Not only men, but also women, drink alcohol over a long period of time can be damaging to the digestive system. It may cause gastritis, reflux esophagitis, gastric ulcers and so on. It is recommended to drink alcohol in small amounts and in moderation.
1. Gastritis: Drinking high concentrations of alcohol can cause acute gastric mucosal lesions due to ethanol damage to the gastric mucosa, accompanied by vomiting blood, abdominal pain and so on. It is recommended to stop drinking in moderation.
2. Reflux esophagitis: Alcohol also affects the closing function of the sphincter of the esophageal cardia, which destroys the anti-reflux system of the body and cannot resist the reflux of gastric and duodenal contents, thus gradually causing reflux esophagitis.
3. Gastric ulcer: alcohol can make the blood vessels of the mucous membrane layer dilate, resulting in local edema, which can easily cause ulcers over time, and patients with previous ulcers are prone to aggravation.
If there are uncomfortable symptoms after drinking alcohol, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor for targeted treatment.
