The weather turns cold, this time who does not want to have a warm cup of milk tea into the stomach, to relieve the cold weather? Don’t worry, suffer from this disease, or don’t catch this heat. That’s what I’m going to introduce to the trigeminal neuralgia patients below. Why trigeminal neuralgia can not and milk tea? Actually, it is because patients suffering from this disease should not drink drinks that are too high in sugar. Sugar is a major taboo for trigeminal neuralgia patients, this is because the lack of vitamin b is one of the causes of triggering trigeminal neuralgia, and white sugar not only has zero vitamin content, but also requires the participation of vitamin b in the process of sugar metabolism. So, it makes the vitamin deficiency even more inadequate for trigeminal neuralgia patients who are already deficient in vitamins themselves. This is why a sugar-rich diet is strictly prohibited in trigeminal neuralgia care. Milk tea contains a lot of sugar, and drinking too much of it will not only make the body obese, but may also trigger the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia patients. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink milk tea. In addition, trigeminal neuralgia patients should also avoid the following kinds of things. The beer and liquor in daily life contain a lot of ethanol. After drinking alcohol, ethanol enters the body, not only will stimulate the mucous membrane of the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract, affecting the digestive function, but also penetrate into the blood and reach the brain through blood circulation, stimulating the facial muscles, facial blood vessels and facial nerves, interfering with the normal conduction of neurotransmitters, so it is easy to cause facial muscle spasm. If you like alcohol very much, you can choose alcohol with low alcohol content, such as wine. Drink less coffee Coffee contains a lot of caffeine, which is a central nervous stimulant. Drinking too much or too strong coffee can make the nerves too excited, which can cause facial muscle spasms. It is recommended not to drink more than one cup of coffee per day, and try not to drink strong coffee, you can choose to mix milk and coffee to reduce the excitement effect. The most important thing is that you should not drink too much tea. Drinking too much tea can increase the excitability of the nerves and spasm the small arteries, thus aggravating the facial muscle spasm, and tea also contains caffeine, so try to choose light tea as much as possible. How to prevent trigeminal neuralgia: 1, usually more exercise, strengthen physical exercise, but also to maintain a happy and leisurely spirit, to relieve the emotional problems caused by excessive work pressure, to maintain sufficient sleep and rest time. 2, in terms of diet, middle-aged people should eat more vegetables, such as leeks, spring bamboo shoots, mustard, rape, toon teeth, coriander, marjoram and so on, is conducive to strengthening physical fitness, improve the body’s ability to resist disease. Chinese medicine believes that eating spicy and stimulating things can aggravate the disease, such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, strong tea, chili, curry, scaleless fish, etc., should try to avoid eating or drinking. 3, cold wind, cold water and other stimuli can aggravate facial muscle spasm, so middle-aged people should pay attention to avoid these stimuli, and do a good job of protection when going out. When the seasons change and the weather changes, pay attention to the cold and avoid getting cold. Eating spicy and irritating food often will increase the excitability of the nerves, and people will easily get facial muscle spasm. So to prevent facial muscle spasm, you need to start from controlling the diet, but also more exercise, strengthen the body, and do a good job of daily protection, these can have a preventive effect on trigeminal neuralgia, and trigeminal neuralgia alone from the perspective of prevention is not enough. People who suffer from this disease know that the pain is unbearable once it strikes, so it is still important to treat it. How to treat trigeminal neuralgia: The surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia generally uses microvascular decompression, which is also the most effective and clinically applicable surgical treatment modality. The procedure is performed under microscopic operation to separate the compressed nerve vessels, thus releasing the compression on the nerve root and restoring the normal function of the nerve. Under general anesthesia, a 4-6 cm longitudinal incision is made behind the affected ear and in the hairline, and a cranial hole with a diameter of about 2 cm is opened to enter the pontocerebellar angle under the microscope. Once the responsible vessels are isolated, the source of irritation disappears, and the hyperexcitability of the trigeminal nucleus disappears and returns to normal. In the vast majority of patients, the pain disappears immediately after surgery and normal facial sensation and function are preserved without affecting the quality of life.
