Things to note for patients with gastric ulcers: daily health care should be done well

Nowadays our living and eating habits are not good, which can easily cause some stomach problems, the most common of which is gastric ulcer. If you suffer from gastric ulcer, you should pay attention to taking medicine on time, avoid excessive mental stress, and have good habits and regularities in life and diet.

1. You must insist on taking medication for a long time: Since gastric ulcer is a chronic disease and is prone to recurrence, you must insist on taking medication for a long time to make it heal completely. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly if the symptoms improve slightly, and do not change your mind frequently, switching to another medicine after taking a certain medicine for just a few days if the symptoms do not improve. Generally speaking, a course of treatment requires taking medication for 4 to 6 weeks, and after the pain is relieved, consolidation treatment must be continued for 1 to 3 months, or even longer.

2. Avoid mental stress : Gastric ulcer is a typical psychosomatic disease, and psychological factors have a great impact on gastric ulcer. Mental stress, emotional excitement, or excessive worry can produce adverse stimulation to the cerebral cortex, weakening or losing the regulatory function of the subthalamic center, causing autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which is not conducive to food digestion and ulcer healing. Maintaining a relaxed and happy mood is the key to curing gastric ulcers.

3. 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.

4. Pay attention to food hygiene: Not paying attention to food hygiene, being picky eaters, eating too little, not knowing when to eat or not being hungry or full, or eating too much cold drinks and cold food, or being addicted to spicy 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.
