Patient's question:
Pain in the stomach for over a year, endoscopy showed superficial gastritis, and it still hurts now. Do I need another endoscopy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, superficial gastritis is primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, and it is generally difficult to cure with conventional medications. Western medicine mainly works by neutralizing stomach acid, providing only temporary relief of symptoms. Stomach acid is an 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 Western medicine can cause excessive stomach acid secretion, further damaging the gastric mucosa, leading to prolonged illness and even worsening of the condition, with the potential for chronic non-healing and even canceration.Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal medicine have accumulated many unique treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. It is recommended that you adopt a combination of traditional Chinese herbs such as Hei Fan (Chinese realgar), Hei Zao (black jujube), He Tao Ren (walnut kernel), Zhi Zi (gardenia fruit), Dang Gui (angelica sinensis), Sha Ren (cardamom), Hou Pu (cinnamon bark), San Ling (sparganium), Chuan Shan Jia (rhino horn), Chen Qu (pinellia ternata), Mai Ya (malt), Shang Jia (upper tiger bone), Xia Jia (lower tiger bone), Hong Hua (safflower), Hai Nan Chen (Agarwood), Tie Dan Fen (iron gall powder), and Feng Jiao (propolis) for combined treatment. This approach is fast-acting and highly effective, capable of completely curing the condition without recurrence.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
