The emergence of gastric disease is closely related to bad living habits, in addition to Helicobacter pylori and drugs are the main causes. People with chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric polyps, pernicious anemia, post-gastrectomy and family history are at high risk of gastric cancer, and regular gastroscopy is recommended, preferably once a year. The emergence of gastric disease is closely related to bad living habits, in addition to Helicobacter pylori and drugs are the main triggers. Because of this, the incidence of gastric disease mainly covers adults, and in recent years there is a trend towards younger people. Helicobacter pylori was discovered by two Australian scientists in 1979. This bacterium can cause damage to the gastric mucosa, inflammation and ulcers. Although H. pylori is an important factor in gastric disease, it is not the only factor. H. pylori is a “food bacterium” that is highly contagious and is most commonly transmitted by mouth-to-mouth or fecal-to-oral transmission. In other words, if you eat out, if the restaurant’s dishes are not up to standard, or if one of the people eating the same dish is infected with H. pylori, it can lead to the transmission of the germ. Bad habits Nowadays, young people work from 9am to 5pm, many times when they go to work are eating fast food, unbalanced nutrition, some food is not at all nourishing stomach, hygiene is not guaranteed, it is easy to cause gastric disease. In addition, young people have a frequent nightlife, less than the early morning restlessness, although young, but the human biological clock disorder, so long-term, it is easy to aggravate the digestive system dysfunction. In addition, there are tobacco and alcohol, stimulating food can induce gastrointestinal diseases. Some drugs cause stomach problems Some drugs can cause stomach problems, such as heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, the need for long-term use of aspirin, but it can also cause chronic gastritis, bleeding and other symptoms. Patients can change the dosage form according to their health condition. Smaller doses of aspirin may be safer. After the cardiologist prescribes aspirin, then go to a gastroenterologist for advice, for fear of harm to the stomach, the doctor can start you on some preventive medicine. Some people even suggest a H. pylori test at this time, and if it is positive, killing the bacteria first may cause less damage to the stomach. It is worth noting that perennial stomach problems that do not improve, together with some bad eating habits, can accelerate the possibility of cancer. If symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort, vague pain in the heart fossa, feeling of fullness after eating, loss of appetite and weight loss, frequent vomiting of overnight food and gastric juice without bile, and black tarry stools occur, you should seek medical examination early. People with chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric polyp and pernicious anemia, post-gastrectomy and family history are at high risk of gastric cancer, and regular gastroscopy is recommended, preferably once a year.
