Stomach pain

"Stomach pain" is a very common symptom, so it is often overlooked. In fact, there are many diseases that cause "stomach pain", and some are still very serious.

There are two types of stomach pain

One is caused by anxiety and anxiety, liver dysfunction, and inversion of the stomach, so the main treatment method is to relieve liver and regulate qi. One is caused by spleen unhealthy movement, stomach loss and lowering. It is advisable to use Wentong and Buzhong methods to restore the function of the spleen and stomach. There are many causes of stomach pain, including excessive work stress, eating irregularly, working or exercising immediately after eating, drinking too much alcohol, eating too much spicy food, and eating indigestible foods. There may be several factors for stomach pain, but most are caused by acid reflux. That is, the liquid originally in the stomach flows back into the esophagus. These digestive fluids contain hydrochloric acid (hydrochloric acid), which is a corrosive substance used industrially to clean metals. Although the stomach has a protective film against gastric acid attack, however. The esophagus lacks this protective layer. Therefore, when gastric acid is refluxed into the esophagus, it can cause burning, sometimes severe enough that you think it is a heart attack. The most common cause of stomach pain is eating and drinking, but this is not the only reason. Some people do not overeating but also suffer from stomach pain. In fact, stomach cramps have nothing to do with food. Most of them are caused by mental reasons, and anger, nervousness, and stress can cause stomach cramps. The stomach is one of the most important digestive organs in our body. Under normal conditions, it should be constantly peristaltic and grind the food sent down the esophagus. If its peristalsis is abnormal, it will hinder digestion and absorption, causing excess gas to accumulate and form stomach gas. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this condition "stagnation." When the stomach is stagnant, the food you eat cannot be ground in real time and sent to the intestine, so you are forced to stay in the stomach. The semi-processed food will arbitrarily ferment and odor, forming a sour rot smell, that is, breath. Symptoms of bloating. When an ulcer appears in the stomach, Helicobacter pylori will parasitize the wound, which often causes inflammation of the ulcer. Even if the drug is used to kill the bacteria, if the eating habits are not changed, the ulcer will still feel pain from time to time.

In addition, Chinese medicine regards people as a whole, and the internal organs affect each other. If the liver is overheated, it will affect the secretion of gastric juice. According to the five elements theory, the liver is wood, the spleen is soil, and wood is soil. Therefore, the liver and fire can cause the stomach to overheat and discomfort. 1. Liver qi offends stomach anxiety, qi stagnation, liver dysfunction, liver dysfunction, dysregulation, transversal guilty offense, blockage of the ventilator, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and stomach epigastric headache. As Shen Jinyi said, "Stomach disease, dry stomach disease Also. However, the liver gas phase multiplication is even more so. It is woody and violent, and it is positive. "If the qi stagnates the fire, it can cause pain; if the fire stagnates for a long time, it causes liver and stomach yin loss, and the course of the disease is lingering. If there is a long pain in the network, and the veins are damaged, see emesis, blood in the stool, etc. 2. The diet is not overeating or overeating cold and fat products, which causes injury to the spleen and stomach, stagnation in food, and unfavorable air conditioning, which causes stomach pain. Or due to cold and cold injury, the stomach yang is restrained, the right and the evil are fighting, and the stomach pain is caused. 3 After the spleen and stomach weakness disease, the spleen and stomach are damaged or the corpus spleen and stomach are weak, and the yang is weak, and the cold is endogenous, so that the spleen is not transported, the stomach is lost, and the pain occurs. Gastric yin deficiency or chronic yin injury, stomach loss of support, stomach discomfort can also cause pain. The above-mentioned etiology can cause diseases alone and often affect each other. When there is a syndrome of cold and heat, miscellaneous reality, and yin and yang damage, it must be grasped flexibly when it is used.

Stomachache examination

1. Gastric fluid analysis: Chronic atrophic gastritis, often has obstacles to gastric acid secretion, especially when chronic atrophic gastritis of the stomach body is the most severe.

2. Exfoliated cell examination of the stomach is a simpler method of diagnosis. Under direct vision of the gastroscope, brushing cells in the stomach for suspicious cytology examinations is helpful for differential diagnosis.

3. Serum parietal cell antibody test Serum gastrin determination: Most gastritis gastritis, serum parietal cell antibody is often positive, and serum gastrin is mostly elevated. In contrast, gastric antral gastritis is usually negative for serum parietal cell antibodies, and serum gastrin is decreased.

4. Gastroscopy and biopsy: Gastroscopy combined with biopsy under direct vision is the main method for the diagnosis of chronic gastritis. Superficial gastritis is usually the most obvious in the gastric antrum, most of which are diffuse. The surface of the gastric mucosa changes in red and white or patterns, sometimes scattered erosion, often with white or yellow-white exudate. The mucosa of atrophic gastritis is mostly pale or grayish white, and the wrinkled wall becomes thinner or flattened. As the gastric mucosa becomes thinner, the submucosal blood vessels can be seen in purple-blue, and the lesions can be diffuse or mainly in the gastric antrum ^[2] .
