Patient's question:
Persistent stomach pain, with pain before and after meals. An ultrasound was performed, showing no abnormalities. A gastroscopy has been scheduled, but it's still pending. I have taken sodium rabeprazole enteric-coated tablets, but there has been no relief. Could this situation possibly be due to internal bleeding or something else?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you may be experiencing gastritis again. It is recommended to have a thorough examination. If there is any skin breakdown or if your stool is black and tarry in color, it is advised to seek medical attention and start with oral omeprazole for treatment. When patients face stomach pain, we should actively take measures for treatment and should not avoid seeking medical help. If the stomach pain persists despite treatment, it is important to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
