Don't ignore the gastrointestinal health problems in summer.

12-07-2023

There is a peak season for gastrointestinal diseases from June to October each year, with symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, belching, and loss of appetite, which become a hidden burden for those with gastrointestinal discomfort.

 

As the summer approaches, the human body undergoes a series of physiological changes to adapt to the climate, including increased fluid loss, reduced secretion of digestive fluids, decreased digestion function, and decreased immune system. At this time, excessive consumption of cold drinks and foods further reduces digestive function, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, cold abdomen, belching, and loss of appetite. Prolonged exposure to air-conditioned rooms can also increase the sensation of coldness in the abdomen, exacerbating discomfort.

 

The hot and humid climate in summer creates favorable conditions for the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms and increase of insects like flies, making food more susceptible to contamination and increasing the risk of bacterial and viral infections, leading to indigestion, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

 calprotectin test

To prevent gastrointestinal diseases from developing into cancer, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and undergo regular early screening for gastrointestinal health. Calprotectin is a widely recognized biomarker for intestinal health, which can help differentiate between bacterial and viral infections causing diarrhea and assist in the diagnosis of intestinal inflammation. Combined with fecal occult blood, transferrin, and Helicobacter pylori antigen testing, multiple indicators can monitor gastrointestinal health. Currently, calprotectin testing has become the preferred initial screening option for patients unwilling to undergo gastroscopy, meeting the accuracy, sensitivity, convenience, and cost-effectiveness requirements of individuals and families for health management.
