How to judge gastrointestinal dysfunction?

Many patients often experience vomiting, which is closely related to the patient's gastrointestinal function. Moreover, many patients often cannot judge whether they have gastrointestinal dysfunction. This often leads to many problems and even seriously affects the patient's own condition. The method of judging it is very important. So, how to judge gastrointestinal dysfunction?

1. Neurogenic vomiting is more common in women. Patients often vomit suddenly shortly after eating, generally without obvious nausea, vomiting is not effortful, the amount of vomiting is not large, and it does not affect appetite and food intake. They often eat while vomiting, so most of them do not have obvious nutritional disorders. Nervous vomiting may be accompanied by hysterical colors, such as exaggeration, affectation, susceptibility to suggestion, sudden onset, and completely normal intermission period, so it is also called hysterical vomiting.

2. Patients with neurotic dysphoria have recurrent episodes of continuous dysphoria, which causes them to involuntarily swallow large amounts of air, making the symptoms more obvious, leading to frequent dysphoria, often with hysterical colors, and attacks in public.

3. Anorexia nervosa mostly occurs in women, and is mainly characterized by anorexia or food refusal. In severe cases, there is weight loss. Most patients feel well and are active and agile, but sometimes, paradoxically, they are very interested in food, even eating a lot and then secretly vomiting it out. Due to long-term undereating, patients may lose 40-60% of their original body weight, reaching the level of cachexia. Patients often have neuroendocrine disorders, manifested as amenorrhea, hypotension, bradycardia, hypothermia, loss of hunger, etc.

General treatment

General treatment, or supportive therapy, does not require bed rest unless the patient's general condition is very poor, and the patient can participate in appropriate labor and work. Live a regular life and regularly participate in appropriate cultural and entertainment activities. The diet should consist of foods with little residue and that are easily digestible, and avoid spicy foods and strong condiments. People with anorexia nervosa should be hospitalized and gradually taught to develop normal eating habits. Eating high-fiber vegetables or wheat bran and developing a habit of regular bowel movements often have a therapeutic effect. Those with abdominal pain can massage their abdomen by themselves. If necessary, put a hot water bag on the painful area, and do corresponding physical therapy and static qigong.

The above are some basic methods to judge gastrointestinal dysfunction. Patients should not eat too much spicy and greasy food. Try to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and develop normal eating habits. If there is abdominal pain, patients can massage their abdomen to relieve the pain well.
