The current number of patients with stomach ulcers in the mainland has already exceeded 30 million, and the number of patients with stomach diseases is close to half of the total number of people with stomach diseases in the world.
Friends who have had stomach ulcers should have a deep understanding, and the pain often appears when hungry, relieved after eating, and can be aggravated at night.
Peptic ulcers also include gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. Ulcerative pain in the stomach occurs often 0.5-1 hour after a meal, while ulcer pain in the duodenum appears 2-3 hours after a meal.
This kind of pain can only be understood by those who have experienced it, and after eating a late meal, the stomach is very uncomfortable.
For people with stomach ulcers, there may be 4 ways to help improve symptoms
1. Quit smoking and alcohol
This is an important point for people with stomach problems. Drinking alcohol will undoubtedly increase the irritating effect on the gastric mucosa, especially if it will lead to the aggravation of the original stomach ulcer symptoms.
A large amount of smoking will make the tar and carbon monoxide produced by tobacco combustion irritate the gastric mucosa, or have toxic reactions. Moreover, the nicotine in tobacco reduces the sphincter tone of the pylorus in the stomach, which can lead to bile reflux.
2. Dietary rules
Stomach problems, naturally pay attention to diet. Usually, you can't overeat, don't be hungry, full, or eat supper or extra meals before going to bed at night.
In addition, in the acute stage of gastric ulcers, liquid foods should be eaten, such as soft and digestible white porridge, warm milk, etc.
Avoid eating hot or iced foods, drink less strong tea or coffee, etc. During the transition to rehabilitation, a normal diet may be given gradually.
3. Eliminate Helicobacter pylori
Although it cannot be said that Helicobacter pylori will necessarily cause stomach ulcers, the relationship between this pathogen and peptic ulcer is very close.
According to epidemiological indications, almost all patients with duodenal ulcer disease can be detected for helicobacter pylori in the stomach. About 70% of patients with stomach ulcers are also infected with this bacterium.
Therefore, if you find yourself with Helicobacter pylori infection during the physical examination, it is recommended that it be treated as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, the drug "Helicobacter pylori triple agent" is used reasonably under the doctor's advice, and it must not be used by itself. Treatment of the disease must be taken according to the course of treatment, without interruption.
4. Keep a good mood
For patients with peptic ulcer disease, maintaining a pleasant mood is also one aspect of the benefit of relieving symptoms. In fact, in the face of many diseases, you need to have an optimistic and positive attitude.
If the emotions are too excited, nervous, or extremely anxious, it will weaken the regulatory effect of our hypothalamus, which will cause autonomic dysfunction.
