Peptic ulcer

We often cause certain changes in our digestive tract due to various reasons, the most common of which are indigestion, peptic ulcers and so on. The digestive tract is responsible for the digestion of food in our body and plays an irreplaceable role in the body. However, many times people tend to ignore this aspect and do not know how to protect it, which causes digestive tract diseases to occur frequently.

As mentioned above, gastrointestinal ulcer is a relatively common gastrointestinal disease. However, due to the high incidence of this disease, it is more difficult to treat, but it can still be cured. The following is a comprehensive introduction to gastrointestinal ulcers and their symptoms.

Peptic ulcer mainly refers to chronic ulcer occurring in the stomach and duodenum, which is a common disease. There are various factors that lead to the formation of ulcers, among which the digestive effect of acidic gastric juice on the mucosa is the basic factor in the formation of ulcers, hence the name. Any part that comes into contact with acidic gastric juice, such as the lower esophagus, anastomosis after gastrointestinal anastomosis, jejunum, and Meckel's diverticulum with ectopic gastric mucosa. The vast majority of ulcers occur in the duodenum and stomach, so they are also called gastric and duodenal ulcers.

Other symptoms and signs of peptic ulcer

(1) Other symptoms In addition to upper abdominal pain, this disease may also cause other gastrointestinal symptoms such as increased salivation, heartburn, nausea, acid belching, belching, nausea, and vomiting. Appetite usually remains normal, but occasionally the patient may be afraid to eat due to pain after eating, resulting in weight loss. Systemic symptoms may include manifestations of neurosis such as insomnia, or symptoms of autonomic nervous system imbalance such as bradycardia and excessive sweating.

(2) Physical signs During the ulcer attack, there may be localized tenderness in the upper and middle abdomen, but the degree is not severe. The location of the tenderness is usually consistent with the location of the ulcer.

Peptic ulcer is a typical psychosomatic disease. Psychological and social factors play an important role in the onset of the disease. Therefore, an optimistic mood, a regular life, and avoiding excessive tension and fatigue are very important both during the onset and remission of the disease. When the ulcer is active and the symptoms are severe, you should rest in bed for a few days or even 1 to 2 weeks.

I believe that through the above detailed introduction to gastrointestinal ulcers, most people should have a certain understanding of this disease. After understanding it, it will help us in the future treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers, as well as how we can do preventive work in our daily life, which is the most important thing.
