Patient's question:
When it hurts, I feel gas in my stomach, coming and going in pain. Applying a hot water bag instantly helps a lot. I've had stomach problems for many years. Recently, the pain has been more frequent. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
How long have you been experiencing these symptoms? Are there any other discomforts, such as: abdominal pain, acid reflux, belching, burping, nausea, or dry heaving? Is your diet regular recently? Have you been eating spicy, greasy, or heavy foods? Is your bowel movement normal? Any black stools? You can take medication and seek treatment. If possible, I recommend you have an endoscopy and an H. pylori test. In your daily life, pay attention to a regular diet, easy-to-digest, nutritious, and light meals. Drink plenty of warm water. For people with stomach problems, it's important to take medication that suits their symptoms while also using dietary therapy as a complementary treatment. In daily eating habits, it's necessary to have a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
