Li Xue is a 45-year-old high school Chinese teacher, busy with work on weekdays, often so busy that she doesn't have time to eat well, recently she found that she always feels a faint stomach discomfort, sometimes accompanied by bloating, belching and other symptoms, at first she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it may be caused by the recent work pressure, just take a break.
However, after a few weeks, instead of getting better, the symptoms tended to worsen, Li Xue began to be a little worried, and decided to go to the hospital to have a look, in the outpatient clinic of the hospital, the doctor carefully inquired about her medical history and symptoms, and suggested that she do a gastroscopy in order to confirm the cause.
Hearing that she was going to have a gastroscopy, Li Xue suddenly hesitated: "Doctor, is the gastroscopy very painful? Will there be any risks? I've been too busy with work recently, so I should stop observing for a few days." "
The doctor said earnestly: "Ms. Li, I understand your concerns, but stomach problems may be aggravated if they are delayed, or even evolve into more serious diseases, although gastroscopy may be a little uncomfortable, but it is very important for the diagnosis of diseases, the risk is very small, your health is the most important, don't joke with your body." "
Li Xue thought about it for a while, and finally decided to follow the doctor's advice, with the help of doctors and nurses, Li Xue successfully completed the gastroscopy, and the examination results showed that Li Xue suffered from chronic atrophic gastritis, and the gastric mucosa had atrophied and damaged to a certain extent.
The doctor explained to Li Xue: "Atrophic gastritis is a common chronic stomach disease, if not treated in time, it may increase the risk of stomach cancer. "
Li Xue realized the seriousness of the matter, she decided to adjust her lifestyle, eat reasonably, exercise moderately, reduce work pressure, and at the same time, she also took medicine according to the doctor's instructions and had regular check-ups, and gradually her stomach discomfort was relieved and her physical condition improved.
But this is not the end of the story, half a year later, in a follow-up, the doctor found some suspicious polyps in Li Xue's gastroscopy results, and the doctor told her that although most of these polyps are benign, there is also a certain risk of malignant transformation, and further biopsy is recommended.
Li Xue chuckled in her heart, but she understood that in the face of possible problems, early detection and early treatment were the best policy, the biopsy results came out, fortunately the polyps were benign, and the doctor told Li Xue to continue to maintain good living habits, regular monitoring, and if polyps were found to be enlarged or abnormal in shape, they might need to be removed.
Through this experience, Li Xue really felt the value of health, she began to pay more attention to the balance of life, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and pay more attention to the health of the people around her, she even opened a health lecture in the school to share her experience with students, calling on everyone to improve health awareness and treat their bodies well.
Li Xue's story is a story about health awareness and courage to face, many people always have a fluke mentality when they are unwell, thinking that it is not a big deal, and they will get better in a few days, but they do not know that behind some seemingly ordinary symptoms, there may be serious health risks.
Taking stomach problems as an example, stomach pain, flatulence, belching, etc. are common symptoms, but if they occur repeatedly for a long time, they need to be paid attention to, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, stomach discomfort is more likely to indicate chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, and even stomach cancer.
In the face of abnormal signals in the body, we must not take it lightly, but also can not joke about their health, timely medical treatment, the courage to face possible problems, is the responsible attitude, the doctor's advice is by no means alarmist, but based on professional judgment, responsible for the health of the patient, although gastroscopy and other examinations may bring temporary discomfort, but compared with the benefits of early detection of the disease and timely intervention, what is this discomfort?
On the other hand, the story also reminds us to pay attention to stomach health, a bad stomach will not only affect digestion and absorption, but also may be the starting point of a variety of diseases, the way to nourish the stomach lies in a reasonable diet, regular work and rest, to maintain a happy mood, for some high-risk groups, such as middle-aged and elderly people, people with a family history of stomach problems, etc., but also to develop a good habit of regular physical examination, don't wait for the disease to regret it.
Li Xue's experience also gives us a revelation: health is not only our own business, but also our responsibility to our family and society, a person's unhealth may affect the whole family, and even cause a wider range of negative impacts, on the contrary, a person's health awakening, but may drive more people to pay attention to health, forming a positive social atmosphere.
