summary

The prevention of dyspepsia in the elderly is not so simple. There are many problems. After all, the gastrointestinal digestion of the elderly is different from that of ordinary people. How can the elderly prevent dyspepsia? One of the problems that old people encounter in diet is indigestion. What should I eat? What can't you eat? We should pay attention to what we should pay attention to in the diet, so as to avoid repeated indigestion.

Attention should be paid to the prevention of dyspepsia in the elderly

First: adhere to good living habits and maintain a stable and optimistic mood. If food is not enough, regular and quantitative, appropriate postprandial activities can make gastrointestinal function automatic and programmed, thus reducing its burden. Timing solution is an important way to prevent constipation. Emotion has a great influence on gastrointestinal digestive function. Anger and depression not only affect gastrointestinal movement, but also affect the secretion of digestive juice. Over time, dyspepsia will occur.

Second: no or less use of drugs to inhibit gastrointestinal function. Diazepam and theophylline can inhibit gastrointestinal function. Some drugs, such as phenolphthalein, bisacodyl (bensaiting), triesterophenol, etc., can work temporarily for constipation, but long-term use will make the intestinal tract lose the ability of self movement, thus causing or aggravating constipation.

Third: frequent inspection. In case of abnormal symptoms of digestive tract, we should go to the hospital for examination in time. Even if the situation is normal, we should also do gastrointestinal endoscopy and B-ultrasound examination regularly. It is generally accepted that fecal occult blood test is an effective method for early detection of gastrointestinal tumors, which is neither painful nor expensive, and can be sent for regular examination. The patients with gastrointestinal polyps should be thoroughly removed in time to avoid future trouble.
