Does stomach ulcer affect pregnancy?

Many pregnant women are afraid that their pregnancy will affect the fetus after suffering from antral gastritis, because there are many diseases that cannot be carried in the fetus. If the fetus is carried with a disease, it is easy to cause harm to the fetus, and even some diseases can be transmitted to the fetus. Such diseases are also called hereditary diseases. Gastric ulcer is a gastrointestinal disease. The main symptom of the disease can cause the stomach and intestines to rot. In severe cases, it can cause gastric cancer. So will gastric ulcer affect pregnancy?

It has no effect on pregnancy, but you should be careful when taking medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Generally speaking, if you are pregnant, don't do excessive exercise and pay attention to your diet so that you won't get sick.

Guidance:

Ulcer patients should avoid drinking tea

Drinking tea is beneficial to healthy people, but it is harmful to patients with ulcers.

Because tea can increase gastric acid secretion after acting on the gastric mucosa, especially for patients with duodenal ulcer, this effect is more obvious. Excessive gastric acid secretion will offset the efficacy of antacids and is not conducive to the healing of ulcers. Therefore, in order to promote the healing of ulcers, ulcer patients are advised not to drink tea, especially strong tea.

Ulcer patients should avoid drinking milk

Milk is delicious and nutritious, and was once considered an ideal drink for patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers. However, recent studies have found that drinking milk can make the condition of ulcer patients worse.

Because milk, like beer, can cause a large amount of gastric acid secretion. When milk first enters the stomach, it can dilute the concentration of gastric acid, alleviate the stimulation of gastric acid to the stomach and duodenal ulcer, and temporarily relieve the upper abdominal discomfort. But after a while, milk becomes a stimulating factor for the gastric mucosa, thereby producing more gastric acid, further worsening the condition. Therefore, patients with ulcers should not drink milk.

How to take care of yourself for patients with gastric ulcer

Gastric ulcer is a common and chronic disease that is prone to recurrence and presents a chronic course. Therefore, it takes a relatively difficult and long-lasting process to cure gastric ulcer. In addition to cooperating with medical staff for active treatment, patients should also take good care of themselves.

(l) You must insist on taking medication for a long time: Since gastric ulcer is a chronic disease and is prone to recurrence, you must insist on taking medication for a long time to completely heal it. You must not stop taking medication suddenly when the symptoms improve slightly, and you must not change your mind frequently. If you see that the symptoms have not improved after taking a certain medication for just a few days, you should switch to another medication. Generally speaking, a course of treatment requires taking medication for 4 to 6 weeks, and after the pain is relieved, you must continue to take treatment for 1 to 3 months, or even longer.

(2) Avoid mental stress: Gastric ulcer is a typical psychosomatic disease, and psychological factors have a great impact on gastric ulcer. Mental stress, emotional excitement, or excessive worry will produce adverse stimulation to the cerebral cortex, weakening or losing the regulatory function of the subthalamic center, causing autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which is not conducive to food digestion and ulcer healing. Maintaining a relaxed and happy mood is the key to curing gastric ulcer.

Suffering from gastric ulcer will not affect pregnancy. Everyone must remember that when suffering from gastric ulcer, you must pay attention to good life care and maintain a regular diet. Intemperance in diet can also cause this abnormal phenomenon, so dietary moderation is very important. Pregnant women with antral gastritis also need timely treatment, but the choice of medicine is very important during treatment. Never choose medicines that are harmful to the fetus.
