What is the reason for stomach pain when hungry?

Patient's question:

Stomach pain, it hurts when I'm hungry, and it also hurts when I pressed a certain part last night. I had gastritis one or two years ago, and it's coming back again. I haven't gone to the hospital, just bought some sucralfate from a pharmacy but haven't taken it yet. Can I just take some aluminum hydroxide magnesium directly?

Doctor's answer:

This stomach pain may be caused by various reasons such as gastritis, stomach ulcer, or stomach spasm. If the nature and pattern of the pain have changed compared to before, it is best to have another endoscopy examination and then confirm the medication for treatment. It is recommended that you go to the local hospital's gastroenterology department for a follow-up visit, improve the configuration, and conduct a thorough examination. Then, based on the examination results, specific medication guidance can be provided. Maintain regular meals and bowel movements, avoid alcohol, and refrain from consuming spicy food.
Doctor's inquiry: Have you had another endoscopy and breath test recently? In fact, having stomach pain is not (terrible), and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
