Patient's question:
I don't know what's wrong with me?Doctor's answer:
You may be suffering from neurotic vomiting, also known as psychogenic vomiting, which is recurrent vomiting without any organic cause and is more common in women. The treatment for neurotic vomiting mainly includes: correcting patients' unhealthy dietary habits, guiding them to establish a good lifestyle and living environment, and reducing stimulating factors; conducting necessary psychological therapy to comfort patients, alleviate their concerns, enhance their confidence in overcoming the disease, and build a good doctor-patient relationship, with suggestive therapy possible when necessary; some patients may be given sedatives or antidepressants, while those with delayed gastric emptying can be treated with medications such as metoclopramide, domperidone, or cyproheptadine, and phenytoin. For frequent vomiting, anticholinergic drugs like atropine or scopolamine can be added. Chinese herbal formulas such as modified Pinellia ternata and Poria cocos decoctions, as well as acupuncture and physical therapy, can also be used in combination with treatment.
