Patient's question:
My girlfriend has had a stomach problem for 2 years. She told me that her stomach actually hurts and she doesn't have any other symptoms. It hurts just to eat spicy food, and it also hurts when she drinks alcohol. What should she do?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered a gastric ulcer. If possible, you can wait until the pain decreases and have an endoscopy to assist in diagnosis. You can take herbal medicines like Hongtou Jianwei Ling and Weibi Zhi for pain relief in daily life. Your diet should be based on liquid foods, with small, frequent meals and regular bowel movements. Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and avoid foods that are difficult to digest. Stay cheerful and avoid spicy, sour, and irritating foods.In addition, during the treatment of gastric diseases, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. It is essential for the patient to maintain a positive mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the condition.
