Care:

1. Avoid mental stress: Gastric ulcer is a typical psychosomatic disease, and psychological factors have a great impact on gastric ulcer. When you are preparing for exams, getting a promotion, or are busy with work, long-term mental stress, anxiety, or emotional agitation, or excessive worry can easily produce adverse stimulation to the cerebral cortex, weakening or losing the regulatory function of the subthalamic center, causing autonomic nervous dysfunction, which is not conducive to food digestion and ulcer healing. The key to curing ulcers is to be cheerful and optimistic, be good at resolving worries on your own, live a regular life, combine work and rest, take a break from your busy schedule, find fun for yourself, and maintain a relaxed and happy mood.

2. Pay attention to regular life and climate changes: Patients with gastric ulcers must have a regular life and should not be overly tired. Excessive fatigue will not only affect the digestion of food, but also hinder the healing of ulcers. Ulcer patients must pay attention to rest and have a regular daily life. The onset of ulcer disease is related to climate change to a certain extent. Therefore, patients with ulcers must pay attention to climate change and add or remove clothes and quilts in time according to the changes in the solar terms.

3. Pay attention to food hygiene: Not paying attention to food hygiene, partial eating, picky eating, excessive consumption of cold drinks and cold food, or a fondness for irritating foods such as chili peppers, strong tea, coffee, etc., can all lead to gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction and are not conducive to the healing of ulcers. Paying attention to food hygiene, eating three meals a day at regular times and in regular amounts, eating in moderation, and chewing slowly are good habits that promote ulcer healing.
