Patient's question:
I've been feeling particularly uncomfortable in my stomach recently. When I had an ultrasound, the doctor said I might have gastritis. What does it mean to follow up with an ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
The doctor suggested that ultrasound follow-up is recommended when the patient's condition is relatively stable or mild, and observation can be chosen as a treatment approach. If the patient discovers any abnormal conditions during the observation period, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient undergoes blood tests during a follow-up visit to the hospital and no abnormalities are found, then the patient may not require special treatment.
