Patient's question:
After eating, my stomach pain disappears, I lose weight quickly, and I have no appetite. This is an old stomach problem. I had a recurrence several years ago, but it has been relatively well-managed. However, recently, due to many things, my diet has been irregular. Will it recur?Doctor's answer:
The Xuanfu Dazhe Decoction from Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Cold Damage is originally from the Shanghan Lun, originally used to treat "swelling from cold damage, after vomiting, purgation, or resolution, if there is palpitations and a feeling of hardness in the lower abdomen with persistent belching." Main indications: weakness of stomach qi, internal obstruction of phlegm and turbidity. Palpitations and persistent belching. Clinical diagnosis and flexible application: upward flow of stomach qi, dry vomiting with saliva, belching. Left Guan pulse is fine and wiry, right Guan pulse is scattered and weak, etc. Western medical examinations reveal mucosal erosion, glandular expansion, and intestinal gland fibrosis. There are many treatment methods for gastritis and gastric ulcer, but since the symptoms of patients are different, the treatment methods adopted are also different. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the patient as soon as possible so that the treatment can be targeted.
