Patient's question:
I have been experiencing hiccups and stomach pain for nearly half a year. On September 29, 2011, I underwent a thorough examination with a gastroscopy and colonoscopy at Huashan Hospital. The gastroscopy pathology confirmed: (antrum) chronic atrophic gastritis, mild intestinal metaplasia, accompanied by numerous plasma cell infiltrations. The colonoscopy showed everything normal. After taking some medication, the symptoms persisted until now—my stomach still has mild pain daily, and the hiccups are still there. What should I take?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric spasm, reflux gastritis, atrophic gastritis, stomach cold (solid cold, deficiency cold), stomach prolapse, etc., all have symptoms of stomach pain. It is recommended that you diagnose the cause and then treat it accordingly. For patients, if the stomach pain condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of stomach pain. In addition, patients also need to maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
