Summer gastrointestinal diseases, high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, learn these tricks to "reduce burden" to the gastrointestinal and intestines

The weather is hot in summer. Some people like to drink and drink beer while eating barbecue, and some people like to drink cold drinks and blow air conditioners. These will stimulate the stomach.

"The incidence of gastrointestinal diseases in summer has increased significantly." He Liang, deputy chief physician of the gastrointestinal gastrointestinal surgery at Baihunen First Hospital of Jilin University, introduced in an interview with the People's Daily Online that the main symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases include bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal pain Or constipation, severe acute gastroenteritis patients will also have dehydration and shock.

He Liang said that many gastrointestinal diseases are related to "cold" in summer. On the one hand, over -intake of cold drinks and cold food. In summer, the body is hot. In order to distribute heat, the body's skin and blood vessels are expanding, and the blood flow increases. Therefore, the decrease in blood flow into the gastrointestinal tract has caused the gastrointestinal tract resistance to decrease. After the human body consumes cold drinks and cold food, the gastrointestinal blood vessels are contracted cold, and the blood flow will be further reduced, which will once again reduce the gastrointestinal resistance. Excessive foods and drinks may also cause abnormal gastrointestinal motility, cause gastrointestinal spasm, and cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.

On the other hand, the excessive use of air conditioners and fans. Especially at night, if the abdomen is exposed to a relatively low temperature environment for a long time, the loss of heat will cause the gastrointestinal temperature to be relatively low and slow down its peristalsis. Poor food in the gastrointestinal tract may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and abdominal distension. In severe cases, acute gastroenteritis may occur.

"As the saying goes,‘ disease enters from the mouth ’. Many gastrointestinal diseases are related to 'eating' in summer." He Liang said that summer is hot, flies are active, microorganisms are accelerated, and food is vulnerable to pollution. Diet is an important cause of gastrointestinal diseases, which can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, blood in the stool, and even dehydration, shock, etc.

"Eating too much and too mixed food can also cause gastrointestinal diseases. In the case of weakening gastrointestinal function, if you eat a lot of continuous food, it will cause gastrointestinal empty discharge discharge, cause 'accumulation' phenomenon, cause abdominal distension and abdominal pain, abdominal pain , Constipation, etc. "He Liang reminded.

He Liang suggested that in the summer, to prevent gastrointestinal diseases, you must develop good dietary hygiene habits; keep a light diet, cold drinks and cold food intake should be controlled; do not be too low when using air conditioning, especially avoid cold during sleep. At the same time, pay attention to the ventilation of the living room, keep the air fresh, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance the ability to resist disease.
