There was a sharp pain in the heart
I don't know when it started, Wang Lizhen, who lives in the northeast, always feels a pain in the heart of the heart. Aunt Wang said that it was really the kind of severe pain that seemed to have countless insects penetrating her heart, and she couldn't do anything when it hurt, and her mind was blank, and she could hardly speak. It can only be relieved by sitting down and gasping for breath for a while.
Aunt Wang only thinks that she has not rested well, after all, she is a 50-year-old rural person, and it is normal to have a little problem. So she held on for several years. During this period, Aunt Wang's husband couldn't bear his wife's suffering so much, and took her to the hospital to see a doctor many times, but he couldn't find out why. Later, they were introduced to an old Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and boiled the medicine and drank a cup every day, and Aunt Wang's symptoms did improve a little, and it was indeed less painful.
But in the 5th year of inexplicable heart pain, Aunt Wang's condition deteriorated sharply, and she began to faint suddenly without warning. Sometimes it's when she's doing farm work, sometimes she's walking, sometimes she can only say a word and she faints, and even Aunt Wang's mood fluctuates a little, and her eyes will go dark.
Now Aunt Wang's husband couldn't sit still anymore, and he decided to go bankrupt to find out what the situation was.
Although neighbors, relatives and friends, and even Aunt Wang thought that they could live for a year and a half if they continued to take Chinese medicine, if they went for surgery, it would really be doomed! But Aunt Wang's husband did not shy away from medical treatment, he thought that he had to fight hard to say anything, and he really couldn't bear to see his wife suffer anymore.
After inquiring for a long time, the two finally came to the Department of Cardiac Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, wanting to ask the doctor to find out the cause of the disease and save Aunt Wang's life.
Terrifying heart
In response to Aunt Wang's description, the doctors were also a little confused, and couldn't think of a possible reason for a while, because Aunt Wang's condition has lasted for 5 years, to put it mildly, such a serious symptom has endured for so long, but it still survives, and there are not many diseases that match the situation.
But it's okay, after careful inspection, it will definitely be rewarding.
But when the doctor saw the X-ray, he was confused, and although the heart in front of him was not full of holes, it was clear that there was a problem. He didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he called the deputy chief physician An Shoukuan. After the deputy chief physician saw the X-ray, he also frowned, and then called the chief physician Tian Weichen. After several doctors got together to check the X-rays, they were surprised to find that two-thirds of Aunt Wang's heart was diseased, and there were even 6 cysts attached to it! The condition is very serious, which can lead to cardiac ischemia at any time, causing Aunt Wang to die suddenly.
After informing Aunt Wang of the situation, Aunt Wang suddenly felt like her heart was dead. Even though she has lived in the countryside all her life, she knows how terrible it is to have a tumor in her heart. She pulled her husband and said that she was going to leave, because she felt that she was dead and didn't want to spend all the family's money on useless work.
Aunt Wang's husband really couldn't screw his wife, so he could only take her back first.
I don't know if it's a psychological factor or what, Aunt Wang's angina after returning home has become more and more intense, and it has reached a level where Aunt Wang can no longer bear it. Aunt Wang's husband persuaded her again and again, and finally got Aunt Wang to agree to return to the hospital for surgery.
Finally confirmed
The operation began quickly, and the experienced doctors had a clear goal, they had to remove the 6 cysts first, and then use them for pathological analysis, and then treat them accordingly.
But when Aunt Wang's chest cavity was cut open and the heart was exposed, the doctors were stunned again: where is this heart, it is simply grapes! I saw cysts huddled together, shiny and slightly beating. But the crux of the matter is not how horrible the heart looks, but the X-ray shows that there are 6 cysts, but now 9 are seen!
The doctors immediately decided to remove a part of the tissue for pathological analysis, and then suture the chest cavity first, and not act rashly.
Aunt Wang's husband outside the operating room was half frightened to death when he heard about it, but it had come to this point, and there was no room to retreat. He expressed his full support for the doctors' proposals.
The results of the pathological analysis came out soon, and the reason that had plagued Aunt Wang's family for 5 years was finally revealed: it turned out that Aunt Wang was infected with echinococcosis granulosa, which is also known as echinococcosis in Western medicine!
This is a disease caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus infecting humans, but humans are not actually one of the target hosts of Echinococcus granulosus, and humans infected with Echinococcus granulosus are almost always infected by accident. Because the ultimate host of Echinococcus granulosus is dogs, they live in the upper part of the dog's small intestine and do not even cause harm to dogs. However, it may affect many intermediate hosts, including cattle, sheep and humans.
As for human infection with Echinococcus granulosus, there are many ways, and the endemic area of human echinococcosis is the area with a large proportion of animal husbandry production, so there is no need to say more, right?
When Echinococcus granulosus enters the human body, it may parasitize different organs in humans, causing symptoms of mass compression and systemic toxicity. Because of the different parasitic organs, it may be divided into hepatic echinococcosis, cerebral echinococcosis, pulmonary echinococcosis, cardiac echinococcosis and so on.
In short, knowing the cause, it is easy to deal with it next, it is worth mentioning that the doctor found that there were thousands of worms in each cyst in Aunt Wang's heart, totaling more than 10,000!
In the follow-up, Aunt Wang recovered well.
Why is it infected?
In order to find out how Aunt Wang was infected with echinococcosis, the hospital's expert team also came to Aunt Wang to check the situation. As a result, they found that Aunt Wang's family did not raise cattle and sheep at all, and even other livestock! How is that infected?
When they walked to the vegetable patch, the experts saw a puppy, on a leash, and instantly understood everything.
After inquiry, the puppy has been kept for more than ten years and has been kept on a leash to watch over the vegetable patch. It will be excreted directly in the vegetable field, and Aunt Wang's family thought that it could also fertilize the vegetables, so they didn't care. Dogs are the ultimate hosts of Echinococcus granulosus, and they excrete Echinococcus granulosus eggs because they attach to the dish. In addition, dogs have the habit of licking their anuses, which may also make the eggs stick to people's hands after licking people.
Aunt Wang is very fond of eating Northeast dipping sauce, which is eaten with raw vegetable dipping sauce.
Aunt Wang's husband said that they did eat like this often, sometimes it was troublesome, and they didn't even wash the vegetables much. After eating it for so many years, I really didn't expect it to be the reason.
postscript
I don't think this family will dare to eat Northeast dipping pickles in the future, but the disease has been cured.
Therefore, friends, if you are sick from the mouth, you must pay more attention to hygiene, and you must wash everything that can be eaten raw such as vegetables and fruits! In addition, after close contact with pets, wash your hands and face well.
Remember!
