Patient's question:
What should I do about stomach pain? My stomach is bloated and painful. I am a 23-week pregnant woman and I don't dare to take medicine.Doctor's answer:
Main consideration is gastritis. In your case, since you are pregnant, it is not advisable to take Western medicine for treatment. It is recommended to visit a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to get Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese medicine has no adverse effects on the fetus, so there is no need to worry. The diet should be based on lightness, avoiding spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding getting chilled. In addition to active treatment, patients with gastritis also need to pay attention to maintaining proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients.
