Autumn is the season of alternating heat and cold, and once the cold dew is over, the climate is unpredictable, so if you don’t pay attention to daily maintenance, some diseases will take advantage of the situation, and gastrointestinal disease is one of them. At this time, the hospital gastroenterology outpatient volume will be a peak, in which the majority of patients with gastric distension, stomach pain, diarrhea.
Gastrointestinal diseases are common, and people who are slightly uncomfortable will go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine to deal with it. If you don’t diagnose them, you may get heavier and heavier, and you may have trouble with the regular treatment later.
In order to help you pass through the “eventful autumn”, the following is a simple way to distinguish common gastrointestinal diseases in autumn and their prevention and treatment knowledge.
Disease 1: Peptic ulcer Periodic epigastric pain
Symptom characteristics: rhythmic, periodic epigastric pain Peptic ulcer mainly refers to gastric and duodenal ulcers. The ulcer disease is manifested by upper abdominal pain with certain rhythmicity and periodicity. For example, the epigastric pain of patients with gastric ulcer usually appears one hour after eating and is relieved about four hours after meal, showing the rhythm of eating→comfort→pain→comfort; the epigastric pain of patients with duodenal ulcer often appears when they are hungry, which is called “hunger pain”, and the pain is relieved after eating and appears again before the next meal, showing the rhythm of pain→eating→comfort→pain. The rhythm of pain → eating → comfort → pain. Other symptoms of ulcer disease include acid reflux, bloating, belching, nausea, vomiting, etc. In severe cases, gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation may occur, and long-term gastric ulcers may also become cancerous.
Whenever the seasons change, such as autumn to winter and winter to spring, in emergency situations, the gastric mucosa is easily damaged, thus causing bleeding, and the number of patients with peptic bleeding has increased as a result. Therefore, it is important to be vigilant on a daily basis, pay attention to a reasonable diet and keep warm.
Prevention and treatment strategies: reasonable diet and regular medication A reasonable diet is the basis for the prevention and treatment of ulcer disease, ulcer disease patients should be regular and quantitative in their diet, eat less and more meals. It is advisable to eat soft and easily digestible food and avoid spicy, irritating, fried or hard, indigestible food.
The improvement of symptoms is not equal to the healing of ulcers. Patients with ulcer disease cannot stop taking medication because of pain relief, which may lead to recurrence of the disease. Mental stress and depression can also trigger or aggravate ulcer disease. In addition, more outdoor activities to maintain a relaxed mood.
Disease 2: Functional dyspepsia with early satiety symptoms
Symptom characteristics:Acid reflux, belching, loss of appetite, etc. Functional dyspepsia is a disease involving multiple factors, such as gastrointestinal tract motor incoordination, psychological factors and environmental factors.
Functional dyspepsia is mainly manifested as a series of non-specific symptoms, such as chronic intermittent epigastric pain, early satiety, postprandial fullness, belching, acid reflux and loss of appetite, etc. Gastroscopy shows no obvious lesions or only mild gastritis.
Prevention and treatment strategies:Symptomatic treatment and daily health care are available for those with functional dyspepsia of the gastric motility disorder with fullness, belching, and loss of appetite as the main manifestations, and some motivational drugs are available. For those with acid reflux and heartburn as the main manifestations, a combination of prokinetic drugs, acid suppressants and acid suppressants should be used for treatment. If anxiety and depression are obvious, appropriate application of anti-anxiety or anti-depressant drugs can effectively improve the discomfort symptoms.
Disease 3: Irritable bowel syndrome easily confused with colitis
Symptom characteristics: abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation and other irritable bowel syndrome is most common in autumn when climate change or intestinal infectious diseases are prevalent, with abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort and changes in stool habits as the main features, and persistent treatment.
The majority of patients with irritable bowel syndrome are young and middle-aged, and generally speaking, there is no fixed treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. In general, there is no fixed treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. For patients, besides cooperating with doctors for medication, it is very important to pay attention to life conditioning. Life conditioning includes: change the bad lifestyle; don’t be overly nervous and anxious, keep the mood relaxed; have a reasonable diet structure, drink more water; eat less watermelon, cold drinks, fried food and overnight food that can easily cause diarrhea; eat some spleen-strengthening foods, such as yam and red dates.
Most irritable bowel syndrome is easily misdiagnosed and mistreated as colitis, how to distinguish between these two diseases? The method is simple, experienced doctors can know by consulting patients with or without pus and blood stools, another way is through colonoscopy.
Disease 4: Acute gastroenteritis, “the big remedy” needs to be postponed
The symptoms are characterized by abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting Acute gastroenteritis is mainly caused by food poisoning or other factors, such as eating food containing pathogenic bacteria and toxins, such as eating unclean cooked food, rancid food, etc. It can also be caused by craving cold drinks or overeating, resulting in gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Acute gastroenteritis is mainly manifested as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea 3-5 times a day or even dozens of times, the stool is mostly watery, dark yellow or greenish, foul-smelling, can be accompanied by fever, and in severe cases can lead to shock.

b, the amount of diet: the amount of diet has a lot to do with the workload and burden of the stomach, try to eat a small number of meals, eat regularly.

Gastrointestinal disease general five desirable guidelines.
1, it is advisable to slow. Chewing slowly can reduce the stimulation of rough food on the gastric mucosa.
2, appropriate section. Diet should be rhythmic, do not overeat and eat at random times.
3, should be clean. Pay attention to dietary hygiene, to eliminate the infringement of external microorganisms on the gastric mucosa.
4, should be fine. Try to eat more fine, easy to digest, nutritious food.

Be careful with four types of drugs.
1, antipyretic and analgesic drugs: such as aspirin, paracetamol, sodium salicylate, painkillers, etc.. These drugs have a good antipyretic effect, but have a strong stimulating effect on the gastric mucosa. Therefore, people with a history of stomach problems should not take such drugs when they have a cold and fever. Physical cooling and proprietary Chinese medicine can be used to reduce fever.
2, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs: commonly used in the treatment of arthritis and other painful diseases, there is a strong irritation and damage to the gastric mucosa. The common ones are anti-inflammatory pain, ibuprofen, fenbid, inflammation and pain Xikang, etc. Therefore, when suffering from gastric disease and must take the drug, half an hour after meals or with gastric mucosa protector, such as stomach discomfort should be promptly discontinued and symptomatic treatment.
3, glucocorticoids: with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, widely used clinically, but it can induce or aggravate ulcer disease, and even cause bleeding or perforation. The common ones are prednisone, cortisone, de-inflammatory pine, dexamethasone, etc.
4, anti-cancer drugs and antibiotics: certain antibiotics such as erythromycin, cotrimoxazole tablets and anti-cancer drugs such as cyclophosphamide and 5-fluorouracil can cause damage to the gastric mucosa and should be used correctly under the guidance of a doctor.
In short, as the temperature gradually decreases, the temperature difference between day and night, the human body is stimulated by “autumn cold”, gastric acid secretion increases a lot to stimulate the gastric mucosa, gastrointestinal spasmodic contraction, resistance is weakened, and the weather turns cooler, many people eat more, the burden of gastrointestinal function increased, coupled with irregular diet and stay up late and other bad habits, resulting in The high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases in autumn. Therefore, we must pay attention to gastrointestinal care in autumn and winter. Try to stop eating cold dishes, chilled drinks and other foods, and patients with gastrointestinal diseases should pay more attention to diet and life.
