Symptoms of gastric ulcer in children

Duodenal ulcer is the most common gastric ulcer in children. It is mainly related to irregular diet, uncontrolled diet, overeating and other factors. Some children eat and play, and some parents tease or scold their children at the dinner table. Some children get up late in the morning, in order to catch up with the class, they don't even care about breakfast. Some children swallow their meals in order to have fun or catch up with their lessons. They often take two or three mouthfuls of rice soaked in soup or steamed bread soaked in boiling water. In the long run, it is easy to cause gastric ulcer in children.

Children's gastric ulcer is not as typical as adults. Adults with gastric ulcer often have the symptoms of heating, acid reflux and epigastric pain, while children often show epigastric or umbilical pain, most of which are irregular. Acid return and heating are relatively rare. Children because of irregular diet, such as due to out of date meals make the stomach completely empty, causing a high degree of hunger, resulting in gastric retrograde peristalsis, causing gastric mucosal vasodilation, mucosal edema, gastric acid damage, local inflammation and ulcer. When overeating, the gastric antrum is highly dilated, gastrin secretion reduces the ability of pyloric sphincter, causes duodenal fluid reflux, and easily destroys the barrier function of gastric mucosa and causes ulcer.

The younger the age, the less typical the symptoms of gastric ulcer. The main symptoms of neonatal and infant gastric ulcer disease are recurrent vomiting, anorexia, bloody stool and crying, because the symptoms are not specific. It is often difficult to timely diagnosis and treatment, prone to perforation and complicated peritonitis. Preschool children often complain of abdominal pain, but can not clearly point out the location of pain. The older the child, the more frequent the pain, but limited to the upper abdomen. The pain usually occurs intermittently and repeatedly, lasting for several minutes to half an hour. When the pain intensifies, children can't help crying. At night, children can wake up from their dreams. This kind of abdominal pain is often related to diet, that is, attack before meals and relieve after eating. This is often mistaken for ascariasis, often does not cause the attention of parents, until hematemesis, bloody stool to the hospital examination found that children with gastric ulcer disease.
