The severity of gastric ulcer

One of the serious consequences of gastric ulcer relapse into cancer. If the following conditions should be vigilant.

1. The nature of pain and patterns of change in ulcer pain more performance for the upper abdominal pain, was like burning or dull pain, and pain episodes associated with the consumption, generally in 1 to 2 hours after a meal there, then gradually reduced. If the pain out of these laws, and changes from time to time attack, or a persistent pain, or pain than ever before the nature of significant changes have taken place should be alert for the precursor of cancer.

2. Although the use of anti-ulcer drugs ineffective recurrent ulcer is easy, but usually after taking anti-ulcer drugs, can alleviate the symptoms generally. If you routinely take anti-ulcer drug treatment for some time, the effect becomes obvious, or ineffective, it should be suspected to be a precursor to cancer.

3. Progressive weight loss patients in the short term loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fever and progressive weight loss, then the likelihood of cancer significantly.

4. Occur in the near future patients with hematemesis and melena frequent vomiting or there tarry stools, fecal occult blood test results were positive for sustained and severe anemia, these phenomena show that gastric ulcer may be malignant as cancer.

5. Abdominal mass in gastric ulcer patients are generally not formed abdominal mass, but if cancerous, the ulcer will become large, hard, patients with advanced touch in the left upper abdominal mass. Mass texture, hard, nodular, not smooth, the pressure of pain.

Gastric ulcer patients and their families should pay attention to changes in condition, if it is found to be alert to the clues of a timely go to hospital for examination, identify problems for early treatment and prevention of adverse consequences.

Ulcer diet

Diet therapy is the prevention and treatment an important part of ulcer disease. Patients in the diet should pay attention to the following:

Digestible nutrients should be used to strengthen, with enough energy, protein and vitamin rich food. Such as rice, spaghetti, soft rice, milk, eggs, lean meat, tofu and soy products; rich in vitamins A, B, C of the foods such as fresh vegetables and fruit.

Multi residue limits should avoid eating fried food, fried food and more crude fiber containing celery, chives, bean sprouts, ham, bacon, dried fish and a variety of whole grains. These foods do not digest not only rough, but would cause a large number of secretion of gastric juice and increased the burden on the stomach. But made into purée and other easily digestible food you eat.

Do not eat food forbidden to eat a big irritant to stimulate gastric acid secretion in foods such as broth, raw onions, raw garlic, fruit juice, coffee, wine, tea, etc., and too sweet, too sour, salty, hot, raw, Cold, hard and other food. Sweets can increase gastric acid secretion and stimulate the ulcer worse; hot foods stimulate the ulcers, causing pain, layer to the surface of blood vessels to dilate and cause ulcer bleeding; spicy foods stimulate the ulcer surface, the gastric acid secretion; cold, excellent food is not easy digestion, can be worse. In addition, ulcer patients should stop smoking, the nicotine in tobacco can change the pH of gastric juice, disrupting the normal pyloric activity, induce or aggravate ulcer disease.

To properly cook by steaming, roasting, frying, stewing and other law better. Fried, fried, smoked and other cooked food is not digestible, long residence time in the stomach, affecting the healing of ulcers.

To establish a reasonable system of food rationing food, eat slowly, talk less, do not read newspaper, do not watch TV; to keep thinking of relaxation and cheerful. Ulcer activity in the period to eating liquid or semi-liquid, digestible, nutritious food as well. Scholars ulcer patients previously had developed a system of frequent meals to avoid fullness or hunger. Recent studies suggest that, despite eating may temporarily relieve pain, but small meals often continue to stimulate gastric acid secretion, the gastric acid secretion in active state all day, obviously not conducive to ulcer healing. Therefore, in addition to acute exacerbation of concurrent bleeding, vomiting blood when the short-term small meals often, the usual daily meals should adhere to a regular eating.
