Continuous abdominal distension and fatigue... The "health products" were poisoned by lead
2022-03-08
Abdominal distension, almost everyone has felt it. Persistent abdominal distension is often regarded as gastrointestinal diseases such as dyspepsia, gastritis and gastric ulcer. Mr. Zhou, 64, has encountered this problem recently, and various drugs and examinations have not solved the problem. After looking for the reasons, I found that the root of the problem was lead poisoning! Strange. The cause of persistent abdominal distension is unknown Since last year's national day, Mr. Zhou has been suffering from unexplained abdominal distension and his appetite is getting worse and worse. He thought he had "indigestion", so he bought drugs in pharmacies and clinics for many times. After taking the "one touch more" medicine, the symptoms become more and more serious, not only abdominal distension and fatigue, but also abdominal pain occasionally, and even feel tired after activities. Continuous abdominal distension makes Mr. Zhou feel that he can't resist it by "making do with it". He went to a nearby hospital. Gastroscopy found "mild reflux esophagitis and chronic non atrophic gastritis". At the same time, he also had problems such as anemia and abnormal liver function. After further screening for autoimmune diseases, tumors, hematopoietic raw materials, CT and abdominal color Doppler ultrasound, no abnormalities were found. After the drug treatment of "protecting liver, stomach and promoting gastrointestinal motility", Mr. Zhou's symptoms have not improved significantly. "I can't react to playing mahjong! What's the matter?" He found that at present, not only the problems such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain have not been solved, but it is difficult to concentrate, and even sleep has been affected. be shocked The culprit was heavy metal poisoning "What disease is it?" With fear of unknown problems, Mr. Zhou came to Chengdu Third People's hospital. After the admission examination, Dr. Yang Zengwei of the Department of Gastroenterology found that Mr. Zhou had anemia in addition to digestive tract problems. His hemoglobin was lower than before, and now it was only 65g / L. In order to find out the cause of anemia, the digestive Department invited the hematology department to carry out multidisciplinary consultation. Tan Jing, director of Hematology Department, found in the consultation that there are a lot of "color spots" on the red blood cells of patients, while a large number of basophilic color spots appear on the red blood cells, which often indicates the problem of heavy metal poisoning! According to this important clue, Yang Zengwei further arranged heavy metal detection for him. Through the examination of blood and urine, the results showed that the lead content in blood and urine exceeded the standard. In other words, Mr. Zhou is indeed "lead poisoning"! Regret it Health care is not harmful "How can I be poisoned?" For this result, Mr. Zhou, who has never been exposed to heavy metals such as lead, is very puzzled. It is very important to find the cause of the poisoning, and it is more important to find the cause of the poisoning, because it can help Mr. Zhou avoid further poisoning. The doctor helped Mr. Zhou sort out his work, living environment and family members, but after investigation one by one, no suspicious reasons were found. "Could it be that health care product?" Mr. Zhou's family said that there was no difference in food, housing and transportation. The only difference was that he had been taking a kind of health care product for a long time. It turns out that after being diagnosed with diabetes 5 years ago, Mr. Zhou was recommended to take a powdered health care product "hypoglycemic". "Every day he will take 5g to drink with water, but this product is not available for instructions and recipes." According to the doctor's advice, Mr. Zhou immediately stopped taking the health care product and carried out lead removal treatment at the same time. After treatment, the symptoms of abdominal distension and fatigue disappeared, and the appetite gradually improved. Hemoglobin in follow-up review has risen to 110g / L. at present, the follow-up feedback is also good. "I don't dare to take medicine and health care products any more!" For this experience, Mr. Zhou and his family were full of fear. It is worth noting that the cases of lead poisoning caused by health products in recent years are not accidental. Why are health products related to lead poisoning? According to the analysis, this may be related to the excessive lead in its raw materials or the pollution of equipment in the processing process. Doctors remind: do not easily try the treatment plan provided by non professional medical personnel or take drugs and health products with unknown sources and ingredients, so as not to cause harm to your own health. Health care products should be selected through formal institutions, and the product qualification should be recognized at the same time, so as to obtain corresponding quality assurance. If you feel unwell, you should go to a regular medical institution as soon as possible to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, it is recommended to accept the examination with sufficient basis to help clarify the cause of the disease as soon as possible. Liu zuofeng, Li Shimin Popular science reading ■ what is lead poisoning? Lead poisoning is a non communicable chronic disease caused by the cumulative absorption of lead.
