Patient's question:
I have superficial gastritis and bile reflux, but I pay attention to my diet, and now I generally don't feel pain. However, later I suddenly found that my stools were always soft and wet, but I didn't have much abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting, and my bowel movements were regular once a day, just that they couldn't form the so-called banana shape. Worried, I had a colonoscopy, which revealed sigmoiditis. The doctor said it wasn't very serious and that taking some Huanglian tablets would be fine. But after taking them for four days, it didn't help, so I switched to another medication. How should I take the medication properly?Doctor's answer:
Allergies to Western medicine for gastritis, while Chinese medicine causes significant intestinal damage, it is recommended to follow a dietary approach. Gastritis not only requires treatment but also needs regulation. Despite taking large amounts of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, patients with gastrointestinal diseases find that taking medication is beneficial, but when they stop, the condition worsens, leading to acute gastritis turning into chronic gastritis, or even stubborn gastrointestinal diseases. Most traditional medications contain antibiotics, which are effective for acute gastritis. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If gastritis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
