Is it easy for stomach problems to recur in spring?

I believe everyone has heard of the saying “cover up in spring and keep cold in autumn”. Spring is a high-incidence season for various diseases, especially stomach diseases. In this season, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the gastrointestinal function will be affected. Stomach pain or cramps often occur due to cold, so you must pay attention to keeping warm. In the spring, patients with stomach problems must pay special attention to adjusting their diet and daily life, improving bad living habits, drinking more hot water, paying attention to stomach care, and keeping a happy mood. Stomach problems are prone to recurring in spring, so how can we prevent it?

Tip 1: Eat regularly

Eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and avoid overeating. Avoid irritating foods such as overly sour or spicy foods, as well as raw, cold, and indigestible foods. Chew slowly when eating so that the food can be fully mixed with saliva, which facilitates digestion and reduces stomach irritation.

Tip 2: Eat less food or medicine that irritates the stomach

The harmful components in tobacco can increase gastric acid secretion and produce harmful irritation to the gastric mucosa. Excessive smoking can cause bile reflux. Excessive drinking or long-term consumption of strong liquor can cause congestion, edema, and even erosion of the gastric mucosa, and significantly increase the incidence of chronic gastritis. In addition, long-term use of drugs that are irritating to the gastric mucosa, such as erythromycin, can cause damage to the gastric mucosa and lead to inflammation or ulcers.

Tip 3: Stay in a good mood

The health of the stomach has a lot to do with mental factors. Excessive mental stimulation, such as long-term tension, fear, sadness, depression, etc., can cause dysfunction of the cerebral cortex, promote vagus nerve dysfunction, lead to spasmodic contraction of the gastric wall blood vessels, and then induce gastritis and gastric ulcers.

In fact, the onset of stomach problems is a long process. Excessive drinking and eating are most likely to cause stomach problems, especially in the spring when the weather is warm and cold, which can easily lead to the occurrence of stomach problems. Therefore, if you find any discomfort in your stomach, you should go to a regular medical institution in time to avoid missing treatment.
