Patient's question:
These past few days, I've had dry mouth and a bitter taste in my mouth. Drinking water doesn't help at all; it's no different than not drinking water. At night, I also get stomach pain that's excruciating.Doctor's answer:
Nighttime abdominal pain is often a symptom of duodenal ulcer. Thirst should be considered as a potential sign of diabetes. Diabetes can repeatedly occur due to continuous urine production, leading to dehydration and causing thirst. If the temporary living environment has excessively high indoor temperatures, thirst may also recur. It is recommended to undergo gastroscopy and blood collection for blood sugar testing. The gastroscopy examination must be performed on an empty stomach. At the same time, it is essential to change unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits, as well as sleep patterns, to alleviate the condition fundamentally.
