Patient's question:
I have had a stomach ulcer for over a year. Recently, I don't know what I ate wrong. The left side of my stomach is very cold, like ice. It has a slight stinging pain. Now I'm also sweating profusely. I went to the community hospital, and the doctor told me to go to a big hospital. How should I be treated now?Doctor's answer:
Gastric ulcer falls under the category of chronic stomach conditions, and it is generally difficult to cure with conventional medications. Standard treatment may temporarily alleviate symptoms but can actually cause further harm to the gastric mucosa. Long-term use can worsen the condition, so it is essential to receive proper treatment to achieve a complete cure. Gastric ulcer is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely and symptomatic treatment according to their doctor's recommendations. Additionally, paying attention to dietary issues is crucial—avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent further aggravation of the condition.
