Patient's question:
Lab tests and careful examination results: Not yet diagnosed, but personally feel like there might be a stomach problem! Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Not treated What kind of help do you need: My mother also has a stomach problem, and my two uncles passed away (all due to stomach cancer). I want to ask, can stomach problems be hereditary?Doctor's answer:
Chronic stomach diseases, such as gastritis, atrophic gastritis, and ulcers, have not yet been clearly identified in terms of their causes. They may be related to heredity across generations. Even if there is a certain connection with heredity, the primary factors are still determined by postnatal dietary habits. Therefore, it is essential to appropriately adjust one's diet, prevent harmful stimuli, and digest vitamins such as C and B. Currently, it is recommended to undergo thorough examinations like a gastroscopy to clarify the condition before additional treatments. Specific actions should follow the guidance of clinical diagnostic physicians. The above information is for reference. For patients, if the symptoms of stomach disease are severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered. Otherwise, the condition may recur. It is hoped that the answers provided above can help everyone. Thank you.
