Patient's question:
My mother is seventy years old this year. In the past two years, every winter she has felt severe stomach bloating and fullness. She went to the hospital for a check-up and was told she has a slightly sunken stomach. The medication didn't help, and daily exercise also had little effect. She feels hungry when she doesn't eat and gets bloated and painful when she does. It's driving her crazy.Doctor's answer:
Bloating may be caused by conditions such as gastritis, pyloric obstruction, or poor intestinal motility. It is recommended to have a regular diet with small, frequent meals, and medication to enhance gastrointestinal motility can also be used. If necessary, a gastroscopy should be performed to accurately diagnose the patient's symptoms of bloating. We should actively carry out examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If the bloating does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
