Can you lose weight gastric ulcer ?
Improper weight loss will cause excessive secretion of gastric acid in the human body, accumulate a large amount of gastric acid in the stomach, corrode the stomach wall, and induce gastric ulcers. If the patient takes medication and adjusts the medication, it is likely to damage the gastric mucosa again, which will worsen the stomach disease . It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and not lose weight excessively, to prevent improper weight loss from causing greater pain to themselves, and to go to regular hospitals for examination and treatment in time.
Can smoking cause gastric ulcers?
Smokers have a larger ulcer surface and heal slowly. Even under effective medication, the ulcer heals slowly than non-smokers. This is mainly because:
1. nicotine in tobacco leaf can slightly damage the gastric mucosa, aggravate the damage to the gastric mucosa by ethanol or anti-inflammatory analgesics, and can also reduce the content of prostaglandin E in the mucosa, thereby losing its protective effect on the mucosa, so ulcers are prone to occur.
2. Long-term smoking can cause the proliferation of wall cells, increase gastric alcohol secretion, and produce its own digestion and lead to ulcers.
3. Nicotine in tobacco leaves can reduce the tone of the pyloric sphincter, make bile and duodenal fluid easily return to the stomach, inhibit the pancreas from secreting bicarbonate , thereby weakening the neutralization ability of gastric acid in the duodenal cavity, and prone to duodenal bulb ulcer .
Is gastric ulcer a serious disease?
1. Pain in gastric ulcers whose nature and pattern change often manifests as dull pain in the upper abdomen, burning or dull pain. The onset of pain is related to eating, which usually occurs within 1-2 hours after a meal and gradually decreases afterwards. If the pain loses the above regularity and becomes an irregular attack, or becomes a persistent dull pain, or the nature of the pain has changed significantly compared to the past, beware of it as a sign of cancer.
2. Patients with gastric ulcers with abdominal mass generally do not form abdominal mass, but if cancer becomes cancerous, the ulcer will become larger and hard. Advanced patients may palpate the left upper abdominal mass. The lump is hard, nodule-shaped, not smooth and painful.
3. The use of anti-ulcer drugs is ineffective. Although gastric ulcers are prone to recurrence, the symptoms can generally be relieved after taking anti-ulcer drugs. If the anti-ulcer drugs are not effective or even ineffective after a period of routine treatment, they should be suspected to be a precursor to cancer.
4. Patients with vomiting blood and black stool often vomit blood or asphalt-like stools recently, and the results of the occult blood test continue to be positive, resulting in severe anemia. These phenomena all indicate that gastric ulcers may be transforming into cancer.
5. If a patient with progressive weight loss experiences symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fever, progressive weight loss in a short period of time, there is a high possibility of cancer.
