Patient's question:
I had a gastroscopy for a thorough examination and found erosive gastritis. I've been taking traditional Chinese medicine for a week. Why does it hurt when I press the left abdominal area with my hand? Is it related to the stomach?Doctor's answer:
Due to various endogenous or exogenous hemorrhagic factors leading to increased mucosal blood flow or the destruction of normal mucosal defense mechanisms, and the damage to the gastric mucosa caused by gastric acid and pepsin, the manifestation of erosive gastritis occurs. The recommended treatment is to take Zangling Watermelon Seed Powder, as it primarily helps repair the gastric mucosa, protect the gastric mucosa, and enhance absorption to achieve therapeutic effects. It is important to pay attention to dietary adjustment and maintenance management in daily life, maintain regular and scheduled bowel movements to keep the rhythm of normal absorption. It is absolutely necessary to avoid skipping meals or having irregular eating habits, especially to prevent overeating. Always maintain a calm mood and engage in appropriate physical activity. Gastritis poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light and easily digestible foods. It is hoped that gastritis patients can receive professional treatment.
