Patient's question:
I have been experiencing pain in my upper left abdomen for a long time. I underwent an endoscopy examination, which revealed chronic superficial gastritis. Recently, I don't know how I overexerted myself (I hate playing basketball), and my bowel movements have started to become abnormal. Sometimes it's twice a day, and sometimes it's three times a day. The amount is small, and the stool is not well-formed, like a paste, sometimes a bit sticky, but not diarrhea. It's still the same now.Doctor's answer:

It's best to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases can understand conventional treatment while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in their daily lives. In daily dietary habits, it's crucial to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and never overeat or binge drink.
