Atrophic gastritis is one of the precancerous lesions of gastric cancer, which is what we call chronic atrophic gastritis. Most patients will have emaciation and fatigue, dull pain in the upper abdomen, glossitis and other symptoms. Although these symptoms are also lack of specificity, it is better to go to the hospital in time if these symptoms appear at the same time in a short time. However, this will also cause the worry of the confirmed patients: Will atrophic gastritis really become cancerous? In fact, this is not absolute, because canceration is the result of various special circumstances, and the possibility that precancerous lesions really turn into cancer is relatively low.
If patients don't want to get worse, they should not only cooperate with doctors, take relevant drugs on time, go to the hospital for regular check-ups, but also learn to keep in good health. It is often said that stomach trouble depends on treatment for three points and maintenance for seven points, which makes sense. Mastering the correct health care methods can often get twice the result with half the effort and improve the chances of rehabilitation.
1. Relax
Most patients will become very depressed after being diagnosed with atrophic gastritis, and even think that they have cancer every day, so that they are immersed in pessimism such as anxiety, negativity and depression all day. However, emotions are closely related to human health. Positive emotions will help to improve the condition, while negative emotions will accelerate the deterioration of the condition and increase the possibility of change. Therefore, patients must maintain an optimistic psychological state and give themselves more positive psychological hints. Family members and doctors should also help patients with psychological adjustment, try their best to help them divert their attention, make them more cheerful and sunny, and have more courage to fight the disease.
2. Avoid irritating the gastric mucosa.
In daily life, people with common chronic gastritis will feel uncomfortable in the stomach if they eat cold and irritating food, not to mention atrophic gastritis. The gastric mucosa of patients with atrophic gastritis is much thinner than that of ordinary people, and the epithelium and glands of gastric mucosa will shrink to varying degrees, which is more unbearable to any external stimulus. Therefore, patients should never use any irritating food, such as cold food, hot food, spicy, indigestible and ground coarse grains. These foods will increase the workload of gastric mucosa, which is naturally harmful to the body. In addition, patients must also check the instructions before taking other drugs to see if the ingredients will stimulate the gastric mucosa. For example, commonly used cold medicines such as aspirin and ibuprofen will damage the gastric mucosa and should be included in the fasting list.
3. Develop good eating habits
Nowadays, many young people suffer from stomach diseases because of irregular diet and unhealthy. Patients with atrophic gastritis should pay special attention to diet. Only by developing good eating habits can we reduce the possibility of getting sick. Fried food, smoked food, pickled food and moldy food can all induce cancer, so these foods are absolutely inedible. Patients can appropriately add some warm and digestible fresh fruits and vegetables to their diet, and they must chew slowly. The food can only be swallowed after being fully chewed in the mouth, so as not to bring more digestive burden to the gastrointestinal tract. Not only that, patients with atrophic gastritis must quit smoking and drinking, and can't drink strong tea, coffee and other stimulating drinks. Although the above requirements may be difficult to achieve, it is the correct way for patients with atrophic gastritis to keep in good health. Only by keeping your mouth shut can you avoid getting worse.
Proper exercise is very important.
Life lies in exercise. Patients often do some exercise. First of all, it can effectively improve their immunity and physical strength. Secondly, exercise can make people more active and help patients keep a good mood. But don't overdo it and don't do dangerous sports. It is good to do some simple indoor exercises, such as yoga and aerobic exercise.
In fact, atrophic gastritis is not as terrible as you think. As long as you can cooperate with doctors, do gastroscopy and pathological examination regularly, and cooperate with the correct way of keeping in good health, you can effectively reduce the chance of change. And don't be afraid of medical treatment. After all, atrophic gastritis is only a precancerous lesion, which does not mean that we really have cancer. This process is not irreversible. We should believe in the skills of doctors, the achievements of modern medical research, and that we can successfully get through this and usher in a new life. # Health Guardian # # Health Science Competition #
