Four seas network: as the saying goes: summer does not lose weight, a year is sad, summer is really a good time to lose weight, reasonable arrangements to lose weight, can quickly achieve the desired results, but some people quickly lose weight, choose to eat a large number of weight-loss drugs, or even eat weight-loss drugs as a meal, the results are too terrible, let's take a look at it together!
Last week, the endoscopy center of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University came to see a female patient who was in her thirties because of abdominal pain. Less than a minute after the enteroscope entered her body for exploration, the doctor found an abnormality: the original clear and bright screen of the examination equipment suddenly turned black. After a closer look, the screen turned black because the intestinal wall of the patient was black.
Wang Zhiyong, chief physician of the first digestive department of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University, said that after entering the normal enteroscope, the intestinal wall mucosa should be ruddy and glossy. However, when this patient is doing the enteroscope, we can see that the intestinal wall is dark, like entering the coal mine tunnel, the normal mucosa can not be seen.
This is a normal colonoscopy image. The intestinal mucosa is ruddy and glossy. However, the female patient's intestine is dark and almost can't see the mucosa.
After inquiring about her medical history carefully, the doctor learned that this female patient loves beauty. In order to maintain her slim figure, she has been taking weight-loss drugs for more than a year, and the main cause of her bowel blackening is weight-loss drugs.
Doctors said that there are some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in diet pills, mainly anthraquinone drugs, such as rhubarb, aloe, senna, which contain lipofuscin, or melanin. After taking weight-loss drugs for a long time, the melanin, or lipofuscin, will deposit in the intestinal mucosa, so the mucosa is black.
Clinically, this disease is called melanosis of colon. It is characterized by melanin deposition of colon mucosa. The external manifestations of patients include abdominal distention, constipation and dull pain of lower abdomen.
In the past, the majority of patients with melanosis coli were the elderly. Because of the high incidence of constipation in the elderly, the frequency of taking cathartic was relatively high. However, in the past two years, it has been found that the number of young people, especially women around the age of 30, is increasing. Moreover, they all have one thing in common: taking diet pills for a long time.
It should be noted that melanosis of the colon is not just a matter of changing the color of the intestine. The incidence of polyps in patients with melanosis is several times higher than that in the general population. However, polyps, including adenomas, are precancerous lesions, and some of them may develop into colon cancer.
Doctors suggest that once diagnosed with colon melanosis, patients need to have regular colonoscopy, and to prevent colon melanosis, we should reduce the use of unnecessary cathartic, whether constipation or weight loss, the best way to solve it is to control diet and reasonable exercise.
