Our stomach is the main organ of digesting food, and it is filled with corrosive stomach acid. Usually, the inner wall of the stomach is filled with protective mucus to prevent contact between the stomach acid and the stomach wall. If the gastric acid is increased or the protective mucus is reduced due to some reasons, gastric acid may contact the disease and damage the stomach wall and cause gastritis.
Nowadays, life is fast and stressful, which makes everyone have poor eating habits, greedy for coolness, spicy food, hunger and full meals, which will lead to gastritis. Ms. Zhang, a patient in this case, suffered from gastritis because of her poor eating habits.
[First Meeting Patients]
48-year-old Ms. Zhang is a car ticket seller. Due to work reasons, she often does not eat on time. A year ago, Ms. Zhang developed symptoms of intermittent stomachache. After performing gastroscopy for Ms. Zhang, the hospital found that she had chronic superficial gastritis . After taking a chewable tablet of magnesium carbonate, the symptoms were relieved. But two days ago, Ms. Zhang was a little worried because her son did not work hard in his studies. After emotional fluctuations, intermittent stomach pain reappeared, and the symptoms were even more serious, accompanied by nausea. After taking chewable tablets of magnesium aluminum carbonate for a week, Ms. Zhang's symptoms did not relieve, so she found Professor Ma Shuhua for treatment.
[Treatment Process]
Ma Shuhua communicated with Ms. Zhang about her condition. During the communication, she learned that Ms. Zhang's symptoms were epigastric pain , nausea, hiccup , fatigue, poor sleep, yellow urine, unformed stool and sticky texture. Through inspection, Zhang Shuhua found that Ms. Zhang’s tongue was red, her fur was thin and white, and her pulse was stringy. Professor Ma Shuhua combined the examination report and the consultation content to determine that Ms. Zhang suffered from epigastric pain caused by liver depression and qi stagnation.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that epigastric pain is mostly caused by factors such as incontinent diet, preferring to eating raw and cold food, or worrying about troubles and anger, which leads to stomach lesions. The stomach's reception, decomposition and digestive function depend on the transportation and transformation of the spleen, the dispersion of liver qi and the warmth of kidney yang . For this reason, it is necessary to relax the liver and stomach, regulate qi and relieve pain.
Based on Ms. Zhang's situation, Dr. Ma Shuhua followed the treatment principles of healing the liver and stomach, regulating qi and relieve pain, and chose the classic prescription, Chaihu Shugan San for addition and subtraction for treatment. After breakfast or dinner, take it with warm water.
Doctor Ma Shuhua reminds Ms. Zhang to pay attention to diet and life conditioning and improve bad diet habits. In terms of dietary choices, you should choose soft and easy to digest in summer, and avoid using diets that are irritating to the stomach, including too strong spices, overheated and cold daily diets, as well as spicy and greasy foods; when eating, you should develop the habit of chewing slowly to achieve easy digestion and reduce irritation to the stomach. Dr. Ma Shuhua told Ms. Zhang that she should avoid taking or try to take drugs that are highly irritating to the stomach as much as possible in the near future and maintain a good mood.
