This year's weather is particularly hot. After entering autumn, the temperature remains high and dry, so water supplement has become a matter of great concern. However, I didn't expect that some people also went to the emergency room recently because they drank too much water. Recently, on a hot afternoon, Ms. Chen was thirsty and drank two bottles of cold water at a time. Soon, she was holding her stomach, pale and suffering from abdominal pain. Ms. Chen's husband hurriedly sent her to Yuexiu Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital nearby for treatment. After consultation, physical examination and auxiliary examination, the emergency department doctor ruled out the severe acute abdomen of internal and external gynecology department, and considered Ms. Chen as "stomach cramp". So she was given intramuscular injection of anisodamine to relieve spasm, and Ms. Chen's abdominal pain was relieved. Wang Xiaoqin, head nurse of the emergency department of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, explained that stomach cramp refers to stomach muscle twitching, usually manifested as epigastric pain, and a feeling of squeezing in the stomach and abdomen, often accompanied by vomiting. The occurrence of gastric spasm is often related to physical fitness, diet and other factors. Why does drinking water also cause stomach cramps? Wang Xiaoqin said: "Most of them are because we can't drink water correctly. When we are thirsty, the body's water has already lost its balance, and some cells have been dehydrated. At this time, drinking water is' passive drinking '." Wang Xiaoqin suggested that when you are thirsty, you should not drink a lot of water at one time. It should not exceed one third of the physiological capacity of the human stomach (more than 500ml for adults). A large amount of water enters the stomach at one time, which is not only easy to stimulate stomach spasm, affect digestive function, but also increase the burden of the heart and kidney. The correct way to drink water is to slowly drink a glass of water (200ml water). Children or the elderly can slowly drink a glass of water twice (100ml each time). When drinking water with a lower temperature, you can take the first sip of water in your mouth and swallow it slowly to adapt your mouth and body to the water temperature, and then drink it slowly. What if the stomach cramp is caused by drinking too much water? Wang Xiaoqin pointed out that at this time, the stomach muscle is contracting strongly, and antispasmodic drugs should be used to relieve it, such as triptavirine hydrochloride, Abdecoan tablets, etc. At the same time, the acid suppressant magnesium aluminate should be used to protect the stomach mucosa. For non drug intervention, hot towels can be used to compress the painful parts, and attention should be paid to prevent scalding. The hot compress time should be less than 30 minutes. If there is still no relief, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. It should be noted that if the cause of abdominal pain is uncertain, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Do not use analgesic drugs at will to avoid covering up the real condition.
