Patient's question:
It's just that the bowel movement frequency is high. Sometimes it's formed, sometimes not. It also comes with sticky liquid, and occasionally there's a bit of blood. The color of the stool is normal. After using the restroom, I still feel the urge to go, but nothing comes out, or it's just a little bit. Every time I use the restroom, I feel the need to talk nonsense, as if I have a sense of urgency and fullness, like something is in the anal area. When I press my hand on the abdomen, I can hear the intestines gurgling. Sometimes, the entire abdomen feels like it's in severe pain, as if someone is pulling the intestines inside. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of bile reflux gastritis is challenging. It tends to recur frequently. Currently, there are no medications available that prevent relapse after treatment. Therefore, after successful treatment, it is essential to maintain proper care to prevent recurrence. For example, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, or eating foods/drugs that are harsh on the stomach can still lead to recurrent gastritis. Additionally, avoid excessive use of antacids to prevent the development of atrophic gastritis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be quite effective and is worth trying. In fact, having gastritis is not as terrifying as it may seem. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated appropriately, the chances of stabilizing the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
