Patient's question:
Old stomach disease, excessive belching, accompanied by acidic fluid, burning sensation in the stomach, recently the stool has turned black. What medicine treats stomach disease?Doctor's answer:
To consider those with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is recommended to have a stool test at the hospital to confirm whether the black stool is caused by gastrointestinal bleeding. If so, it is necessary to identify the cause of the bleeding and provide timely treatment. I am not sure if the superficial gastritis with polyps is the result of a careful examination after the stool turns black. If it is, it is necessary to consider the polyp bleeding and recommend polypectomy under endoscopy. If it is a previous examination result, it is recommended to have a stool test while also undergoing a follow-up gastroscopy. Additionally, for patients with gastrointestinal diseases during treatment, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
