Young women who do not dare to eat fruit

  Zhang Xiaobei is very young, and if she didn’t say so, you would never guess that she is 28 years old, married and has children. Recently she was admitted to our hospital. Her pretty face was frowning with worry, “My biggest trouble is that I have bad stomach and intestines, always having diarrhea. I have never eaten fruit for so many years. Recently lost more than 10 pounds, worried that I’m going to die thin, doctor do you think I can still be cured ah?”  Six years ago, Zhang Xiaobei got pregnant by accident, and at that time, there was still an open second child, so she and her husband decided to abort. Zhang Xiaobei was very nervous before the operation, but the cesarean section went well. But after the surgery, Zhang Xiaobei always felt pain and discomfort in the joints of her limbs, and often had diarrhea, which was even worse when she ate some fruit. Zhang Xiaobei then went to the local hospital to see a doctor. I can’t remember what the diagnosis was, but I was prescribed two kinds of western medicine, which really worked – people were not so worried, and they were more comfortable. After taking the medicine for half a year, the doctor said she was well enough to stop taking the medicine. But the diarrhea has not been completely healed. Zhang Xiaobei was so stressed that she was careful about what she ate. She tried to eat fruit, but when she ate it, she had diarrhea and didn’t dare to touch it again.  Five months ago, Zhang Xiaobei gave birth to her second child by cesarean section, postpartum gastrointestinal discomfort aggravated, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, the local hospital diagnosed “acute gastroenteritis”, anti-inflammatory infusion after some good, but still often diarrhea, stomach distress, can not eat. Zhang Xiaobei thought, “After being sick for so long, is it not going to get better, will it die? He went to several hospitals, did many tests but nothing abnormal, Chinese medicine and western medicine have eaten, but there is still no effect. Then the local doctor said you should go to the seventh hospital in Hangzhou to see it. Zhang Xiaobei came to our hospital with a last ray of hope.  Through detailed medical history, I understood that Zhang Xiaobei is an anxious personality – she worries and thinks a lot about the slightest thing. The two previous surgeries made her even more worried and nervous. All the tests were fine and showed that she did not have any physical illness. I diagnosed her with “anxiety disorder” and gave her outpatient medication. But Zhang Xiaobei was so worried that after taking the medicine for two days, she felt a little bit uncomfortable in her stomach and was afraid to eat.  At my suggestion, Zhang Xiaobei agreed to be hospitalized. We gave her regular medication and psychological treatment, and at the beginning of the treatment phase, Zhang Xiaobei was still very upset, always feeling diarrhea, and a little discomfort in her abdomen scared her enough to keep asking the doctor if she could get well. Gradually the medication took effect, Zhang Xiaobei’s condition gradually improved, the number of stomach discomfort less and less, more and more smiles on his face. I told Zhang Xiaobei that you can eat fruit. Zhang Xiaobei said nervously, “Dr. Yin, I’m satisfied with what I’m doing, I don’t dare to eat fruit, I’m afraid of diarrhea. I encouraged her repeatedly, and she started to eat some fruits carefully. After two weeks of hospitalization, Zhang Xiaobei was discharged from the hospital.  A few days ago, Zhang Xiaobei came to the outpatient clinic for a follow-up prescription. I asked her how she was doing. “Now I’m all better, I can eat any fruit, haha,” Zhang Xiaobei said happily, smiling like a flower.  Zhang Xiaobei has anxiety disorder, and this type of patient can show many physical symptoms. In Zhang Xiaobei’s case, it is mainly the digestive system: poor appetite, nausea, diarrhea. There are also muscular symptoms: joint pains and vegetative symptoms: dry mouth, bitter mouth and sweating. There is also insomnia. Patients tend to pay attention to physical discomfort and ignore emotional problems, while constantly visiting general hospitals, while doing a lot of tests without doing anything, taking a lot of drugs without effect, and spending a lot of money without return. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaobei finally found the right hospital and found a happy life.
