Patient's question:
I have bile reflux gastritis. I had a thorough examination with an endoscopy under anesthesia three months ago, but my stomach hasn't healed yet. I want to have another detailed examination, but I'm afraid that the endoscopy will make my stomach worse. Everyone says that having an endoscopy can harm the stomach. Besides, I had an endoscopy three months ago, and now can I still have one? Will doing so many procedures be very bad for my stomach?Doctor's answer:
Initial consideration is that bile reflux gastritis has been present for over three months. Medication intake has not been effective. Now, I would like to undergo an endoscopy for a thorough examination. Is it possible? Since you have not had an endoscopy for a long time, only three months. It is not necessary to undergo an endoscopy for a thorough examination at the moment. It can be considered. Medication treatment, Amoxicillin capsules. Omeprazole capsules. Bismuth potassium citrate capsules. Domperidone tablets. Anti-inflammatory and gallbladder-relieving tablets. Vitamin B6 tablets. There are many treatment methods for gastritis, but because the patient's symptoms are different, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examination and diagnosis in order to treat the symptoms accordingly.
