Patient's question:
Dad is 65 years old this year. Every time after dinner, he always feels nauseous and wants to vomit. He only eats until he is 70% full, not overeating. Recently, he has also noticed that his complexion is quite yellow, and he looks very tired. Even without eating anything spicy, he often complains of stomach problems. At his age, how can we deal with the recurrence of stomach and spleen disharmony?Doctor's answer:
From a Western medical perspective, this situation should be associated with certain symptoms of the digestive system. It indicates the possibility of digestive system disorders, such as inflammation commonly found in the elderly, chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, or related conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to visit the gastroenterology department of a hospital for a thorough examination, such as an endoscopy, abdominal MRI, liver function tests, and other relevant tests. Then, based on the different causes, different treatment plans should be adopted.
