With the arrival of winter, the temperature gradually drops, many people begin to feel the distress of stomach cold, and more and more people are guilty of gastrointestinal diseases. It not only brings discomfort to people's bodies, but also affects the quality of life.

Recently, the hospital received a patient whose symptoms revealed to us what is not to be underestimated about the cold stomach in winter.
The patient, Mr. Zhang (pseudonym), is about 50 years old, has a strong body, loves sports, and eats regularly. However, since the beginning of winter, he has frequently had diarrhea, accompanied by occasional bloating, and also has symptoms of knee pain, especially after eating food in the refrigerator or slightly unclean food, and diarrhea continues. In the early days, Mr. Zhang self-medicated berberine, and his symptoms were temporarily relieved, but recently he found that the effect of the drug was becoming less and less obvious, so he decided to come to the hospital for a detailed examination.
After gastrointestinal endoscopy, Mr. Zhang was found to have colitis, and the doctor pointed out that Mr. Zhang's symptoms were related to gastrointestinal deficiency and cold.
As the saying goes, nine out of ten stomach diseases are cold, of which the cold refers to the stomach cold, that is, the stomach is attacked by the cold, but the cold is also divided into internal and external, the external cold mainly refers to the weather turning cold, or long-term air conditioning and the invasion of the cold evil, the internal cold mainly refers to the stomach cold caused by unclean diet or weak constitution, so that the spleen and stomach are not nourished.
"In Mr. Zhang's case, the symptoms of his stomach cold were both external factors – the cold climate in winter and the cold caused by staying up late at night – and internal – the decline in physical fitness caused by ageing," the doctor said. “
Since Mr. Zhang runs a mahjong parlor, he often stays up late, which makes his body vulnerable to cold at night. The cold air at night is turbid, which is easy to hurt the lower part of the human body, so in addition to gastrointestinal symptoms, Mr. Zhang also has knee pain.
Through this case, it is not difficult to see the complexity and severity of stomach cold in winter. The doctor reminds: "The occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases is closely related to daily habits.
To avoid the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases, we must first maintain good work and rest habits, and avoid staying up late and overwork
Secondly, we should pay attention to dietary hygiene and nutritional balance, and avoid eating raw and cold, spicy and greasy foods
In addition, it is necessary to add clothes in time according to the temperature change, and take warm measures to prevent the invasion of cold evils.
