Nizhny Novgorod residents began to be hospitalized due to overeating eggs on Easter.

      On April 12, 2026, 13:12 Society In Nizhny Novgorod, the first cases of people seeking medical help after overeating boiled eggs during Easter have been recorded. This was reported by medical expert and chief editor of IA "Statsionar-Press" Alexey Nikонов on his Telegram channel.

      After the Great Lent, some residents abruptly return to their usual diet and overindulge in festive foods. As a result, they seek help in surgical hospitals with complaints of heaviness, abdominal pain, and digestive problems.

      Doctors note that a large amount of protein can place a serious burden on the gastrointestinal tract. In some cases, this leads to attacks of pancreatitis or cholecystitis. People with gallbladder diseases are particularly at risk — they may face complications that could lead to hospitalization in intensive care.

      Doctors recommend maintaining moderation in eating after Lent and gradually returning to a normal diet.

      If overeating has already occurred, specialists advise:

      - drink more still water;

      - temporarily refrain from heavy foods;

      - prefer light dishes — cereals, soups, vegetables;

      - use enzyme preparations and sorbents if necessary.

      If severe pain or deterioration in well-being occurs, it is essential to seek medical help.

      Earlier, experts explained how to exit the Great Lent without harming health and soul.
