Patient's question:
For over two months, my stomach and abdomen have been bloated, hard, and painful. I feel hungry, but eating causes stomach pain!! I am a hairdresser, and I usually don't eat dinner on a regular schedule—does that have anything to do with it? If I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, what should I get tested for? What should I pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
According to your description. Regarding the situation you are facing, if you go to the hospital for a thorough examination, I suggest you make an appointment with the gastroenterology department and have an endoscopy performed, as this is the clearest way to diagnose it. In your case, while it may be difficult to maintain a regular lifestyle due to your training, you should try your best to keep it as regular as possible, drink more water, avoid spicy, irritating, and overly greasy foods, and always maintain regular bowel movements. Based on the results of the endoscopy, treatment should be provided accordingly.
