Patient's question:
I have chronic superficial gastritis, but also kidney deficiency. Today, my back suddenly hurts very badly, specifically at the spot directly opposite the nipple of the chest. I want to ask if this is caused by gastritis or due to kidney deficiency. Or is it triggered by recent sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis primarily manifests as upper abdominal pain and a feeling of fullness or discomfort, which is more pronounced after meals. Kidney deficiency mainly presents as soreness or pain in the waist and knees. Neither condition typically causes back pain. If this is just a one-time occurrence and there are no further issues, it might be nothing more than an accidental muscle strain or overexertion. However, if it recurs in the future, it is recommended to visit a hospital for an electrocardiogram check-up.Doctor's inquiry: Gastritis is a condition that is not easily cured. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only by doing so can they boost their confidence in combating gastritis and believe that recovery is possible.
