Nausea and vomiting are common gastrointestinal symptoms that may be caused by various gastric diseases.
1. Acute gastroenteritis: This condition usually develops suddenly, commonly triggered by improper or unhygienic diet. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fever are its main symptoms and may be related to viral or bacterial infection.
2. Gastric ulcer: It results from impaired defense mechanisms of the gastric mucosa, leading to digestion of the mucosa by gastric acid and pepsin. Excessive gastric acid secretion can irritate the ulcer site, causing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
3. Chronic gastritis: Stimulation of the gastric mucosa by pathogens may lead to disordered gastric motility, resulting in symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Symptoms of chronic gastritis may persist for a long time, requiring patients to pay attention to adjustments in dietary habits and lifestyle.
If organic gastric lesions are present, medication under a doctor's guidance is necessary. In daily life, dietary considerations should include eating light meals, developing good eating habits, eating smaller meals more frequently, and maintaining regular bowel movements.
