Patient's question:
At 39 weeks and 4 days, I'm experiencing heartburn, a burning sensation in my stomach, a feeling of fullness in my abdomen, and frequent urges to urinate. When I sit down, the baby keeps moving.Doctor's answer:
The term "gastric acid" generally refers to symptoms caused by an excess of digestive fluid in the stomach, which is due to the overstimulation of the gastric mucosa by excessive digestive fluid. It typically manifests as a burning sensation in the stomach, and in severe cases, it may lead to acid reflux. If you experience such symptoms, it is recommended to use medications that inhibit gastric acid production and pay attention to dietary habits, avoiding spicy foods and fried foods.
