Patient's question:
Menstruation is already delayed by three days. The past few days, my stomach has been uncomfortable, feeling bloated, with frequent belching and a loss of appetite. Lately, my stomach has improved slightly, but my lower abdomen sometimes aches. However, there is no sensation of bloating, sharp pain, or stabbing pain in my breasts. Could the stomach discomfort and belching be due to pregnancy or gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Consider pregnancy in the early stages. It cannot be diagnosed solely based on symptoms. It is recommended that you use a pregnancy test kit for confirmation. For severe gastritis patients, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and minimize the consumption of frozen products. Pay attention to drinking plenty of plain water, eating more fruits and vegetables, and getting adequate rest.
