Patient's question:
I have occasional stomach pain. Sometimes, even if I eat dinner on time and it's not too hot or cold, I still get stomach pain. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering the high possibility of gastric ulcer and the presence of ulcerated erosion, the most critical issue at the moment is not taking medication, but rather undergoing a gastroscopy for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. If it is a gastric ulcer, further testing for HP (Helicobacter pylori) should be conducted. If positive, treatment for HP eradication is necessary. Additionally, a stool routine examination should be performed, and if blood in the stool is detected, a complete blood count should be checked to assess for anemia caused by chronic blood loss.Survival care: The prognosis for ulcer disease is generally favorable. In addition to treating gastric pain, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate the recovery process.
