gastric mucosal barrier. Therefore, no matter whether the food is thin or not, it is a good rhyming habit as long as it can be chewed slowly, while soft food such as porridge is often easily swallowed directly without chewing, which is not conducive to the digestion and utilization of amylase in saliva.

Avoiding irritating food is another principle that ulcer patients must follow. Alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, strong tea, spirits, spicy food, and overheated vegetables are all irritants that are not good for gastric mucosa. We must carefully control and quit.

Avoid eating foods that are sensitive to you. Maybe all these foods mentioned above are among them, but as long as you realize that these foods are more harmful to you, you must resolutely quit.

Early dinner time is a way to avoid stomach pain in patients with ulcers at one or two in the morning. It is found that eating dinner early can reduce the secretion of gastric acid at night, thus reducing the chance of abdominal pain at night, which is also one of the measures to cure ulcers.

Nutrients and Vitamins You Should Know At present, we haven't seen the exact information and application reports of vitamins in treating ulcers in China, but there are such references in some foreign materials, so I might as well introduce them to you.

Vitamin A Vitamin A seems to have both the effects of preventing peptic ulcer and helping ulcer healing. In the study of animals, it is found that vitamin A supplementation can prevent duodenal ulcer caused by hyperacidity. In one study, patients with chronic gastric ulcer were treated with acid preparation alone or acid preparation plus vitamin A respectively. After four weeks, the therapeutic effect of adding vitamin A was twice that of taking acid preparation alone.

The determination of vitamin C shows that the lower the content of vitamin C in the body, the higher the possibility of suffering from peptic ulcer. The probability of hemorrhagic peptic ulcer is also high. Some animal experiments showed that mice developed peptic ulcer after being fed with food lacking vitamin C.

In France and Japan, it has been reported that vitamin C or levovitamin C combined with ferrous sulfate is effective in treating peptic ulcer. But this is only a method for patients with vitamin C deficiency. For patients with ulcer without vitamin C deficiency, whether vitamin C has a therapeutic effect has not been reported.

Vitamin E Vitamin E is the most important antioxidant on cell membrane. A study in Russia pointed out that peptic ulcer may be related to the increase of lipid peroxide and the lack of vitamin E. In animal and human studies, vitamin E supplementation is found to help prevent the occurrence and treatment of ulcer, but even abroad, these need further confirmation. What we are seeing now are still some experimental reports.

Mineral aluminum hydroxide aluminum hydroxide is an aluminum salt, which has been used to treat peptic ulcer for a long time and can really increase the therapeutic effect of peptic ulcer. However, some people question whether long-term use of aluminum will increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, hinder the absorption of phosphorus, produce phosphorus deficiency, and lead to chondrosis. But in fact, aluminum hydroxide is not absorbed by the body, so whether this kind of worry is necessary is worth considering.

It is reported that bismuth, calcium, magnesium and zinc are beneficial to peptic ulcer, but there are uncertain reports, so they are not widely used in clinic.

Among them, bismuth is a preparation that can prevent the growth of Helicobacter pylori, and its curative effect is the same as that of the latest drugs, and its recurrence rate is low. But taking bismuth may cause damage to the nervous system.

Honey, a herbal medicine for nutritional treatment, is familiar to us all.
