Patient's question:
Last night, before dinner, I ate a lot of grapes. After dinner, I drank a glass of milk (see the image below). At 2 a.m. today, I experienced dry retching again, and the vomit was purple and viscous.Doctor's answer:
With a history of diabetes, consuming many grapes, and drinking milk after dinner, dry heaving has recurred, and the vomit is purple, likely containing food residue. First, blood glucose levels need to be measured to assess the situation. Currently, dry heaving can be treated with Domperidone to enhance gastrointestinal motility and stop vomiting. Soft foods can be consumed. Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and have a proper diet.
