What should I pay attention to one month after gastric bleeding?

Gastric bleeding is a relatively common stomach disease. This disease does not occur alone, but the patient has previously suffered from a certain stomach disease, such as gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer, etc. However, if the patient can go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, find the most professional doctor, and take medicine on time every day, the gastric bleeding can be completely controlled in about a month, and then it can be cured through slow treatment. So what should you pay attention to one month after gastric bleeding?

1. Continue to take the medicine for a course of treatment. Let's take ranitidine as an example. A course of treatment is 4-8 weeks, and take 1 pill (0.15 grams) every morning and evening. After completing a course of treatment, take 1 pill every day for half a year to 1 year, and recheck the gastroscopy. You can stop taking the medicine after the ulcer heals.

2. Quit smoking and drinking. Smoking can damage the function of the pyloric sphincter, causing it to become disordered and causing bile to reflux into the stomach. High concentrations of bile salts can have a strong damaging effect on the gastric mucosa, making it difficult for ulcers to heal. Therefore, quitting smoking is very important. Alcohol, especially strong alcohol, can dissolve lipids on the gastric mucosa and directly damage the gastric mucosal barrier, which not only affects the healing of ulcers, but is also the main cause of ulcer bleeding. Therefore, patients with ulcers must avoid alcohol after being discharged from the hospital.

3. Eat regularly, quantitatively and regularly. Do not eat too much or too little. After discharge, you can gradually transition from a semi-liquid diet to soft food. Do not eat rough, overly acidic and irritating foods, such as bamboo shoots, vinegar, bayberry, peppers, coffee, etc.

4. Avoid taking drugs that are harmful to the gastric mucosa, such as hormones, salicylates, indomethacin, erythromycin, and reserpine. If you must use them, you can add gastric mucosal protective agents such as smectite and sucralfate.

5. Prevent anemia. Although patients undergo blood transfusion after gastric bleeding, they often suffer from anemia. They can eat some foods high in iron, such as spinach, pork liver, egg yolk, etc. They can also take some blood-enriching drugs such as Yixuesheng, dextran iron, etc.

6. Be cheerful. People often say that the stomach is a mirror of emotions. The human cerebral cortex is related to the internal organs. A bad mood will also affect the healing of ulcers. Also, be careful to prevent cold.

After receiving treatment for a period of time, patients need to continue to improve their nutrition and eat more foods that are easy for the stomach to digest. These foods must have a certain amount of calories. Foods rich in protein and vitamins are also good choices. Try to avoid eating fried foods, and don't eat whole grains.
