讲述者: 本期节目讲述了一位名叫Roger Donovan的男士,他从29岁开始就饱受咳嗽和呕吐的困扰。起初,医生诊断他为哮喘和胃酸反流,并为他开具了吸入器和胃酸抑制剂。然而,这些治疗方法并没有改善他的症状,反而随着时间的推移,他的病情逐渐恶化。在经历了长达数十年的痛苦之后,Roger最终找到了病因:他天生缺乏食道下端括约肌,导致胃酸反流入肺部,引发剧烈咳嗽和呕吐。此外,他的胃还穿透了横膈膜,压迫肺部,加剧了他的不适。 Roger Donovan: 我从29岁开始就一直咳嗽和呕吐,尝试过各种治疗方法,包括使用吸入器和服用胃酸抑制剂,但都没有效果。我的症状在寒冷天气下会加剧,严重影响了我的睡眠和工作。多年来,我一直感到沮丧和无助,不知道该如何解决这个问题。直到最近,医生才发现我天生缺乏食道下端括约肌,并且我的胃穿透了横膈膜,压迫肺部。这解释了为什么我会感到肺部有压力,以及为什么弯腰会引发呕吐。 医生: 起初,我们诊断Roger为哮喘和胃酸反流,并为他进行了相应的治疗。然而,他的症状并没有得到改善,这让我们意识到他的病情可能更为复杂。经过一系列的检查,我们最终发现Roger缺乏食道下端括约肌,这导致胃酸反流入肺部,引发咳嗽和呕吐。此外,他的胃还穿透了横膈膜,压迫肺部,这解释了他所感受到的肺部压力。我们为他进行了手术,修复了他的食道和横膈膜,手术很成功,他的症状也得到了显著改善。
