Patient's question:
A week ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told I had gastritis. I started taking medication, but it hasn't improved at all. Last night, I didn't sleep well due to acid reflux and stomach pain. Below are the results from my last detailed check-up. Is it serious? Why does it still hurt even after taking medication? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the condition, gastritis has been diagnosed, and a careful examination revealed Helicobacter pylori infection. Since your condition has not been controlled, the symptoms have not improved. Recommendation: Under the guidance of a gastroenterologist, take standardized medication to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, and undergo a four-drug anti-inflammatory and acid-reducing treatment with close observation. Avoid spicy, coffee, strong tea, alcohol, and other foods and medications that stimulate the stomach. Regular follow-up tests are recommended. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with gastritis also need to pay attention to maintaining proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
