Patient's question:
Improved, intermittent episodes occurred in the middle few years, self-medicated with over-the-counter drugs, with periods of improvement and worsening. Today's gastroscopy revealed chronic flat erosion gastritis of the antrum and duodenal bulb ulcer (previously inflammation). The doctor prescribed omeprazole, magnesium hydroxide-aluminum carbonate tablets, and traditional Chinese medicine: Shuang Jiang Wei Tong Wan. Please ask: 1. Are these medications appropriate for the condition? 2. How long should the medication be taken? 3. Is there a high risk of malignancy for this disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is generally difficult to cure with conventional medicine. Medications like Rabeprazole and Aluminum Hydroxide Tablets primarily work by neutralizing stomach acid, providing only temporary relief of symptoms. Stomach acid is an essential digestive fluid, and when neutralized, it can lead to increased secretion. The hydrochloric acid in stomach acid is a strong acid with high corrosivity. Therefore, long-term use of conventional medicine can cause excessive stomach acid secretion, further damaging the gastric mucosa, leading to prolonged illness and even worsening of the condition. Prolonged illness may even result in cancer.Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated many unique treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. I recommend using traditional Chinese herbs such as Hei Fan, Hei Zao, Walnut Kernels, Genpei, Dang Gui, Sha Ren, Hou Pu, San Ling, Chuan Shan Jia, Chen Qu, Mai Ya, Shang Jia, Xia Jia, Hong Hua, Hai Nan Chen, Tie Dan Fen, Bee Pollen, Honey, and Bee Wax for combined treatment. These herbs are effective, provide rapid results, and can completely cure the condition.
When used together, these herbs can enhance gastrointestinal function, promote peristalsis, rapidly repair the gastric mucosa, heal ulcers, and strengthen the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier, thereby achieving a complete cure.
