女性常见疼痛真实病因 | ||||
据调查发现,女性在排除了最常见的诱因后,有些疼痛的出现纯属“意外”,具体原因表现如下: 1、头痛,血压升高 真实病因:肾上腺素增高 提示:经常性出现轻微头痛,会让人难以集中精力工作和学习。 事实上,情绪紧张会使得肾上腺素增高,饮食中发酵的面包、奶酪、过熟的香蕉、巧克力、葡萄酒等酪氨酸含量偏高的食品吃得过多,也会导致体内肾上腺素增加,引发类似头疼。一旦注意了以上因素,很可能头痛也就不治而愈了。 2、耳痛 中耳炎 真实病因:泛迷走神经区域不适 提示:一旦出现耳朵痛,大多数人会认为是中耳炎引起的。事实上,耳道皮肤由迷走神经控制,这条神经行程最长,从颈部到胸腔直至腹腔。所以,它所经过之处哪里不舒服都会引起耳朵疼,例如扁桃体炎、咽部溃疡、喉咙发炎、声带炎、智齿发炎都会造成耳痛。 一般情况下,用有镇静作用的精油香熏或风油精都能缓解这种神经疼痛。 3、眼痛 眼疲劳 真实病因:经期目痛症 提示:对着电脑工作一天,很多人会感到眼睛疼,通常认为,这与眼睛过度疲劳有关。而女性如果经常在月经来的前后几天,出现眼睛疼痛现象,很可能就是由于经期目痛症引起的。 在女性月经期间,雌激素代谢异常会引起植物神经功能紊乱,使眼部血管扩张,或影响眼部的感觉神经,使眼睛感觉疼痛。除了调理月经外,用些泪液性的眼药水也可缓解疼痛。 4、肩痛 肌肉酸痛 真实病因:胆囊炎 提示:从生理解剖上分析,胆囊和右肩等部位的感觉神经有重叠的部分,所以,胆囊发炎会引起右肩及右肩胛下隐痛。 如果除肩疼之外,还有反复发作的胃灼热、嗳气、反酸、腹胀、恶心等消化不良症状,别忘了去医院检查一下你的胆囊。 5、胸痛 心绞痛 真实病因:颈椎病 提示:颈椎退化或小关节的错位,都会使椎动脉受压,引起脑干供血不足,继而影响到血管收缩中枢。多方面的作用会使冠状动脉痉挛,产生心肌缺血,出现胸闷、心慌、心前区疼痛、心律失常等症状,也称为“颈性心绞痛”。 这样的疼痛持续时间一般比较长,一旦出现疼痛,应及时去医院就诊。 6、背痛 颈椎病 真实病因:胸罩综合征 提示:出现背痛,很多人会认为是颈椎病所致,而对于女性来说,如果长期使用肩带过细或尺寸偏小的胸罩,就犹如给皮肤戴了一道细铁丝。人体连续活动时,上身肌肉不断运动,而胸罩在肌肤的很小范围内频繁摩擦,时间长了,肌肉容易因过度疲劳和血液循环障碍而变得僵硬,从而出现颈背部疼痛。所以,当你出现颈背疼痛时,别忽略了这个原因。 7、臀痛 脚抽筋 真实病因:坐骨神经痛 提示:从臀部如闪电般掠过,直达一侧的腿部和足部,一定会以为是脚抽筋了。 办公椅大多是直背的,工作姿势扭曲了脊柱的正常生理弯曲,再加上女性经常穿高跟鞋,人体重心前倾,脊柱的力学发生改变,造成对腰椎间盘的压迫和磨损,导致椎间盘突出,压住了坐骨神经,从而引发了那些不时袭来的剧痛。除了端正坐姿,还可以在医生的指导下进行物理治疗。 8、腿痛 缺钙 真实病因:动脉硬化 提示:腿部疼痛不一定是缺钙所致。动脉硬化后,腿部供血减少,血液循环不畅,代谢产物不能被血液带走。当代谢产生的物质在局部达到一定浓度时,就会刺激肌肉收缩,引起疼痛、抽筋。在腿部热敷可以促进血液循环,缓解疼痛。 9、脚痛 穿鞋不适 真实病因:痛风 Publish Post 提示:出现脚部疼痛,很多人会怪罪鞋子穿得不舒服。而其实这常常是美食醇酒惹的祸。动物内脏、海鲜、浓肉汤、食用菌类、豆类及啤酒等都是高嘌呤类食物,会使血液内尿酸含量过高,尿酸盐结晶析出并沉积在关节处,足关节最低,沉积也就最严重,最易发生痛风。发生这种情况,除了改变饮食习惯,还得积极配合治疗。 | ||||

女性常见疼痛真实病因
2008年12月21日星期日
胃酸逆流致氣喘
胃食道逆流患者因為胃酸刺激到咽喉,可能使得咳嗽症狀加重。三軍總醫院中醫部主任林高士表示,本身若是對於胃酸過敏者,當酸到咽喉部位時,容易刺激支氣管緊縮,便可能引發咳嗽症狀;本身有氣喘問題,也可能加重症狀誘發。中醫針對胃酸逆流的調理,可從改善胃寒、胃熱問題著手。
中醫師林高士表示,胃酸若分泌過多,直接進入十二指腸,容易因為堆積而逆流。常熬夜、易緊張的族群,也容易發生胃酸分泌異常的問題。中醫在調理相關引發的氣喘症狀,可從改善支氣管擴張,把痰清乾淨著手;而脾胃差的人,也要幫助把胃酸抑制下來,並從根本改善體質。
中醫辨證治療部分,「氣虛型」者可見胸悶,頭痛,胃下垂,胃脹不舒,治療應予以補氣,可用補中益氣湯調理。而「腎虛型」,則常見呼吸量增加,主要是因為腎不納氣所致,應予以補腎氣,可用六味地黃丸調理。而「脾胃虛弱型」者,則多見胃脹氣,吃完東西腹脹,也易喘,應加以調理腸胃,可用香砂六君子湯、參苓白朮湯調理。
針對胃酸逆流主症胃部不適部分,「胃寒型」者常見胃脹,消化差,動能不足,可用半夏瀉心湯、小建中湯調理。「胃熱型」者常見於急性胃炎者,伴有噁心、嘔吐,胃脹感到有灼熱感,可用黃芩、黃連類,或瀉心湯調理,改善胃部的發炎。
穴道針灸可取足三里、內關、中脘穴,增加腸子的消化力。氣喘問題在發作期可取定喘穴。緩解期可取肺俞穴、腎俞穴、壇中穴也能幫助痰易咳出。
醫師建議,預防應少吃刺激、辛辣、過酸的食物;宜少量多餐,讓胃酸容易中和。幫助氣喘症狀緩解,可多吃溫性食物,幫助補肺脾。避免涼性食物。也可選擇冬蟲夏草,或黃耆、人參加以補氣。
食道 & 咽喉胃酸逆流
簡單來說,如果胃酸逆流到食道,就稱為食道胃酸逆流。若逆流到咽喉,則稱為咽喉胃酸逆流,這兩種疾病的症狀、致病機轉、診斷方法不盡相同,有些病患會兩者同時存在。
食道胃酸逆流最常見的症狀是胸口灼熱感,而咽喉胃酸逆流最常見的症狀則是喉頭的異物感。診斷工具除了詳細的病史外,還包括用來診斷咽喉胃酸逆流的喉頭纖維內視鏡,診斷食道胃酸逆流的食道內視鏡及鋇劑食道攝影,以及診斷各種逆流性疾病的廿四小時酸鹼值監測儀。每一種檢查都各有其優缺點及準確性。除此之外,比較新的診斷技術包括經鼻食道內視鏡、以免疫分析來偵測口水中胃液素的含量,及用核子醫學的方式分析胃酸逆流的情形,其中有一部份已運用於臨床診斷上。
根據美國一項最新的報告指出,食道胃酸逆流的病患在近二十年來有越來越多的趨勢。原因包括肥胖人口的增加:身體質量指數(BMI)的增加和食道胃酸逆流的盛行有關;老年人口的增加:年紀越大,食道胃酸逆流的治療時間要更長;飲食習慣的改變:速食及微波食品的普及,導致平時攝取過多的脂肪及精製過的碳水化合物,加上咖啡因攝取的增加,都會加重胃酸逆流;工作及生活型態的改變:資訊化時代,坐著的時間增長及生活壓力的增加,都會加重胃酸逆流;幽門螺旋桿菌的減少:有文獻指出,和胃酸逆流的增加有關 。
咽喉胃酸逆流在這幾年隨著檢查技術的進步,加上藥物的發展,越來越受到重視。胃酸逆流也被證實和重度氣喘、反覆性的慢性鼻竇炎、慢性咳嗽、睡眠障礙、喉頭痙攣及狹窄等疾病有其相關性。
胃酸逆流的治療主要以生活型態的改變及藥物治療為主,當藥物治療效果不佳時,則考慮手術治療。生活型態的改變包括戒菸、戒酒;平時吃飯七分飽,睡前二小時不要再進食;禁食咖啡、茶葉、可樂、薄荷、油炸類、柑橘、番茄、洋蔥等食物;減重,不穿緊身衣褲;避免仰臥起坐、舉重等會增加腹壓的運動;睡覺時,頭部可稍微墊高。藥物治療則以第二型組織胺拮抗劑及氫離子幫浦阻斷劑為主,通常需要數週到數個月的時間。
What is GERD & LPR
What is GERD?
Gastroesophageal reflux, often referred to as GERD, occurs when acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus. Normally, food travels from the mouth, down through the esophagus and into the stomach. A ring of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), contracts to keep the acidic contents of the stomach from “refluxing” or coming back up into the esophagus. In those who have GERD, the LES does not close properly, allowing acid to move up the esophagus.
When stomach acid touches the sensitive tissue lining the esophagus and throat, it causes a reaction similar to squirting lemon juice in your eye. This is why GERD is often characterized by the burning sensation known as heartburn.
In some cases, reflux can be SILENT, with no symptoms until a problem arises. Almost all individuals have experienced reflux (GER), but the disease (GERD) occurs when reflux happens on a frequent basis often over a long period of time.
What is LPR?
During gastroesophageal reflux, the acidic stomach contents may reflux all the way up the esophagus, beyond the upper esophageal sphincter (a ring of muscle at the top of the esophagus), and into the back of the throat and possibly the back of the nasal airway. This is known as laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), which can affect anyone. Adults with LPR often complain that the back of their throat has a bitter taste, a sensation of burning, or something “stuck.” Some may have difficulty breathing if the voice box is affected.
In infants and children, LPR may cause breathing problems such as: cough, hoarseness, stridor (noisy breathing), croup, asthma, sleep disordered breathing, feeding difficulty (spitting up), turning blue (cyanosis), aspiration, pauses in breathing (apnea), apparent life threatening event (ALTE), and even a severe deficiency in growth. Proper treatment of LPR, especially in children, is critical.
What are the symptoms of GERD and LPR?
The symptoms of GERD may include persistent heartburn, acid regurgitation, nausea, hoarseness in the morning, or trouble swallowing. Some people have GERD without heartburn. Instead, they experience pain in the chest that can be severe enough to mimic the pain of a heart attack. GERD can also cause a dry cough and bad breath. Some people with LPR may feel as if they have food stuck in their throat, a bitter taste in the mouth on waking, or difficulty breathing although uncommon.
If you experience any of the following symptoms on a regular basis (twice a week or more) then you may have GERD or LPR. For proper diagnosis and treatment, you should be evaluated by your primary care doctor for GERD or an otolaryngologist—head and neck surgeon (ENT doctor).
Who gets GERD or LPR?
Women, men, infants, and children can all have GERD. This disorder may result from physical causes or lifestyle factors. Physical causes can include a malfunctioning or abnormal lower esophageal sphincter muscle (LES), hiatal hernia, abnormal esophageal contractions, and slow emptying of the stomach. Lifestyle factors include diet (chocolate, citrus, fatty foods, spices), destructive habits (overeating, alcohol and tobacco abuse) and even pregnancy. Young children experience GERD and LPR due to the developmental immaturity of both the upper and lower esophageal sphincters.
Unfortunately, GERD and LPR are often overlooked in infants and children leading to repeated vomiting, coughing in GER and airway and respiratory problems in LPR such as sore throat and ear infections. Most infants grow out of GERD or LPR by the end of their first year; however, the problems that resulted from the GERD or LPR may persist.
Diagnosing and Treating GERD and LPR
In adults, GERD can be diagnosed or evaluated by a physical examination and the patient’s response to a trial of treatment with medication. Other tests that may be needed include an endoscopic examination (a long tube with a camera inserted into the nose, throat, windpipe, or esophagus), biopsy, x-ray, examination of the throat and larynx, 24 hour pH probe, acid reflux testing, esophageal motility testing (manometry), emptying studies of the stomach, and esophageal acid perfusion (Bernstein test). Endoscopic examination, biopsy, and x-ray may be performed as an outpatient or in a hospital setting. Endoscopic examinations can often be performed in your ENT’s office, or may require some form of sedation and occasionally anesthesia.
Symptoms of GERD or LPR in children should be discussed with your pediatrician for a possible referral to a specialist.
Most people with GERD respond favorably to a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. On occasion, surgery is recommended. Medications that could be prescribed include antacids, histamine antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, pro-motility drugs, and foam barrier medications. Some of these products are now available over-the-counter and do not require a prescription.
Children and adults who fail medical treatment or have anatomical abnormalities may require surgical intervention. Such treatment includes fundoplication, a procedure where a part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to tighten the LES, and endoscopy, where hand stitches or a laser is used to make the LES tighter.
Adult lifestyle changes to prevent GERD and LPR:
-
Avoid eating and drinking within two to three hours prior to bedtime
-
Do not drink alcohol
-
Eat small meals and slowly
-
Limit problem foods:
Caffeine
Carbonated drinks
Chocolate
Peppermint
Tomato and citrus foods
Fatty and fried foods
-
Lose weight
-
Quit smoking
-
Wear loose clothing

The Miracle Fruit plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) produces berries that, when eaten, cause bitter and sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed later to taste sweet. The berry, also known as Miracle Berry, Magic Berry, Miraculous Berry or Flavour Berry,[2][3] was first documented by explorer Chevalier des Marchais[4] who searched for many different fruits during a 1725 excursion to its native West Africa. Marchais noticed that local tribes picked the berry from shrubs and chewed it before meals. The plant grows in bushes up to 20 feet (6.1 m) high in its native habitat, but does not usually grow higher than ten feet in cultivation, and it produces two crops per year, after the end of the rainy season. It is an evergreen plant that produces small red berries, with flowers that are white and which are produced for many months of the year. The seeds are about the size of coffee beans.
The berry contains an active glycoprotein molecule, with some trailing carbohydrate chains, called miraculin.[5][6] When the fleshy part of the fruit is eaten, this molecule binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods to taste sweet. While the exact cause for this change is unknown, one hypothesis is that the effect may be caused if miraculin works by distorting the shape of sweetness receptors "so that they become responsive to acids, instead of sugar and other sweet things".[3] This effect lasts between thirty minutes and two hours.
