Patient's question:
I have had stomach acid and stomach pain for six years. When the weather is cool, I get stomach acid and stomach pain after meals. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Stomach pain cannot be ruled out as coming from peptic ulcers or gastric ulcers. It is necessary to have an endoscopy for a thorough diagnosis. If necessary, check if it is an infection with Helicobacter pylori. The specific symptoms of gastric ulcers include upper abdominal pain, located below the xiphoid process (sternum) or around the upper midline of the abdomen, presenting as burning, gnawing, or hunger-like dull pain, distending pain, or dull pain. The pain can be relieved by defecation, drinking water, or consuming alkaline foods (such as steamed buns). An endoscopy is required for a thorough diagnosis. In addition to treating stomach acid, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
