Chronic diarrhea, lower back pain, and left hypochondriac pain for the past few days, causing referred pain with breathing. No trauma involved. My father is 60 years old this year. He had stomach problems in his middle age. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Based on your statement, considering his age, the diagnosis is Spleen and Kidney Yang deficiency syndrome. You can take Gui Fu Li Zhong Wan for nourishment and support, while also applying moxibustion to Guanyuan, Qihai, Shenque, Zusanli, and Sanyinjiao acupoints. Since the patient is directly affected by stomach problems, we should actively conduct thorough examinations and treatments without avoiding medical consultation. If the stomach issues persist despite treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan. Additionally, a light diet should be maintained during daily life.
