Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Mental state is okay, appetite is fine, food intake is fine, had black, tarry stools two days ago. After careful examination, it was found to be a gastric ulcer, but it's positive [for something, e.g., H. pylori]. Now, how should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Peptic ulcers are often characterized by upper abdominal pain, which can be burning, gnawing, or dull, aching, or cramping. The pain may be relieved by defecation, drinking water, or consuming alkaline foods (such as steamed buns). Other possible symptoms include heartburn, acid reflux, belching, loss of appetite, weight loss, anemia, occasional nausea, and the passage of black or tar-like stools.For your condition, it is recommended to undergo an endoscopic examination of the stomach on an empty stomach, along with routine stool tests and a fecal occult blood test. During this period, it is advisable to avoid fried, pickled, cold, or irritating foods. Maintain a regular diet with fixed meal times and appropriate temperatures, and chew food thoroughly.
