Three small barbecues a day, and going out in the middle of the night to enjoy skewers. "The holiday is the peak period for citizens to gather for meals, but it is also a period of high incidence of acute gastrointestinal diseases. Today (October 7th), experts remind that excessive drinking and overeating will seriously affect health, and citizens should maintain a regular lifestyle and a healthy diet.
Yesterday, Xiao Wang had a barbecue with his friends until late at night. Shortly after, he experienced 7 episodes of periumbilical pain, diarrhea, and nausea. He quickly took some family standard antidiarrheal medication, but the condition did not improve. He quickly arrived at the outpatient department of Suzhou Municipal Hospital. Upon examination, it was found that the patient had symptoms of elevated white blood cells, which the doctor considered to be acute gastroenteritis. After treatment such as anti infection, regulating intestinal microbiota, and stopping diarrhea, his symptoms have significantly alleviated.
Suspected to be due to unclean diet leading to gastrointestinal infections, which is commonly known as' eating the stomach bad ', "said Xu Ya, the chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology. Acute gastroenteritis is an acute inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa caused by various reasons, with clinical manifestations mainly including abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and fever. The causes include unhygienic and uncontrolled diet, as well as consuming a large amount of high fat and calorie foods in a short period of time.
According to reports, during the National Day holiday, not only were patients with acute gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis, indigestion, and other conditions more common in the gastroenterology outpatient department. Yesterday alone, the hospital admitted more than 70 patients. During holidays, there is an irregular diet and frequent gatherings. If you suddenly consume a large amount of greasy and stimulating food, it is like causing the digestive system to 'work overtime', which can easily cause direct damage such as acute cholecystitis. Xu Ya introduced that under the pressure of overeating, it can cause the pancreas to secrete a large amount of pancreatic juice, increasing pancreatic duct pressure. Drinking too much alcohol may trigger acute pancreatitis and cause digestive organ strikes. In addition, frequent consumption of greasy and stimulating foods such as night snacks not only increases obesity, but also stimulates the gastric mucosa, leading to erosion, ulcers, and other symptoms when food stays in the body for a long time.
In recent days, the temperature has sharply decreased, and citizens with weaker gastrointestinal functions should pay more attention. Xu Ya said that in addition to avoiding eating too cold, too much, and too spicy, citizens should also pay attention to keeping warm and food fresh to prevent gastrointestinal "holiday sickness" caused by irregular diet. If acute symptoms have already appeared, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
