Patient's question:
Two days ago, I suddenly had stomach bloating pain. When walking home, my right lower back started to hurt, and I initially thought it was a muscle cramp. However, the pain worsened at night. On the third day, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was somewhat like cholecystitis, but the ultrasound showed that the gallbladder was normal. What are the treatment methods for stomach bloating?Doctor's answer:
Gas bloating mainly depends on the cause. If it's in the elderly, there is often insufficient gastrointestinal motility and constipation. In this case, medications to promote gastrointestinal motility and laxatives can be taken to ensure bowel movement is smooth. It's also advisable to drink more water. For patients who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery, follow-up endoscopy is necessary to check if there is a recurrence of gastrointestinal tumors, or if postoperative adhesive intestinal obstruction or incomplete intestinal obstruction has occurred. Some patients may also have poor digestive function and indigestion, in which case digestive enzymes can be added to aid in food digestion.
