Patient's question:
My father is 70 years old this year. He used to occasionally have stomach pain, and taking a few Omeprazole pills would relieve it. A few days ago in the morning, he had black stools again and immediately went to the hospital. The doctor suspected gastrointestinal bleeding, and a careful examination of the stool revealed blood cells. On the third day, an endoscopy was performed, which showed two ulcers in the gastric antrum and one ulcer in the duodenum. Two samples were taken for biopsy, and the results showed moderate superficial inflammation in the gastric antrum. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the elderly person has superficial gastritis and gastric ulcer. If left untreated and allowed to expand, there is also a possibility of it turning cancerous. It is recommended to go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination and to follow the prescribed medication and treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. Additionally, pay attention to a regular and light diet, and avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods. Furthermore, during the treatment period for patients with stomach pain, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. The patient must pay close attention to their own diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
