How is Malignant Gastric Ulcer Formed?
Gastric ulcer is a peptic ulcer that occurs in the stomach, including benign gastric ulcer and malignant gastric ulcer. Malignant gastric ulcer refers to tumorous lesions occurring in the stomach, whose formation is mainly caused by dietary factors, Helicobacter pylori infection, drug effects, etc.
1. Dietary factors: Long-term consumption of spicy and stimulating foods or smoking and alcohol abuse can cause damage to the gastric mucosa, thus inducing gastric ulcer.
2. Helicobacter pylori infection: If a patient has Helicobacter pylori infection, it will lead to excessive gastric acid secretion, causing certain damage to the gastric mucosa, thereby causing gastric ulcer.
3. Drug effects: Long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or glucocorticoid drugs can cause certain damage to the gastric mucosa, leading to gastric ulcer.
4. Others: Factors such as genetic predisposition, low immune function, stress state, and abnormal coordination of gastroduodenal movement can all increase the probability of gastric ulcer occurrence.
In the early stage, there are generally no obvious discomfort symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting may appear, accompanied by loss of appetite and weight loss.
For benign gastric ulcer, acid suppressants such as Omeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Tablets and Famotidine Tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Colloidal Bismuth Pectin Capsules can also be used to protect the gastric mucosa. If necessary, surgical removal of the lesion can be performed. For malignant gastric ulcer, surgical treatment should be promptly adopted, and adjuvant treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be selected based on individual conditions after surgery.
It is recommended to maintain good living habits in daily life, avoid overeating, have regular rest, and ensure adequate sleep time to help maintain physical health.
