Every June, it's arbutus season. However, in some areas, it is rumored that after eating bayberry, swallowing bayberry core, laxative and defecating, there are many benefits, so many people of the older generation have an "unscientific" way to eat bayberry core. In the early morning of June 15, a 74-year-old man in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, was admitted to the hospital because he swallowed bayberry nucleus and suffered from intestinal obstruction.
On the evening of the 14th, Mrs. Jin, who had finished dinner, was outside to cool off and eat a bowl of bayberry beautifully. Because there has always been a saying that eating bayberry is easy to get on fire, swallowing bayberry nuclear energy under fire, bayberry core in the intestine can also take away the dirty things in the intestine, clear the intestine laxative, Mrs. Jin has always had the habit of swallowing bayberry core. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, she was awakened by a sharp abdominal pain in her sleep. Because of repeated severe abdominal pain, the old man who could not stand it was sent to the emergency department of Taizhou Central Hospital by his children.
The emergency doctor listened to the family's description and swallowed the bayberry nucleus, and judged that the old man was blocked in the intestine and caused intestinal obstruction. CT examination found that there are many arbutus nuclei in the intestines of the elderly, at least a dozen of them, and it is indeed the bayberry nucleus that causes intestinal obstruction. The elderly were urgently arranged to be admitted to gastrointestinal surgery for emergency treatment.
"It didn't matter if you ate it before, why can't you do it now?" The old man was puzzled. The doctor said that on the one hand, it may be that he swallowed too much this time, and on the other hand, his intestinal peristalsis ability weakened after he was older. At present, the intestines of the elderly have been unblocked and continue to be hospitalized for observation.
"At this time of year, we receive patients with intestinal obstruction due to swallowing bayberry nuclei." Doctors said that most of these patients are eaten because of the superstition that swallowing bayberry core can clear heat, detoxify, moisturize the intestines and laxative, in fact, this theory is not scientific. The bayberry core is hard and cannot be digested by the human body, and it is generally possible to swallow one by itself through defecation. If you swallow too much at one time, it is easy to accumulate in the narrow intestine, causing intestinal obstruction, and even causing bleeding, perforation and other conditions.
"Whatever the purpose, we don't recommend devouring bayberry cores!" Doctor reminds.
Similar situations continue to emerge
Not only the elderly are the most likely to be recruited
Young people have it too
Recently, an old man in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, "swallowed" 200 bayberry cores and was rushed to the hospital. It is understood that in the past month, Uncle Wang has intermittently eaten bayberry, and is reluctant to spit out the core, and swallows each one.
Wang Dabo, who has always been in good health, recently developed symptoms such as bloating, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, and his family rushed him to the local county hospital for treatment.
After CT examination, the stomach retention was found, and a large number of granular objects could be seen in the stomach, densely packed. The doctor inquired and learned that Uncle Wang had recently consumed a large number of bayberry and did not spit out the core.
In the following image is the undigested bayberry nucleus.
After conservative treatment in the county hospital, Wang Dabo's symptoms did not alleviate, so he was transferred to the Third Hospital of Zhangzhou City for further treatment.
After being admitted to the hospital, the doctors of the digestive endoscopy room performed "foreign body removal" under the gastroscope, fished back and forth more than 100 times through the foreign body net basket, removed more than 100 bayberry nuclei, and visually measured dozens of others in the stomach.
In addition, through gastroscopy, there was an unexpected discovery that Wang Dabo's anthral part had a large area of ulcers, and biopsy pathology suggested malignancy. Fortunately, the discovery was timely, the operation was successfully completed, and the patient recovered well after the operation.
According to doctors, many malignant tumors are "silent killers", there is no "alarm signal" in the early stages, and many of the patients they receive are already in the middle and advanced stages when they find out.
Similar to this kind of raw bayberry nuclear accident, young people have also occurred. According to the Digestive Endoscopy Center of the Third Hospital of Zhangzhou City, a 32-year-old man who took more than thirty bayberry in a row developed duodenal ulcers and obstruction. Initial symptoms are persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloating. After more than half an hour of efforts by the doctor, the patient's stomach bayberry core was successfully removed.
According to the doctor, clinically, due to swallowing a large number of bayberry nuclei caused by abdominal distension abdominal pain, duodenal ulcer or intestinal obstruction of the patients are not a minority, many people from childhood to hear the older generation of people say that bayberry nuclei help digestion, in fact, these statements do not have any scientific basis, but let more patients with poor bowel movements into the hospital.
Doctors remind: due to the small esophagus and trachea, children should not easily swallow bayberry nuclei to avoid the occurrence of foreign bodies stuck in the throat.
