Patient's question:
I'm running a small business myself, and sometimes because of being busy, I can't have dinner on time. It might be a long-term issue, which could be harmful to my stomach. Recently, I've been feeling bloated in my stomach frequently, and even after eating a little, I burp. I often feel stomach pain. I want to ask what to do about the bloating, burping, and stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
It's gastritis, a manifestation of insufficient gastric motility. Insufficient gastric motility leads to food retention in the stomach, causing bloating. Insufficient gastric motility also results in stomach gas rising upwards, causing belching. It is recommended that you visit the gastroenterology department of a local reputable hospital for a thorough examination. If you don't want to have an endoscopy, you can opt for a barium meal. To confirm the diagnosis and receive timely treatment, the primary focus should be on enhancing gastric motility, while also complementing it with traditional Chinese medicine to regulate stomach gas. In addition to symptomatic treatment for bloating, patients should pay attention to dietary aspects, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
