Patient's question:
I have had stomach problems for many years. I am around 40 years old, male. I visited a doctor last year and it got better, but it has flared up again recently. What are the issues with recurrent stomach problems?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is likely caused by a deficiency in the spleen and stomach. A deficiency in spleen and stomach qi leads to impaired transportation and transformation, resulting in stomach discomfort. When stomach qi rises, it causes stomach bloating and nausea with the urge to vomit. A weak spleen fails to transport properly, leading to poor appetite.1. Maintain a regular diet and sleep schedule. Avoid cold, hard, greasy, irritating, or spicy foods. Prevent excessive hunger or fullness. After meals, avoid lying down immediately. It is recommended to take a gentle walk and lightly massage your stomach. Always keep a relaxed and pleasant mood. Moderation in sexual activity and adequate physical activity are beneficial. If you smoke or drink alcohol, it is best to quit.
2. It is advisable to have an endoscopy examination.
3. You can use supplements to aid digestion, such as Bao He Wan or Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Wan.
