dyspepsia
With the increase of age, for many elderly people, the quality of life is declining. The lower the quality of life, the closer to death, in life Today, when the level is constantly improving, the focus of our life is no longer "live long", but how to "live well". What is the quality of your life with ?
Today we are talking about a disease that will steal your quality of life, and the incidence of elderly is 24.5% lowered by 6span 5 , May also affect the length of life.
The dyspepsia that takes away the quality of life
In Director Xu’s clinic, we saw a patient who was full and suffered from indigestion for several decades. In the year , I didn’t pay attention at first. When I got sick, I bought my medicine and took it myself. In severe cases, vomited and couldn’t eat food. I lost nearly 10 kg a year.
This kind of symptom that looks like indigestion, everyone has experienced it more or less,Why does it take away the quality of our lives?
The original indigestion that takes away the quality of life is functional dyspepsia , The symptoms of onset have the following characteristics:
_span_span strong 6 span_strong 6 span_strong burning pain
② Upper abdomen early fullness or fullness after a meal
③ Anorexia, choking
④ Nausea or vomiting symptoms
⑤
⑥ No abnormalities in digestive tract endoscopy, biochemical examination, etc.
There are two types of dyspepsia: one is called span . , it can find the cause of the disease through inspection, such as gastric cancer, ulcers, dyspepsia caused by gastritis ; another is called functional dyspepsia ,I have done a lot of tests to rule out organic diseases, but I have a series of symptoms of indigestion mentioned above.
The incidence of functional dyspepsia is very high, especially among the elderly, 1/4 people have experienced similar symptoms, this kind of dyspepsia cannot be ignored.
Why do elderly people have functional dyspepsia? The reason
appear functional dyspepsia
1 lack of gastric motility
The following are young and old Comparison of the time of eating and stomach emptying. Under normal circumstances, it takes only 53 minutes for young people to eat , and the food in the stomach can be empty; but for the elderly with poor gastric motility, gastric emptying_ span8span time will be extended, up to 195 minutes, almost four times that of young people, so old people always feel full.
There are many factors for insufficient gastric motility. As age increases,All aspects of the body are beginning to degenerate, and muscle strength, nerve cells, and media release are also changing. Therefore, lack of gastric motility deteriorates with age .
2 digestive enzymes reduce
The two main digestive enzymes in the human body are pancreatin and pepsin _ _ _. Pancreatin is secreted by the glandular cells of the pancreas and enters the small intestine through the pancreatic duct. When we eat, pancreatin secretes a lot to help us digest.
Once pancreatin is deficient, a series of symptoms of indigestion will appear , first manifestation of indigestion of fat:
①Stool sticky, sticking to the toilet bowl span8span
②Stool with blistering, oil droplets
③With foul odor
_strong p

Normal people only drink about 900ml of water to feel the stomach is full; but patients with functional dyspepsia, because the stomach's receptivity is reduced, drink less than 500 Milliliters of water, you will feel stomach upset. Therefore, people with functional dyspepsia may have a gastric sensitivity increase , leading to feeling full after eating a little bit.
4 gastric acid increases secretion
Which foods can cause increased stomach acid?
① viscous food is not easy to digest, such as rice dumplings, glutinous rice balls
② sweets fatIt is easy to stimulate gastric acid secretion, such as cake
③ Starchy foods will break down into sugars and stimulate gastric acid secretion, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes
④ beans _strong10 p2p ⑤ spicy food will stimulate gastric acid secretion
If we have some symptoms of indigestion at the time, we should eat some of these foods properly. select.
causes functional dyspepsia In addition to the above four factors, the mental state of is also very important, especially anxiety and depression , which are closely related to functional dyspepsia.
In addition, history of acute gastroenteritis, poor lifestyle, ageing intestinal flora , etc. can also cause functional dyspepsia.
If functional dyspepsia is not controlled for a long time, it will affect the body's nutrient absorption and damage the body's immunity. Once the immunity of the elderly declines, various diseases will follow.The quality of life will also decline rapidly. What should I do if this symptom occurs?
Mistakes in the medication of dyspepsia
If you have symptoms of dyspepsia, you must first go to the hospital for corresponding examinations, and will confirm that it is functional dyspepsia. .
Medications are divided into prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Over-the-counter drugs can be purchased directly from pharmacies, which are safer and have fewer side effects. However, if does not improve after seven days of use, you should consult a doctor in time.
