Summer is the season of intestinal diseases, and the fast-paced work life also exacerbates the intestinal problems to a certain extent. So what is the knowledge of intestinal disease prevention in summer? Please see below. What is the knowledge of intestinal disease prevention in summer? 1. The hot weather and rain in summer and autumn provide suitable natural conditions for the growth and reproduction of intestinal pathogenic bacteria. 2, although the human body itself has a certain defense ability against external pathogens like the mouth has a certain amount of lysozyme, gastric juice contains a large amount of gastric acid can kill pathogenic bacteria with food into the digestive tract, but intestinal pathogenic bacteria can use the tactic of “more than one” or “take advantage of the situation” to attack people’s health. 3, summer sweating more, a lot of water diluted gastric juice also reduces the local resistance, creating conditions for the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. And the summer heat, people do not rest well, resistance is reduced, but also prone to diarrheal disease. What are the causes of summer intestinal diseases? Summer diarrhea is mostly an acute intestinal infection caused by a variety of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and parasites. There are dozens of known pathogens, such as Shigella causing bacterial dysentery, Salmonella causing gastrointestinal food poisoning, Vibrio cholerae causing cholera, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and so on. These bacteria are widely present in the intestines, offal and muscle of various poultry, in various seafood, and in the intestinal excretions of patients or carriers. What are the common summer intestinal infections? The more common intestinal infections are: bacterial dysentery, typhoid, cholera, enteritis and food poisoning. The main clinical symptoms are gastrointestinal symptoms, mostly diarrhea, “diarrhea”, abdominal pain, vomiting, etc. Some also have some systemic symptoms, such as fever, headache, etc. Although these diseases have the commonality of gastrointestinal symptoms, but each disease has its own characteristics. Food and water contaminated by pathogenic bacteria without thorough processing and sterilization, such as eating cold dishes and drinking raw water, are the most common causes of typhoid and paratyphoid infections. More outbreaks are caused by water sources, mainly by drinking river water, lake water, pond water, and collective water supply pipes such as broken or poorly disinfected water pipes, which are contaminated with S. typhi and cause outbreaks. Close contact with patients in daily life can also cause infection, so pay attention to personal protection when caring for patients. What are summer intestinal diseases Gastrointestinal infections are pathogens that invade the body through the digestive tract and cause lesions in the gastrointestinal tract and even other systems. Thereafter, the pathogens can be excreted through the intestinal tract and continue to spread. The medical term for this type of disease is intestinal infectious diseases, commonly known as bacterial dysentery, amoebic dysentery, acute and chronic enteritis, bacterial food poisoning, viral hepatitis, and typhoid and paratyphoid fever. Gastrointestinal infectious diseases can develop throughout the year, but the high temperature and humidity in the summer, bacteria multiply faster, food is very easy to spoil, plus people drink more water, drink a lot of water to dilute the stomach acid, while the hot weather makes people sweat more, sleep relatively less and other factors, resulting in a decline in human immunity, so that pathogens take advantage of the situation. In addition, a large number of fresh summer fruits and melons on the market, fruits and melons in the growth, picking, transportation, sales process will inevitably be infected with pathogens, especially E. coli, if not cleaned directly to eat, is likely to cause diarrhea and other digestive tract diseases. The leftovers in the refrigerator are stored for a long time, which also creates conditions for germs to multiply. What are the consequences of intestinal diseases in summer 1, cardiovascular accidents This is a complication that can not be ignored when it comes to causing death from acute diarrhea in the elderly. When diarrhea, a large amount of water and sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium ions are discharged from the stool, the loss of water puts the body in a state of dehydration, which reduces the blood volume in the body, leading to increased blood viscosity, slow blood flow, easy to form blood clots and block blood vessels. Coronary artery blockage causes angina pectoris and myocardial infarction; cerebrovascular blockage causes ischemic stroke. Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium is an important cation in the body, in addition to maintaining the blood acid-base balance, has an important role in maintaining nerve conduction function and heartbeat rhythm, the lack of serious heart rhythm disorders and sudden death. 2, will cause hypoglycemia diarrhea, appetite will usually decline and cause insufficient food intake, then it is necessary to break down the body’s storage of liver glycogen to maintain blood sugar stability. When the patient does not have enough liver glycogen storage to convert into blood glucose, the blood glucose in the body will be reduced, and then the patient will have a series of hypoglycemic symptoms such as fatigue, sweating, palpitations, pallor and fainting. When the blood glucose concentration is lower than 3.0 mmol/l (normal blood glucose concentration is 3.9~6.2 mmol/l), mental symptoms or even coma will appear, which can cause sudden death.
