Introduction
If stomach discomfort occurs after consuming too many eggs, start by drinking some warm water and gently massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction, or engage in appropriate physical activity to promote gastrointestinal motility and relieve symptoms. If stomach discomfort persists despite these measures, consult a doctor for guidance on taking prokinetic medications to improve gastric motility.
Eating too many eggs and experiencing stomach discomfort can generally be relieved through physical measures, medication, and other methods.
1. Physical treatment
Stomach discomfort after eating too many eggs is usually due to the high content of protein and cholesterol in eggs, which makes them difficult to digest and increases gastrointestinal burden, leading to indigestion. Patients can start by drinking warm water, performing clockwise abdominal massage, or engaging in appropriate physical activity to promote gastrointestinal motility, aid digestion, and alleviate stomach discomfort.
2. Medication
If stomach discomfort persists despite the above measures, patients may, under a doctor's guidance, take medications that enhance gastric motility. Commonly used drugs include Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets (digestive health tablets) and Domperidone tablets, which help accelerate gastrointestinal movement and facilitate faster digestion of food, thereby improving stomach discomfort.
In addition, after experiencing stomach discomfort from eating too many eggs, patients should avoid consuming spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods to prevent worsening of symptoms.
