Patient's question:
One year of stomach bloating, stomach pain, back pain diagnosed with chronic superficial gastritis, gastric erosion, chronic esophagitisDoctor's answer:
Stomach pain is often caused by irregular eating habits that damage the spleen and stomach. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, while the stomach governs reception. When the spleen is weak, its transportation function declines, and the food excreted cannot be absorbed in time, leading to abdominal discomfort and a lack of appetite for dinner. Obstruction of the organ Qi can also cause stomach pain. It is recommended to follow the principle of strengthening the spleen and soothing the stomach under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, while maintaining a calm mood, balancing work and rest, and avoiding extremely cold foods. For patients with severe stomach bloating, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
