Do you know what the most popular drugs are sold in pharmacies? There are probably only two: cold medicine and stomach medicine!
Affected by changes in the social environment, diet and living habits in recent years, the incidence of chronic gastrointestinal diseases in the mainland is getting higher and higher, and nearly 120 million adults are being plagued by gastrointestinal diseases;
Among them, chronic gastritis accounts for about 30%, which is equivalent to 36 million patients with chronic gastritis, and the most typical symptom of chronic gastrointestinal disease is indigestion!
Dyspepsia itself is not a disease, but a clinical syndrome, that is, the symptoms caused by gastric motility disorders, which include gastroparesis with poor gastric peristalsis and esophageal reflux.
Clinically, dyspepsia is divided into two categories: functional and organic, the so-called organic dyspepsia, which refers to indigestion caused by disease factors.
Diseases that may cause dyspepsia are mainly digestive system lesions, such as esophagitis or gastritis, stomach cancer, liver disease, gallbladder or biliary tract disease, pancreatic chronic disease and so on.
In addition, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, thyroid disease, etc., may also cause indigestion. After the exclusion of disease factors, recurrent dyspepsia is a functional disorder.
Usually, functional dyspepsia is mostly related to the following aspects:
1, dietary factors: if there are bad eating habits in the usual time, such as three meals are not fixed, eating habits overeating, talking in the process of eating, eating too much, etc., will cause indigestion.
Because the peristalsis of the stomach and the secretion of gastric acid have a certain rhythm, if the long-term meal is irregular, it will lead to gastric peristalsis and gastric acid secretion disorders, and the ingested food cannot be digested in time;
As a result, symptoms such as bloating, belching, and nausea occur after meals. If it is not corrected in time, there may be chronic gastritis, stomach ulcers and other diseases in the future;
2, temperature effects: many people have indigestion, are after eating a large amount of raw and cold food at a time, after catching a cold.
The reason for this is that although the human body surface and stomach are separated by fat layers and skin, if you do not pay attention to warmth, the climate is too cold, but you wear less, it will also cause irritation, resulting in poor blood circulation, reduced gastrointestinal function regulation, and then indigestion.
In addition, eating a large amount of raw and cold food at one time will also cause irritation to the gastric mucosa and nervous system, resulting in abnormal stomach functioning, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other manifestations;
3, living habits and emotional influence: If there are problems such as irregular diet and irregular life and rest in normal times, especially long-term staying up late and lack of sleep, it is easy to disrupt the peristalsis law of the stomach and intestines, so that the biological clock changes, and then cause gastrointestinal disorders.
In addition, there are related research surveys that show that bad mental emotions can also cause indigestion.
Because gastrointestinal function is conditioned, if long-term depression, restlessness, emotional anxiety or anxiety, it will affect the nervous system, did not lead to slower gastrointestinal response, changes in peristalsis, and then functional indigestion.
All in all, functional dyspepsia is affected by a variety of factors. When similar symptoms appear, everyone must first find the cause from the aspects of life and diet, and then make scientific adjustments.
However, if there are recent recurrent symptoms of dyspepsia, accompanied by stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, etc., or even have an impact on normal eating, this may be a signal of the arrival of the disease, and patients should be vigilant and seek medical attention in time for screening.
