Patient's question:
At night, the illness flared up and was extremely painful, making it almost impossible to sleep the entire night. Moreover, I couldn't eat dinner; every time I tried, it was very painful, and I couldn't digest it properly, so I could only drink some porridge. I also don't know about that?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, your symptoms are likely caused by an imbalance in the functions of the body's organs and meridians, as well as an imbalance in qi, blood, and endocrine systems. "Pain arises from blockage, and blockage leads to pain." It is recommended to consult a renowned TCM practitioner locally for a thorough diagnosis and differentiation of symptoms. A pure TCM comprehensive evaluation and treatment, combining herbal decoctions and acupuncture, would be ideal. If the diagnosis is accurate and the medication is appropriate, one decoction of herbal medicine may alleviate or completely eliminate the symptoms.Doctor's inquiry: In addition to timely treatment, patients with gastric ulcers should also pay attention to maintaining proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients effectively.
