Patient's question:
Stomach pain and heartburn for a year. A year ago, an endoscopy revealed chronic superficial gastritis and bile reflux. The Helicobacter pylori test was negative. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Chronic superficial gastritis with bile reflux falls under the category of chronic stomach conditions. Your situation is primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to stomach pain and heartburn, which is often difficult to cure with general medications. It is recommended that you go to a formal Grade III-A hospital for a comprehensive examination. In fact, having stomach pain is not frightening. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided at an early stage, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
