Will the weather change have any effect on the gallbladder?

Abdominal pain, as one of the most common clinical symptoms, involves many parts of human body, such as stomach, intestine, gallbladder, pancreas, bladder, pelvic cavity and ovary. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pathogenesis of abdominal pain can be divided into exogenous internal injury and food accumulation, but the influence of patients' constitution, weather and climate on abdominal pain can not be ignored. Su Wen's Theory of Great Pain said: "Cold is between the stomach and intestines, but under the membrane, blood can't disperse, and small collaterals cause acute pain. The hot air stays in the small intestine, which is hot and thirsty, so it is difficult to dry out, so it hurts and can't be closed. "

Among many abdominal pains, epigastric pain (including acute and chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, stomach cramps, etc. ) has the highest proportion. Clinical practice shows that the frequency of epigastric pain is high in cold season, and the probability of cold wave and warm front crossing the border is the highest in cold season. Obviously, temperature and its change range are the main meteorological factors affecting epigastric pain. Therefore, when preventing epigastric pain, we should pay attention to the weather (especially the cold wave weather in winter), and change clothes and quilts in time when the weather changes suddenly.

Recently, domestic medical and meteorological experts have found that the incidence of gastric ulcer has the characteristics of changing with the change of meteorological factors: autumn and winter are high-incidence periods, and the high-incidence process in winter is related to the highest air pressure and extreme high temperature; The process of high incidence in autumn is related to the variation range of temperature and air pressure. According to this conclusion, patients can take preventive measures in advance according to the weather forecast, so as to alleviate the pain and reduce the occurrence of complications such as gastric bleeding and perforation.

Among the diseases of intestine, gallbladder and pancreas, unclean diet and improper diet account for a large proportion. In summer, when the temperature and humidity are high for a long time, the food is most likely to be unclean (the bacteria that cause food poisoning are most suitable for growth and reproduction at around 37℃). If people eat rotten things under the fumigation of high temperature and humidity in summer, they will have abdominal pain, vomiting and high fever. Cholecystitis and pancreatitis often occur after overeating, but damp heat and coldness are also inducing factors.

Medical meteorologists also found that some severe abdominal pains are often related to weather conditions: appendicitis is easy to attack in weather with strong vertical convection and low air pressure; Gallstone colic is also prone to occur in high humidity and low pressure weather; The frequency of bladder colic is the highest when there are thick clouds in winter and thunderstorms in summer.

Many gynecological diseases are manifested as abdominal pain, and many gynecological diseases are also "meteorological diseases". For example, during the menstrual period and puerperium, women in cold weather do not wear clothes; Every wet rainy season, wading in the rain, cold pathogens will take the opportunity to invade, which can cause irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other diseases, and abdominal pain is inevitable.
