Symptoms of stomach ulcers and its prevention.

Symptoms of stomach ulcers can be divided into two large groups - general and local. In this case, we refer to the general symptoms of ulcerative disease of a nonspecific character (not gastric). During the formation of the patient's illness, weakness, headache, worsening of mood and decreased efficiency are disturbed. Such patients become nervous and irritated, they are not pleased with anything and do not bring pleasure.

The first specific symptom that characterizes the stomach ulcer is pain. Symptoms of stomach ulcers are quite diverse, but only the pain is isolated by all patients with ulcers. The fact is that it is this symptom that does not rest day nor night. Pain syndrome with stomach ulcer can be quite intense. The pain is cutting-noisy. In the initial period, she worries patients after a few hours after eating and at night, and then she can have a permanent character. Such a time interval between attacks is due to the fact that through this time the food is evacuated from the stomach and the ulcer seems to be exposed, which means that it is increasingly exposed to hydrochloric acid. The acid begins to corrode the defect and affect the nerve endings - there is pain. Pain syndrome with a stomach ulcer is often confused with heart pain or pain in pancreatitis, so it requires accurate differential diagnosis.

Symptoms of stomach ulcers do not appear the same in all patients, but if there is pain, this is what causes people to see a doctor. The first signs of a stomach ulcer can be somewhat erased and veiled, but when pain occurs, you can not wait. Symptoms of stomach ulcers can be dyspeptic. The patients are worried about eructations, heaviness in the stomach, bloating and stools.

Among all varieties of ulcers, there are so-called "mute" ulcers. The clinical picture of such ulcers is very "sluggish", and sometimes completely absent. However, their danger lies in the fact that they can quickly malignify themselves (degenerate into malignant formation) or become complicated (bleeding, perforation, penetration, etc.).

It is possible that patients do not receive adequate treatment and bleeding occurs. This situation requires urgent surgical measures. In most cases, peptic ulcer is well-controlled medication. However, some time ago the stomach ulcer was treated only surgically. At the same time, the results of treatment in our time are much better than before.

Prevention of gastric ulcer is primarily in adequate nutrition. Firstly, you should eat at least 5 times a week first meals. It is necessary to switch to diet food with minimal consumption of fatty and fried foods. It is best to cook food for a couple (in a double boiler), the first dishes should be cooked not on rich broths. To introduce into your diet more cereals in milk (not viscous). Food should be divided into intervals with meals between two or three hours (not more). It is better to eat less, but more often (so the stomach is easier to work).

It is necessary to refrain from alcohol and smoking (sometimes you can, but only expensive varieties of wine - they are useful). Do not eat too hot food or drinks - they hurt the stomach mucosa. And, of course, do not get carried away with half-finished products and fast food, since it contains a large number of additives and preservatives.

Exclude from the diet acute spices and sauces, as well as liquid smoke and other synthetic products - they are the main carcinogens. Every housewife should know that oil or frying can not be used again - when reheating, carcinogenic substances are formed there . Eat more green vegetables, fruits and natural meat - and your life will be safe.
