Patient's question:
I have had gastritis for two years. Last winter, I was diagnosed with bile reflux gastritis, which hasn't improved yet. I also have a hiatal hernia and often experience stomach pain and bloating. The pain is concentrated above the navel, around the navel, and in the lower abdomen, accompanied by constipation. I frequently wake up in the middle of the night due to pain, which can be mild or severe and is hard to bear. What is the situation with my abdominal pain? Do I need an abdominal CT scan?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have bile reflux gastritis, and it has recurred with discomfort in the periumbilical area, etc. In clinical diagnosis, chronic enteritis and irritable bowel syndrome should be considered. It is recommended to undergo an abdominal CT scan for a thorough examination, and ideally, an endoscopy should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In addition to timely treatment for gastritis, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude in facing the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity be reduced and their will to combat the disease strengthened. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to dietary care and monitor changes in symptoms closely, believing that this will surely drive gastritis away.
