Not long ago, Shanghai Children's Hospital
A 5-year-old boy Xiaowei (pseudonym) was treated.
Ultrasonography shows
He had one in his stomach
A "stone" the size of a duck egg
And the "stone" has been condensed for two weeks
Seriously affect your child's normal diet
Must be removed immediately!
Turns out two weeks ago
Xiao Wei's parents bought his favorite persimmon cake
The little guy devoured several in a row
After eating, I threw up 2 more times
Spit out are all lumpy persimmon cakes
Mom and Dad could even be on his stomach
Touch a lump

The next few days
Xiao Wei occasionally felt a little pain in his stomach
But not very powerful
Mom and Dad didn't pay much attention either
Until a week later
Only then did I notice that the lump on my stomach had not shrunk significantly
So I went to the local hospital for treatment
Ultrasonography
It may have been gastrolithiasis!
Gastrolithiasis refers to the accumulation of certain foods, drugs, indigestible items, foreign bodies, etc. in the stomach to form a special coagulant or hard mass that cannot be digested and cannot be discharged in time.
For further diagnosis
The parents took Xiaowei to Shanghai Children's Hospital for treatment
Due to the long residual time
Your child already has two large ulcers in his stomach
Fortunately, there are no abnormalities in the duodenum and mucous membranes below
Liu Haifeng, chief physician of Children's Hospital, said
Gastrolithiasis is a relatively rare disease of the digestive tract
5 year old child in a short period of time
It is rare to form a stomach stone the size of a duck egg!
Gastrolaria are mostly clumps formed in the stomach, large can not pass through the pylorus and remain in the stomach, small size can enter the small intestine to cause intestinal obstruction. The most common is the formation of stomach stones due to pica eating hair that cannot be digested.
Due to the larger gastrolaria
There is no way to take it out in its entirety
Doctors at endoscopic centers
It took 4 hours to remove!
The total weight reached more than 100 grams!
Two or two are so heavy
The "gravel" photo taken out is exposed
Draw the point
Not only persimmon cakes, persimmons
There are also hawthorns, black dates and other foods
Eating a large amount on an empty stomach carries a risk of gastrolithiasis
Especially in people with poor digestive function
as well as children with poor gastric motility
It is recommended to eat less of the above fruits
Doctors also specifically recommend:
For preschool children
Parents must remind their children
What a tasty thing
Nor can you overeat "eat until you vomit"!
Everyone had this when they were kids
The experience of "eating hurts"?
Welcome to share reminders!
