Patient's question:
I've had stomach pain for a long time, and it hasn't gotten better even after taking medicine. I wonder how it should be treated. I hope to be cured of superficial chronic gastritis. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, further careful examination is needed to clarify whether there are any changes, to avoid delaying the condition. It is recommended to decide on a follow-up visit to the Gastroenterology department of a formal private traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Undergo a gastroscopy for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. If the condition permits, you can use traditional Chinese medicine treatment under the guidance of an experienced TCM practitioner. If you are not tolerant, acupuncture treatment can be understood. In daily life, ensure regular three meals, adequate food intake; balanced nutrition, light diet; avoid raw, cold, spicy, greasy, irritating, and difficult-to-digest foods. I hope my advice is helpful to you.
