Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some acid reflux and stomach pain. Here are the results of today's thorough examination. Do I need surgery for the cardia polyp? Is the area behind the gastric antrum, about 1 cm in size, a polyp or an area of erosion? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of symptoms, stomach pain and acid reflux, the endoscopy report suggests a clinical diagnosis and recommends surgical treatment. On the other hand, surgical treatment is recommended to remove the cardia polyps. Additionally, it is suggested to combine a breath test to understand if there is Helicobacter pylori infection. Medication treatment for gastritis and stomach pain is very severe, and it is recommended that the patient seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care training, proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
