Patient's question:
Stomach pain, stomach bloating, for several years now, currently relying on medication to suppress it. Pain and bloating if not taking medication, wondering if surgery is an option?Doctor's answer:
This should have been diagnosed through an endoscopy, and the diagnosis should be clear. Generally, gastric ulcers require strict treatment from the internal medicine department first. However, if they recur repeatedly over a long period, surgery may be an option. Surgery is possible, but the pros and cons after the operation must be considered. After partial gastrectomy, digestive function may not be as good. For gastric ulcers, treatment often cannot be completely cured, so they recur repeatedly. During treatment, dietary and psychological adjustments are also necessary. In addition, during the treatment of gastric ulcers, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry.
