Patient's question:
Doctor, he is 52 years old, male, with a history of gastritis. He has been experiencing abdominal pain around 6 a.m. (around the navel area) for about two years. His bowel movements are normal (usually once a day, sometimes twice, but less frequently). He cannot sleep early and feels better after getting up and eating breakfast. He has been checked for slow colitis. What medicine would be good for him? How should his gastritis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Middle-aged male patient, recurrent peri-umbilical pain when hungry, relieved after eating. Your abdominal pain is hunger pain, which is a common pain pattern of duodenal ulcer. Treatment mainly focuses on acid suppression and mucosal protection, but it's best to test for Helicobacter pylori, as combined anti-HP treatment can be more effective. For patients with gastric diseases, in addition to timely treatment, they also need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Only with sufficient deep sleep can you quickly get away from this disease.
