Patient's question:
These past few days, I've had stomach pain, and now it's almost gone, but my stomach still feels a bit uncomfortable. Besides the fact that there's no need for a gastroscopy, I'm worried that I might not be able to eat spicy foods anymore. So, I can only eat light meals. Is there a painless option for a gastroscopy?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the stomach pain and discomfort are likely related to gastritis and indigestion. It is recommended to undergo an endoscopy for a clear diagnosis. If it is gastritis, avoid consuming irritating foods. During the treatment period, the diet should be based on easily digestible foods and maintain regularity. Avoid alcohol consumption. In addition, during the treatment of stomach pain, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must avoid excessive stress and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the stomach pain.
