I believe that many people are not unfamiliar with stomach diseases, such as indigestion, gastritis, gastric ulcer, etc.. According to statistics, the incidence of gastric disease in the population is as high as 80%. Because of the pressure of life, work and study that modern people are subjected to, they often stay up late, three meals are unpredictable, a full meal and a hungry meal, which over time will lead to gastric disease. However, many people feel that small problems do not need to be overly nervous, just take some pills on it. In fact, a small stomach disease hides a big worry, which may lead to stomach cancer if it accumulates over time. Therefore, we should pay attention to it.
Bad habits induce disease “favor”.
The occurrence of gastric cancer is related to increased work pressure and bad lifestyles. These bad lifestyles mainly include enjoying burning, baking, frying, deep-frying, smoked food and hot food, irregular meals, overeating, smoking, high-salt diet and pickled food such as kimchi; low protein and fresh vegetables and fruits intake, etc. These bad habits are undoubtedly more reflected in young people.
Irregular diet. Many young people or due to heavy academic workload, or due to busy work and other reasons to develop a bad habit of not eating breakfast, hungry a full meal or overeating, which can cause stomach stimulation and injury.
Smoking and drinking. Smoking and drinking alcohol can also increase the risk of stomach cancer. Tobacco and tobacco smoke contain many carcinogens and carcinogenic substances, such as benzo(a)pyrene, phenolic compounds, dimethylnitrosamines and radioactive elements. Although alcohol itself is not a carcinogenic substance, strong wine will stimulate the gastric mucosa, damage the mucosal tissue and enhance the absorption of carcinogenic substances, and it will be more harmful if you drink alcohol and smoke at the same time.
Eating too sour and astringent fruits on an empty stomach. When fasting, eating persimmons, pineapples and other fruits containing strong acid or tannic acid will easily cause gastric juice and acid to form stones.
Drink soda and coffee often. Soda itself is not harmful to the stomach, but too much or too cold will stimulate the stomach; coffee will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, leading to indigestion and acidity, people with stomach ulcers and heartburn symptoms must be cautious.
Often eat leftovers or expired food. Leftover food left over time will breed bacteria and produce a lot of nitrites, which will be converted into strong carcinogenic nitrosamines in the body, expired or even moldy food, Aspergillus or aflatoxin can also induce stomach cancer, and certain fungi can produce carcinogenic mycotoxins under the right conditions.
Often eat processed meat products. In order to prolong the shelf life of sausages, too many preservatives are added, which increase the risk of cancer; processed meat products such as cured meat and smoked fish contain a large amount of nitrite, which can easily form carcinogens in the human body, which is also an important reason for the high incidence of stomach cancer in coastal areas of China and Japan. Swedish scientists found that every 30 grams increase in the daily intake of processed meat products, the chance of stomach cancer increases by 15% to 38%.
Frequent late nights and late night snacking. The most common point is that young people like to stay up late, and when they stay up late, they naturally develop the habit of eating late night snacks often, which is very harmful. Japanese scholar Professor Hideo Kurita found through long-term research that frequent late-night snacking is prone to stomach cancer. After a survey on the diet of people in the age group of 30-40 years old, it was found that among gastric cancer patients, those with irregular dinner time accounted for 38,4%.
Frequent high-intensity work. Young people are busy with work and irregular life, often eat hungry and full meals, and sometimes skip breakfast; sometimes overeat; in order to catch up with time, they gobble up meals; they are too full, which increases the burden of the stomach and intestines; they are addicted to hot pot and “hot and spicy hot”, etc., which provide a “good” ground for the development of stomach cancer. All these provide a “good” ground for the development of stomach cancer.
Therefore, young people are advised to change their bad habits, and at the same time, if they have chronic atrophic gastritis, chronic gastric ulcer, gastric polyps and other underlying gastric diseases, they should have regular gastroscopy for follow-up and timely intervention of precancerous lesions.
Early detection of stomach cancer symptoms.
To kill gastric cancer in the cradle, the most crucial thing is early prevention and early detection.
1. Hollow pain in the heart fossa, which is not tense and tolerable, not related to eating, and easily manifested in silent sustenance.
2, epigastric fullness, this thought is more obvious when eating, usually into a small amount of food is fullness, the patient no longer want to eat, and often accompanied by belching and nausea. Because of its location under or to the right of the glabella, it may occasionally be misdiagnosed as gallbladder disease.
3. Anorexia, especially anorexia of meat, especially fatty meat, is present in about 50% of patients who used to love fatty meat and now suddenly hate it. As a result of eating less and anorexia, the patient can lose weight quickly in a short period of time.
4, some patients can also have black stool environment in the early stage. This is because the lesion has destroyed the small blood vessels. The above minor symptoms are often mistaken for chronic gastritis and fail to attract the attention of patients and doctors, so people above the age of 40 who suddenly develop the above symptoms should be examined in time for early detection and early treatment.
5. Early manifestation is upper abdominal discomfort, about 80% of patients have this manifestation, and nearly 50% of gastric cancer patients have obvious loss of appetite or loss of appetite. Lack of energy, low back pain and nausea, vomiting and difficulty in eating may appear in late stage. In case of tumor surface ulceration, blood vomiting and black stool may appear.
Early diagnosis is more beneficial to treatment.
1. Physical signs. In early stage, there are no special signs, but in late stage, epigastric masses, rectal finger diagnosis can be seen, enlarged left supraclavicular lymph nodes, and cachexia such as anemia, emaciation and ascites. This is one of the diagnosis methods of gastric cancer.
2. Laboratory examination is also the diagnosis method of gastric cancer. Early suspected gastric cancer, low free gastric acid or lack of it, such as decreased red blood cell pressure, hemoglobin, red blood cells, fecal occult blood (+). Low total hemoglobin, white/bulb inversion, etc. Water-electrolyte disorders, acid-base balance imbalance and other laboratory abnormalities.
3, X-ray performance of gas-barium dual imaging can clearly show the stomach outline, peristaltic situation, mucosal morphology, emptying time, the presence of filling defects, niche shadow, etc.. The accuracy rate of examination is nearly 80%.
4. Fiber endoscopy is the most direct, accurate and effective method to diagnose gastric cancer.
The key to prevention is to control the mouth.
1. Eat less or no pickles.
Pickles contain a large amount of nitrite and secondary amines, which can synthesize nitrosamines under the action of suitable acidity or bacteria in the stomach, and these compounds are strong carcinogenic substances. So the food should be fresh, and advocate refrigerator refrigeration.
2. Do not eat or eat less smoked and fried food.
Smoked fish and bacon contain a large amount of carcinogenic substances such as 3-4 benzopyrene and cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Fried, baked, burnt food and reused high temperature cooking oil also contain such carcinogenic substances and should be consumed sparingly.
3. Do not eat moldy food.
Moldy food is often encountered in daily life, and mold is caused by contaminated mold, some of which are toxic fungi and are strong carcinogens.
4. Non-smoking and less alcohol consumption.
Smoking has a certain relationship with stomach cancer. Smoke contains benzo(a)pyrene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dibenzocarbazole and other carcinogenic or pro-carcinogenic substances, which is one of the causes of esophageal cancer and stomach cancer. Although alcohol itself is not a carcinogenic substance, strong alcohol can stimulate the gastric mucosa, damage the mucosal tissue and promote the absorption of carcinogenic substances, and it is more harmful if drinking alcohol and smoking at the same time. Alcohol can enhance the permeability of cell membranes and thus strengthen the absorption of carcinogenic substances in smoke.
5. To develop good eating habits.
If the diet is not regular and quantitative, overeating, eating too fast and too hot, it is a damaging stimulus to the stomach and has a certain relationship with the occurrence of stomach cancer. At the same time, high salt intake and boredom during meals are also related to stomach cancer.
6. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
Eat more food containing vitamin a, b and e and strengthen protein intake appropriately to protect gastric mucosa.
Because contaminated water sources contain many kinds of cancer-causing metal ions, make sure to use regular tap water and try to use well water in rural areas.
7. Actively treat precancerous lesions.
Atrophic gastritis is closely related to gastric cancer and is a precancerous lesion; gastric ulcer malignant gastric cancer accounts for 5-10%; gastric polyadenomatous polyps are more common than single polyps, and polyps with a diameter of more than 2cm show a tendency to malignant transformation; pernicious anemia is also related to gastric cancer. Therefore, people who suffer from atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric polyadenomatous polyp and pernicious anemia must go to hospital frequently for examination and treatment to eliminate precancerous lesions and prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer.
Warm reminder.
Spring Festival is coming, and at the end of the year, friends gather and visit friends and relatives without fail to eat and drink a lot. We should pay attention to proper diet when celebrating.
