Can chronic gastritis be cured?
Chronic gastritis is generally difficult to cure completely. The current treatment principle is to eliminate the cause, alleviate symptoms, and prevent or reduce the recurrence of the disease. Treatment mainly focuses on protecting the gastric mucosa, suppressing gastric acid secretion, and eradicating Helicobacter pylori infections. Post-treatment care is also very important. It is advisable to eat a diet that is light, soft, and easy to digest, avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods, and steer clear of strong tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages. Engaging in appropriate outdoor exercises and managing emotions also play a positive role in the treatment of chronic gastritis.
How long does acute appendicitis hurt?
The pain associated with appendicitis is directly related to the severity of the inflammation. If the inflammation is mild, pain can be significantly relieved after using antispasmodic analgesics. However, if acute appendicitis leads to a suppurative appendix or perforation, the abdominal pain will last for a very long time, accompanied by signs of peritoneal irritation, such as tenderness and rebound pain in the abdomen. Therefore, the main principle of treating acute appendicitis is to perform surgery to remove the suppurative appendix. Currently, laparoscopic appendectomy is a viable option, as it involves less bleeding and allows for a faster postoperative recovery.
acute gastroenteritis dehydration symptoms
Minor dehydration from acute gastroenteritis can manifest as dry mouth, sunken eye sockets, headache, dizziness, general fatigue, decreased appetite, and loss of skin elasticity. If symptoms worsen, signs of shock may appear, including reduced total blood volume, renal dysfunction, rapid weak pulse, low blood pressure, cold and wet limbs, and reduced or absent urine output. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if dehydration symptoms occur and treat according to the type of dehydration, while actively treating the acute gastroenteritis.
Why does acute gastroenteritis cause dizziness?
Acute gastroenteritis is characterized by symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea. If the diarrhea is severe, there can be significant bodily dehydration, manifesting as fatigue or dizziness. It is important to promptly replenish body fluids and undergo infusion therapy. At the same time, proactive use of antibiotics and antidiarrheal medications is advised. The general treatment period lasts 3-5 days. After recovery, attention should be given to dietary adjustments, incorporating fresh green vegetables. It is advisable to eat some fruit and have meals regularly and in controlled quantities, while reducing consumption of spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Appropriate outdoor exercises should be performed to help regulate gastrointestinal function. (Please follow the doctor's advice regarding medication use.)
Can people with Crohn's disease eat eggplants?
Crohn's disease may present with symptoms such as abdominal pain or diarrhea, and intestinal obstruction. Eggplant can be consumed, but in moderation, as it is not particularly easy to digest. Patients with Crohn's disease have reduced intestinal function, and consuming too much eggplant can increase the burden on the intestines. Generally, during active phases, high-nutrition, low-fat foods should be provided, along with adequate hydration and electrolyte balance. Treatment mainly includes medications and surgeries that provide symptomatic support. Crohn's disease tends to recur frequently and can have a prolonged course. Additionally, it is advisable to consume more vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and yams, while avoiding raw, spicy, and irritating foods.
How many days does it take for a stomach cold to get better?
Gastroenteritis, also known as gastro flu, is caused by inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract which leads to a cold. This condition presents both gastrointestinal and cold symptoms, including nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, runny nose, and general weakness. The primary treatments involve using cold medications and antibiotics. Recovery usually occurs gradually over about a week. During the treatment period, it is crucial to follow a light diet, ensure proper nutrition, get plenty of rest, and drink additional water to stay hydrated.
Does appendicitis cause vomiting?
Appendicitis can cause vomiting. An acute appendicitis attack presents with distinct symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, high fever, nausea, and vomiting. The main reason is the inflammation of the appendix lumen, which reflexively causes vomiting. For appendicitis, once diagnosed, surgery is generally required. Currently, there are two surgical approaches: laparoscopic appendectomy and appendectomy via McBurney's point. Laparoscopic appendectomy is more common and involves less intraoperative bleeding and faster postoperative recovery. Postoperatively, it is important to enhance nursing care by eating more vegetables, drinking plenty of water, and ensuring that stools are softened.
What can stomach cancer patients eat?
Gastric cancer refers to a malignant tumor that occurs in the gastric mucosal epithelium. Special attention should be paid to the diet, appropriately supplementing with multivitamins and consuming more fresh foods, such as fresh green vegetables and fruits. The diet should be diverse to avoid favoring certain foods overly and to ensure the intake of a variety of nutrients. It is also necessary to eat some meat for protein, avoid moldy foods, reduce the consumption of pickled, salted, smoked foods, and those rich in nitrites, and avoid the irritation from strong tea, coffee, and hard liquor. In addition to dietary measures, active treatment for early-stage gastric cancer can include endoscopic mucosal resection, or one may opt for a major gastric resection surgery or radiotherapy, while maintaining a good psychological state and sufficient sleep.
Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage rescue process
First, it is important to address the most life-threatening situations by promptly clearing the airway to prevent blood clots from gastrointestinal bleeding from blocking the bronchi, which can cause choking or asphyxiation. Additionally, it is crucial to timely replenish blood volume, as significant blood loss can directly lead to shock. While combating shock, actively identify the cause of the bleeding. Use a gastroscope for examination, and blood can be stopped under gastroscopy. If it cannot be stopped under gastroscopy, an emergency laparotomy should be performed to carry out a major gastrectomy. Postoperatively, intensive care should be strengthened, actively identifying the cause of gastric bleeding, providing symptomatic treatment, and maintaining regular dietary habits, with meals being on schedule and in fixed amounts.
Precautions for Gastric Ulcer
Patients with gastric ulcers should pay more attention to rest, reduce mental stress, and, moreover, enhance health education, maintain regular eating habits, have meals at fixed times and in fixed amounts, eat less greasy, spicy, and irritating food, strictly abstain from smoking and drinking alcohol, and drink less strong tea, coffee, and other such beverages. Actively use medical treatment, commonly using medications that suppress stomach acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa. To achieve ulcer healing, the course of acid-suppressing medication generally lasts 4 to 6 weeks. One should maintain a relaxed mood, as excessive tension and anxiety can aggravate ulcer symptoms. Through effective medical treatment, the cure rate of peptic ulcers can reach over 95%. Even after healing, strict attention must be paid to dietary habits. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
