Irregular diet? Be careful of acute biliary and pancreatic diseases

"During the holidays, the number of patients with acute biliary and pancreatic diseases in emergency surgery will be significantly increased than usual." Xu Jia, Deputy Dean and general surgeon of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the most common diseases were acute cholecystitis and acute pancreatitis. Its main symptoms are abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and other digestive tract symptoms. Severe patients are also accompanied by fever, jaundice and other common causes are overeating, alcoholism, fatigue and so on.

National Day holiday, family and friends gathered together, inevitably eat a few meals, drink a few drinks. Experts suggest that irregular diet, especially sudden and high-frequency overeating, will greatly increase the burden of the digestive system, especially for those who already have the basis of gallbladder stones and other biliary and pancreatic diseases, it is very easy to induce acute attacks of biliary and pancreatic diseases. According to Xu Jia, about half of acute pancreatitis patients have biliary tract diseases. Eating greasy food can cause gallbladder contraction and release stored concentrated bile to help digest fat. However, patients with gallstones are prone to gallstones accompanied by acute cholecystitis and severe right upper abdominal pain. Therefore, overeating should be avoided as much as possible. The diet should follow the principles of low fat, high protein, high cellulose, high carbohydrate, non stimulation and easy digestion. Especially, people with gallstone disease should eat less fried, greasy and stimulating food as much as possible.

In addition, heavy drinking is also an important cause of acute pancreatitis. Alcohol can stimulate the secretion of trypsin, cause the pressure of pancreatic duct to rise sharply, cause the rupture of pancreatic acinus, at the same time, alcohol can cause the edema of duodenal papilla and spasm of sphincter, which can induce acute pancreatitis. "Don't forget to abstain from drinking while having fun with relatives and friends." Xu Jia said.

Xu Jia suggested that good living habits are important factors in preventing acute biliary and pancreatic diseases. We should exercise appropriately for ourselves on the premise of avoiding fatigue, improve the immunity of the body, and maintain a cheerful and optimistic attitude.
