Patient's question:
I've been feeling unwell lately. Sometimes I have a bloated, painful upper abdomen, accompanied by intermittent nausea. On several occasions, I even experienced dry heaves. Recently, I've also been frequently experiencing acid reflux. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said it's gastritis. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Superficial gastritis belongs to stomach pain, liver-gastric disharmony, food stagnation in the stomach, or irregular eating habits, such as excessive hunger or overeating, leading to accumulation and blockage in the stomach, which causes recurrent pain. In cases of physical weakness, the spleen and stomach are weak, and the qi is constricted, with acid and blood stagnation. It promotes blood circulation, reduces bloating, activates blood flow, nourishes yin, and benefits the stomach. Clinical diagnosis and treatment are highly effective. The condition of gastritis is very serious, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for targeted treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care training, proper diet, and avoiding worsening the condition.
