Taiwan's unemployment rate has hit a new high, and Hsinchu Science Park employees are experiencing gastrointestinal red alerts! According to a survey, employees in the Hsinchu Science Park face high stress and numerous gastrointestinal issues, with "indigestion," "constipation," and "bloating" ranking as the top three problems. Dr. Ho Yi-Cheng, Director of Family Medicine at Shu-Tien Clinic, noted that indigestion, constipation, and bloating are often overlooked by the general public, but these symptoms may conceal underlying cancer risks. People should take any warning signs from their digestive system seriously and address the root causes.
A survey titled "Hsinchu Science Park Employees' Gastrointestinal Alarm Survey" conducted by a dairy company revealed that 79% of Hsinchu Science Park employees experience stomach discomfort, averaging 6.85 days of stomach pain per month. Alarmingly, 15% suffer from stomach discomfort for up to half a month each month, severely impacting their daily lives and work.
Beyond stomach issues, the survey also found that 54% of Hsinchu Science Park employees struggle with constipation, with most dismissing it as a minor issue not requiring medical attention. Additionally, 8.8% have experienced periods of over a week without bowel movements, and as many as 33% resort to glycerin suppositories to relieve constipation.
Dr. Ho Yi-Cheng emphasized that the three major gastrointestinal symptoms among Hsinchu Science Park employees may indicate underlying digestive diseases, ranging from mild conditions like gastritis and ulcers to severe illnesses such as stomach or colorectal cancer.
While many self-medicate with antacids for stomach discomfort or use glycerin suppositories for constipation, these measures only provide temporary relief without addressing the root cause. If gastrointestinal issues persist, seeking medical diagnosis is essential. Additionally, improving lifestyle, dietary habits, and maintaining gut microbiota balance—such as consuming foods that reduce Helicobacter pylori levels to lower the risk of ulcers or stomach cancer—is the fundamental solution.
