Patient's question:
Since I used to live alone, I didn't have a regular eating habit. I would eat when I was hungry and skip meals when I wasn't. As a result, I developed a stomach problem several years ago. I often experience stomach pain, bloating, and acid reflux. I'm now worried that it might get worse. How can I treat it?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for an endoscopy to investigate the cause of your stomach pain. If it is gastritis, it is important to first regulate your diet, focusing on soft and easily digestible foods. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Drink warm water regularly, keep your abdomen and feet warm, and eat light, easily digestible foods while avoiding raw, cold, hard, spicy, and greasy foods. Try not to get angry and maintain regular meal times. If you have stomach problems, it is best to have them checked by a doctor.
