Patient's question:
I have had stomach bloating for 10 days, and despite treatment for 10 days, it hasn't been effective. I went to a pharmacy and got some medicine, but it didn't help after taking it for a week. I want to have an endoscopy, but the doctor won't do it. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can cause stomach bloating, such as food residue and insufficient gastric motility. Endoscopy also requires certain conditions. It is recommended that you take medication for a few days and pay attention to your diet at the same time. Eat more easily digestible foods, such as shiitake mushrooms, which can help with bowel movement. In fact, having stomach bloating is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
