Causes of stomach acid in women

Gastric juice is a very important substance for digesting food. If the secretion of gastric juice is too much or too little, it will affect gastrointestinal health. Especially when there is too much gastric acid, uncomfortable symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and acid reflux may occur. In severe cases, it may also cause reflux esophagitis. So, what is the cause of excessive stomach acid in women? Clinical medicine has concluded that there are many reasons that can cause excessive gastric acid in women, and an unscientific diet is one of the more common factors.

1. Excessive stomach acid is mainly related to poor diet structure. For example, eating too much sweet, salty, cold, hot, spicy, or sour food will irritate the stomach and increase the secretion of gastric juice. In severe cases, symptoms such as hyperacidity and acid reflux will occur. Secondly, some people eat too much food that is difficult to digest at one time. The remaining sugar will ferment in the digestive tract, which will also cause excessive stomach acid. There are also some people who do not eat at regular times or often eat snacks, which will cause worse gastrointestinal function and increase in gastric juice secretion.

2. If women suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, it will also cause hyperacidity. Clinical medicine summarizes that the diseases that can cause hyperacidity include chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, cholecystitis, etc. At the same time, it will be accompanied by many symptoms such as stomach pain and loss of appetite. Therefore, for women with excessive gastric acid caused by gastrointestinal diseases, treating gastric disease is the main way to relieve it.

3. Some drugs can also cause gastrointestinal disorders after irritating the stomach, leading to excessive secretion of gastric acid. For example, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are a common therapeutic drug that can cause excessive gastric acid metabolism. If taken for a long time, the chance of gastric disease will increase.

In addition to the above common reasons that can cause excessive secretion of gastric juice in women, women's own genetic constitution is also one of the factors that cause excessive secretion of gastric juice.
