Introduction
The term "肚子" refers to the abdomen, and "拉稀" refers to diarrhea. Abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and insomnia may be caused by indigestion, chronic gastritis, or chronic enteritis, among other conditions, and can be improved with medication. When food is not properly digested and accumulates in the intestines, it can lead to uncoordinated intestinal motility and excessive gas production, causing local discomfort and affecting sleep.
The term "stomach" refers to the abdomen, and "having loose bowels" refers to diarrhea. Abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and insomnia may be caused by conditions such as indigestion, chronic gastritis, or chronic enteritis, and these symptoms can be improved with medication. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Indigestion
Indigestion is a condition in which the digestive system fails to properly break down food, leading to discomfort and associated symptoms. When food is not digested normally, it accumulates in the intestines, causing disordered intestinal motility and excessive gas production, resulting in localized discomfort and sleep disturbances. Patients may take medications such as Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets or Domperidone Tablets under medical guidance to relieve symptoms.
2. Chronic Gastritis
Chronic gastritis is a disease caused by long-term inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Excessive gastric acid secretion, Helicobacter pylori infection, and other factors impair normal digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing proper processing of food. This may also lead to intestinal flora imbalance, resulting in symptoms such as diarrhea. Patients may be treated with medications such as Omeprazole Enteric-Coated Capsules or Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-Coated Capsules under a doctor's supervision.
3. Chronic Enteritis
Chronic enteritis is a condition characterized by prolonged inflammation of the intestinal lining. Due to abnormal immune responses in the intestinal mucosa, excessive immune reactions occur, leading to intestinal inflammation and ulcers that disrupt normal bowel function and cause symptoms such as bloating and abdominal pain. Patients may be treated with medications such as Montmorillonite Powder or Gentamicin Sulfate Tablets under medical guidance.
Besides the above causes, similar symptoms may also result from irritable bowel syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or intestinal tumors. Given the wide range of possible underlying conditions, individuals experiencing bodily discomfort should seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital.
