Patient's question:
One day, I didn't have lunch, and I ate dinner a bit late, feeling a bit full. Then, every day, I started experiencing stomach pain. It would stabilize after eating, but after a while, the pain would start again. It lasted for about 5 or 6 days. Since the training was too busy, I didn't have time to check it carefully. Please help me—what should I do about stomach pain caused by poor diet?Doctor's answer:
Peptic ulcer is characterized by stomach pain before meals and relief after meals. You can first undergo an endoscopy for diagnosis. If it's not a peptic ulcer, it's likely gastritis. If your stool isn't black, the likelihood of a peptic ulcer is significantly reduced. It's not a serious condition.After diagnosis, medication and dietary adjustments can be prescribed. Avoid spicy, irritating foods, as well as cold, sweet, and sugary foods. For severe stomach pain, it's recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect.
