Digestive tract perforation

In life, we often cause serious damage to our stomach due to some small details or some dietary errors. When the degree of damage exceeds the weight of the body, the stomach cannot withstand the pressure and will rupture. This is the so-called gastric perforation, which is also a perforation of the digestive tract. Gastric perforation is extremely harmful to the body. If not handled properly, it may lead to some complications.

Gastric perforation is actually a type of gastrointestinal ulcer disease and is also one of the most serious. Gastric perforation is mainly caused by improper diet, and most patients suffer from digestive tract perforation due to rapid eating. The following is a detailed introduction to the relevant knowledge about gastrointestinal perforation.

The patient's gastric perforation is mainly caused by overeating, which can cause an increase in gastric acid and pepsin, and can easily induce gastric perforation. Gastric perforation can result in death if not treated promptly. Patients with ulcers should not eat fast, they should chew slowly and carefully, and they should not be too hungry at other times. Avoid rough, overly cold, overly hot and irritating foods, such as chili, pepper, strong tea, etc., and quit smoking and drinking. When the pain is severe, you can eat soy milk or milk for a period of time, eat multiple meals, 5 to 8 times a day. After the condition improves, you can change to porridge and noodles, and gradually return to a normal diet.

The most common cause of gastric perforation is peptic ulcer. As the ulcer continues to deepen, it penetrates the muscle layer, the serosa, and finally the stomach or duodenal wall, causing perforation. Several different consequences can occur after a piercing. If the ulcer base has adhered to adjacent organs such as the pancreas and liver before perforation, forming a penetrating ulcer, this is a chronic perforation. In a few cases, the ulcer base is adhered to the transverse colon, forming a gastrocolic fistula after perforation. The above two situations mostly occur in the stomach, duodenal posterior wall ulcer perforation. If the ulcer quickly adheres to the greater omentum or nearby organs after perforation, abscesses may form around the perforation.

The following are some points to note when having a perforation of the digestive tract:

1. Eat less fried food: Because this kind of food is not easy to digest, it will increase the burden on the digestive tract. Eating too much will cause indigestion and increase blood lipids, which is not good for health.

2. Eat less pickled food: these foods contain more salt and certain carcinogens, so they should not be eaten too much;

3. Eat less raw, cold and irritating foods: Raw, cold and irritating foods have a strong irritating effect on the digestive tract mucosa, which can easily cause diarrhea or digestive tract inflammation;

4. Regular diet: Studies have shown that eating regularly, at regular times and in regular amounts, can form conditioned reflexes, help the secretion of digestive glands, and facilitate digestion;

5. Eat at regular times and quantitatively: Eat moderate amounts of food at each meal, and eat three meals a day at regular times. When the time comes, eat actively regardless of whether you are hungry or not, to avoid being too hungry or too full;

6. Appropriate temperature: The temperature of food should be neither too hot nor too cold;

7. Chew slowly to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. The more you chew your food, the more saliva you secrete, which protects the gastric mucosa.

8. Choose the right time to drink water: The best time to drink water is in the morning when you are fasting and one hour before each meal. Drinking water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, and soaking rice in soup will also affect the digestion of food;

9. Keep warm: If the stomach is cold, it will damage the function of the stomach, so you should keep the stomach warm and avoid cold;

10. Avoid stimulation: Do not smoke, because smoking causes the blood vessels in the stomach to constrict, affecting the blood supply to the stomach wall cells, reducing the resistance of the gastric mucosa and inducing stomach problems. Drink less alcohol and eat less spicy foods such as chili peppers and peppers;

11. Supplement vitamin C: Vitamin C has a protective effect on the stomach. Maintaining a normal level of vitamin C in gastric juice can effectively exert the function of the stomach, protect the stomach and enhance the stomach's resistance to disease. Therefore, eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C.

If everyone can strictly follow the instructions above, they should not suffer from diseases such as gastrointestinal perforation. In addition, while paying attention to the above points, patients should maintain a good and optimistic mood and a positive attitude towards disease treatment, so that gastrointestinal perforation can be cured in the shortest time.
