Patient's question:
Medical History (main symptoms, onset time): Over a week ago, I felt very hungry and painful, so I didn't have dinner. I felt full for about two hours, and after eating only a few bites of the meal, I felt full. My stomach felt bloated. By night, I was very hungry and my stomach was still bloated, making it hard to sleep. Eating a few bites of food helped a lot. Recently, whenever I feel hungry, I get bloated and painful. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to the inability of clear qi to ascend and the inability of turbid qi to rise. The condition is gradually worsening, and it is essential to receive proper treatment to achieve a cure. Avoid delaying treatment until the condition becomes severe or irreversible. Conventional treatments are often difficult to ( means "cure" or "" in Chinese, but it seems to be a typo and should be "" which means "eliminate" or "" which means "eradicate"). Instead, they only provide symptom relief. Some stomach medications may even worsen the damage to the gastric mucosa, leading to prolonged treatment without improvement or even worsening of the condition. Traditional Chinese medicine offers very unique and insightful treatment methods using traditional Chinese herbs. I recommend using traditional Chinese herb black alum and black.
