On the eve of the Spring Festival, 70-year-old Grandma Wang (pseudonym) lost her appetite and did not want to eat, and thought that hawthorn could be appetizing, so she took out the fresh hawthorn that was prepared to make pear paste for children during the Chinese New Year. Two hours later, Grandma Wang felt that her abdomen was cramping and painful, and she couldn't bear it for 2 days, so she went to the First People's Hospital of Jinzhou District for treatment. After examination, Grandma Wang suffered from gastrolithiasis due to taking a large amount of hawthorn in a short period of time, and has now been discharged from the hospital after lithotripsy**. In this regard, the doctor of the gastroenterology department reminded: hawthorn, persimmon, black dates, etc"New Year's goods"No matter how delicious it is, it is not recommended to eat too much.
It happened suddenly. Half a catty"Raw hawthorn eats out gastrolithiasis.
The relevant medical staff of the First People's Hospital of Jinzhou District said that the patient, Grandma Wang, a 70-year-old woman who lives in Jinpu New District, had a history of elevated blood sugar for one year on the day of her visit. So, I asked Grandma Wang if she had eaten anything before she was admitted to the hospital. Grandma Wang said that just three days before she was admitted to the hospital, she felt a loss of appetite and did not want to eat, thinking that hawthorn could be appetizing, so she took out the fresh hawthorn prepared to make pear paste during the Spring Festival at home and ate it, about half a catty. When you first eat it, the taste buds quickly continue in the hawthorn"Offensive"Under the gradual opening, Grandma Wang felt her appetite"It's back"。But unexpectedly, after eating for more than 2 hours, I felt abdominal cramping pain, the pain was located in the middle and upper abdomen, and it was a persistent dull pain and paroxysmal colic, so I took oral painkillers at home, but there was no relief. I couldn't carry it for 2 days, so Grandma Wang hurried to the hospital for treatment.
Combined with the patient's medical history, the medical staff considered the possibility of gastric stone disease at that time, so they handled the inpatient system diagnosis and treatment for him. After admission, the symptoms did not improve significantly after fasting water, acid suppression, rehydration, symptomatic treatment, etc., and a perfect gastroscopy showed that a gastrolith with a size of about 5cm was formed in the stomach. The doctor successively used foreign body forceps, snare devices and other instruments to crush and cut the gastric stone into small pieces and retreat into the mirror, and after returning to the ward, he was allowed to take sodium bicarbonate orally, and the symptoms were gradually relieved, and the patient was cured and discharged from the hospital after a few days of observation.
Doctor reminds. Hawthorn, persimmon, black dates, etc. are not recommended to eat more.
In this regard, Li Wanyong, a gastroenterologist at the First People's Hospital of Jinzhou District, said that gastroliths are foreign bodies formed by ingesting certain plant ingredients or swallowing hair and certain minerals such as calcium carbonate, barium, bismuth and other minerals in the stomach. Patients with gastrolithiasis can be completely asymptomatic, or they can have epigastric discomfort, loss of appetite, bad breath, nausea, vomiting, or varying degrees of abdominal distension and abdominal pain. The patient developed a series of symptoms after eating hawthorn on an empty stomach.
Gastrolithiasis is generally divided into acute and chronic: acute: symptoms can appear half an hour to a few hours after eating a large amount of persimmons and hawthorns, such as: a feeling of heaviness in the upper abdomen, fullness, nausea and vomiting, broken persimmons in the vomit, and vomiting blood; Chronic: The disease is chronic if it lasts for more than six months. The symptoms of chronic gastrolithiasis are similar to those of ulcers or chronic gastritis, such as loss of appetite, indigestion, epigastric pain, acid reflux, heartburn, vomiting, etc. "In fact, the autumn and winter of each year is the high incidence season of gastric stones, most of the 'gastrolithiasis' patients in the north are caused by eating hawthorn, hawthorn has the effect of eliminating food and strengthening the stomach, dispersing qi and stasis, etc., and the common people also have indigestion symptoms in their daily lives, oral hawthorn in order to eliminate food and strengthen the stomach, but many patients take hawthorn orally, the tannic acid contained in hawthorn combines with gastric acid in the stomach to form water-insoluble tannin protein, and then coagulates with hawthorn's pectin, cellulose and other coagulation will coagulate into a mass to form a gastrolith. "Li Wanyong said. In the south, it is mostly caused by eating persimmons. Patients with a history of eating persimmons, hawthorns, and black dates, and have gastric symptoms shortly after eating, including recurrent epigastric pain, vomiting, and black stools, should be alert to the possibility of bezoars, which can be confirmed by gastroscopy and X-ray. Therefore, he reminded the general public that persimmons, hawthorns, black dates, etc., are not recommended to eat more.
