Patient's question:
A month ago, the elderly person developed herpes zoster on their waist. The blisters healed, but the waist still hurts. Various tests and MRI scans were conducted, but no major problems were found. Recently, the stomach is always bloated, and there are no other symptoms. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it could be shingles. The discomfort might be caused by gastritis, or it might not be completely cured. It's best to have an endoscopy.Hello, if the endoscopy doesn't reveal any issues, based on your consultation and symptoms, they are likely due to chronic gastritis and inflammation of the duodenal bulb, which are symptoms of gastrointestinal bloating. Treatment includes:
1. Dietary control – avoid spicy, irritating foods and greasy foods.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise and get adequate rest while maintaining a calm mood.
It could also be indigestion.
