Aunt Zhang's stomach pain these days is unbearable, to the first hospital of Harbin Medical University to find Professor Shi Lijun, director of gastroenterology, the examination found that Aunt Zhang had a stomach stone in her stomach, and a large ulcer was formed in the stomach corner under the influence of gastric stones. Aunt Zhang learned the results, and finally relieved that she did not have stomach cancer, and wondered: I have heard of gallstones, kidney stones, but I have not heard of stomach stones, will there be stones in the stomach?
When Discussing the reasons for the formation with Aunt Zhang, Director Shi asked Aunt Zhang: "Have you recently eaten fruits such as persimmons, black dates, and hawthorns?" Aunt Zhang recalled that just a few days before the stomach pain, she had eaten a handful of fresh hawthorn sent by a neighbor. Therefore, under the patient explanation of Director Shi, Aunt Zhang completed the trilogy of "surprise - half belief - sigh".
Autumn has arrived, and it has also entered the season of high incidence of stomach stones, which are stone clumps formed in the stomach after eating a certain substance. The shape is mostly round or oval, sometimes the size of a ping-pong ball. Plant-based stomach stones are mostly caused by persimmons, hawthorns, and black dates. These fruits have a high content of tannic acid, which combines with proteins in protein foods, gastric digestive enzymes, and gastric shedding epithelium under the action of gastric acid to form tannic acid proteins, which are difficult to dissolve in water. Deposited in the stomach, and then condensed with pectin and plant fibers, etc., to form stomach stones.
How to prevent the formation of stomach stones
1. Do not eat persimmons, black date hawthorn and other foods on an empty stomach, it is better to eat after meals, if the stomach "has a bottom", it will be less likely to form stomach stones;
2. Do not eat the above food for several consecutive days, and do not eat persimmon skin;
3. Do not eat after eating a high-protein diet such as fish, shrimp and crabs in large quantities.
The main treatments are commonly used
1. Oral administration of sodium bicarbonate or cola, maintaining a more alkaline environment, is conducive to the dissolution of gastric stones, and then gradually disintegrated and excreted;
2. Take drugs that reduce gastric acid secretion and drugs that promote gastrointestinal motility according to the situation;
3. For those with large and hard stones, most of them need to use endoscopic treatment, and there are more endoscopic treatment methods, such as injecting sodium bicarbonate into gastric stones, softening it, and then cutting it into small stones through the trap multiple times, or removing the body through the endoscopic net block, etc.;
4. Surgical treatment: refractory stones that have no effect through internal medicine treatment and endoscopic treatment can be removed by surgery.
Doctors remind that once you have symptoms such as epigastric discomfort, pain, fullness, nausea and vomiting after eating such food, please go to the hospital in time, parallel gastroscopy, and if necessary, hospitalization. The specific method is recommended to consult a professional doctor.
