The habit of gagging oneself to induce vomiting for 10 years can likely lead to anorexia, esophageal cancer, gastric diseases, and facial deformities. During vomiting, gastric acid can damage the throat, teeth, and esophagus, resulting in throat infections, inflammation, and reflux esophagitis, thus increasing the risk of esophageal cancer. Therefore, the dangers of gagging oneself to induce vomiting are significant, and one should strive to avoid it.
1. Facial Deformities: Whether vomiting is induced after binge eating, the chewing, tongue movement, and continuous saliva secretion during binge eating can all lead to facial muscle development, salivary gland enlargement, and irreversible facial deformation. Even if the excess fat is removed, the person's appearance may still resemble a distorted big-headed doll.
2. Digestive System Disorders: If the digestive tract is healthy, with vigorous gastrointestinal motility and smooth excretion, excess heat and food can be expelled quickly. With a little exercise, excess calories can be burned off. This is a crucial reason why some people can eat a lot yet remain slim - they are healthy. However, binge eating is a killer of digestive system health, potentially causing slow gastrointestinal motility, constipation, and prolonged food retention in the body, which leads to the absorption of doubled calories and various issues.
3. Sudden Death from Vomiting: During vomiting, the head feels swollen, and there is a buzzing sound in the ears. This is due to increased intracranial pressure, blood rushing to the head, and intense blood vessel dilation. Every time you vomit, you are flirting with death. Non-professionals may not understand the severity of this danger.
4. Neural Weakness or Mental Issues: People who gag themselves to induce vomiting often hate themselves and live in a state of conflict and struggle. Repression leads to binge eating, which further causes depression, creating a vicious cycle. Long-term self-negation and psychological suggestions can lead to severe mental breakdowns and complete disorientation.
5. Esophageal Sphincter Laxity: Those who frequently gag themselves to induce vomiting may automatically regurgitate food even without gagging after eating. This is because the esophageal sphincter has been excessively stimulated and lost its elasticity. The sphincter acts like a lid for the stomach. When the lid is damaged and the stomach contracts for digestion, it can squeeze out the food. It is difficult to resist vomiting, which brings much inconvenience to social interactions and daily life, affecting one's image and self-esteem.
