Patient's question:
I have had stomach problems for 3 or 4 years, usually during winter and spring. At first, I thought it was stomach cold, feeling stomach acid and stomach pain, which would relieve after meals but were more noticeable before meals. In the past, a doctor told me I had duodenal ulcers. How can I completely cure stomach problems?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of stomach pain are gastritis and ulcers, so it is important to have a gastroscopy promptly for diagnosis. The management of stomach diseases is even more important than treatment, so we should adhere to the following in daily life: balance work and rest, ensure sufficient deep sleep and rest, avoid anger and emotional excitement, and refrain from spicy, overly acidic, fried foods, as well as excessively hot or cold foods. Avoid coffee, alcohol, and smoking. Practice eating smaller, more frequent meals, maintain regular bowel movements, and base your diet on nutrient-rich, high-calorie, easily digestible, and non-irritating foods. In fact, having a stomach disease is not at all; patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness.
