Patient's question:
I had my appendix removed in May of this year. After one month, I started experiencing intermittent pain 2 centimeters to the left of the navel. The pain occurs whenever I wake up in the morning and also at irregular times during the day. I have tried various stomach medications, but they don't help. Neither the county nor regional hospitals were able to find any issues. Could the experts please advise on how to resolve this? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
It is related to intestinal spasm. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital's internal medicine department for examination to determine the cause. In this case, pay attention to the possibility of gastritis, intestinal infection, and other causes, as well as the possibility of indigestion. Oral medication such as Yan Ke Ning can be used for treatment. Do not drink alcohol, do not eat spicy or other irritating foods, eat slowly when eating, apply appropriate heat to the abdomen, drink more water, and exercise more.
