Man Nearly Died After Eating Hotpot, Vomiting Blood, Doctors Endoscopy Gastroscopy Finds Coriander as Cause, Eating It Wrong Almost Killed Him
A man in Hunan Province, China, recently had to be rushed to hospital after vomiting blood and suffering stomach bleeding due to eating vegetables improperly.
Wang Jiangang, 60, from Yuhua County, Hunan Province, experienced severe stomach pain and vomiting blood for no apparent reason. His family rushed him to the Affiliated Hospital of Nanhua University in China for treatment. After examination, doctors found that he had upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
After examining his medical history, Dr. Li Zhaihua, deputy director of the hospital’s cardiology department. Found that the patient had undergone a heart valve replacement surgery 12 years ago and had to take anticoagulants for a long time. Therefore, the medical team urgently sought out the cause of his gastrointestinal bleeding and stopped the bleeding to prevent complications.
Dr. Li Zhaihua urgently consulted a gastroenterologist and performed an endoscopy on the patient’s stomach. The results showed that the pylorus was blocked by undigested coriander. Which prevented food from passing through normally, leading to vomiting blood and stomach bleeding.
After the cause was identified and timely treatment was given, Mr Wang’s condition was brought under control.
After recovering, Mr Wang Jiangang revealed that he had bought some coriander to make hot pot. But did not cut it into small pieces before eating. He also dipped a small amount of coriander into the soup without chewing it before swallowing it. Which caused the coriander to be indigestible and led to pyloric obstruction.
Dr. Li Zhaihua explains that pyloric obstruction, also known as pyloric stenosis, can be caused by a number of factors. Which results in the movement of food and digestive juices from the stomach into the upper small intestine being blocked or completely stopped. Common symptoms include vomiting and bloating.
*In Mr. Wang’s case, the patient had a history of taking anticoagulants for a long time. After a heart valve replacement surgery. In addition, the aging process also caused the digestive system to deteriorate. In addition, eating a large amount of raw coriander that had not been chewed properly caused the coriander fibers to become stuck in the stomach opening, leading to gastric bleeding.
“Coriander is high in dietary fiber. Consuming it in moderation can help stimulate the intestinal tract. However, if consumed in excess or improperly (e.g., not chewed thoroughly, not cut into small pieces, or not cooked properly). It can burden the digestive system, leading to flatulence and diarrhea. Coriander has a pungent smell and hot properties. After eating, it can stimulate the เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง gastric mucosa and cause a feeling of heat in the stomach. Therefore, people with gastric ulcers should avoid consuming this vegetable,” said Dr. Li Zhaihua.
Finally, experts recommend that in daily diets, especially high-fiber foods, they should be cooked thoroughly, eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly, especially for the elderly and those with weak digestive systems, to reduce the risk of conditions similar to Mr. Wang’s.
