Gastrointestinal symptoms

Introduction Gastrointestinal symptoms are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, which are caused by the release of histamine and inflammatory mediators. Occasionally, tumor mast cells can also directly infiltrate the gastrointestinal tract. Excessive physical or mental work: can cause insufficient blood supply to the stomach wall, and the stomach secretes and feeds, so that the digestive function of the stomach is weakened. Emotional stress and fatigue: In today's fast-paced and competitive society, people are prone to insomnia, anxiety and other nervous emotions, leading to gastric dysfunction and dysfunction, causing loss of appetite and other factors will affect the disease.

Cause

1. Excessive physical or mental work: It will cause insufficient blood supply to the stomach wall, and the stomach will secrete and feed, so that the digestive function of the stomach will be weakened.

2, emotional stress and excessive fatigue: In today's fast-paced and competitive society, people are prone to insomnia, anxiety and other nervous emotions, leading to gastric secretion of acid interference dysfunction, causing appetite decline.

3, alcoholism smoking: alcohol can damage the taste buds on the tongue, alcohol can also directly damage the gastric mucosa, if suffering from ulcer disease, chronic gastritis, alcoholism will aggravate the condition, and even cause perforation of the stomach and duodenum; The harm of the gastric mucosa is not less than drinking, and smoking can also cause chronic gastritis.

4, hunger and satiety: The stomach is often in a state of hunger, which will cause damage to the gastric mucosa for a long time.

5, overeating makes the stomach over-expanded: food stays too long, lightly causing mucosal damage, and heavy stomach perforation.

6, cold food: often eat cold food, especially eating cold food before going to bed can easily lead to stomach cold, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite.

7, fullness before going to bed: dinner too full, will inevitably increase the burden of gastrointestinal, gastric secretion disorder, prone to loss of appetite. In addition, it can also lead to obesity, sleeplessness, stones, diabetes, and the like.

8, exercise after eating: strenuous exercise after a short period of time will lead to increased gastric peristalsis, followed by stomach cramps, stomach pain, discomfort, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and some may even cause stomach torsion.

9, drug factors: Some chronic diseases require long-term medication, long-term use of certain drugs can lead to drug-induced taste disorders. Sometimes it has a certain relationship with the environment, mental state, and food processing.

Gastrointestinal function test

Gastrointestinal symptoms are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

an examination:

(1) Analysis of gastric juice: Gastric juice analysis is the oldest and most common method for diagnosing stomach diseases. It refers to the extraction of gastric juice for the determination and examination of relevant indicators (such as gastric acid) to determine whether the gastric juice is normal. It mainly includes three items, namely general trait inspection, chemical inspection and microscopic examination. Gastric juice analysis can not only reflect whether a person's gastric acid secretion is normal, but also has certain significance for gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and even for the diagnosis of gastric cancer.

(2) X-ray barium meal examination: X-ray barium meal examination is also called X-ray barium meal imaging, which refers to the patient's oral barium sulfate filling agent, which can clearly show the outline of the stomach when X-ray is used. X-ray barium meal examination can diagnose various diseases such as stomach, duodenal ulcer, gastric perforation, gastric bleeding and pyloric obstruction. In addition, in the past decade or so, the double contrast of X-ray barium meal in the digestive tract has made great progress.

(3) Gastroscopic examination: Fiberoptic endoscopy is currently the most diagnostic and most commonly used method for stomach diseases. It has wide vision, safe inspection, intuitive image, accurate and timely diagnosis, reliable data and convenient treatment. It can be used to diagnose gastric ulcer, gastritis and diseases of duodenum and esophagus. During the examination, the doctor directly sends the lens body from the patient's mouth and reaches the stomach cavity through the esophagus. In this way, the condition of the mucous membrane in the stomach can be directly observed, and the presence or absence of ulcers, the presence or absence of bleeding, the identification of benign and malignant ulcers, and the identification of gastric polyps or gastric cancer can be clearly observed. During gastroscopy, biopsy can also be used for pathological examination (also called gastric mucosal biopsy), which is convenient for definite diagnosis and greatly improves the detection rate of early gastric cancer. The gastroscope is not only used for diagnosis, but also for treatment. If gastric bleeding is found, it can be stopped by microwave or laser. It can also directly spray Meng's solution or thrombin to stop bleeding in the bleeding part, so that the patient can avoid the pain of surgery. In addition, the gastroscope also has the functions of water supply, water absorption, gas supply, and pumping.

(4) Other laboratory tests: Blood routine examination is also one of the most commonly used tests. It is mainly used to check anemia caused by various stomach diseases. The stool routine and fecal occult blood test are commonly used for the diagnosis of gastric bleeding. If the fecal occult blood test is positive, it may indicate gastric bleeding.

Differential diagnosis

Gastrointestinal symptoms should be differentiated from gastrointestinal disorders:

Gastrointestinal dysfunction is also known as gastrointestinal neurosis or gastrointestinal neurosis. The disease is mainly caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, and there are many backgrounds of mental factors, but there is no organic pathological basis in pathological anatomy, and does not include gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by other system diseases.
