Patient's question:
First, there was diarrhea. Two days later, the pain started above the navel, intermittent, and accompanied by diarrhea. Previously, it was just stomach pain. Is it necessary to have an endoscopy or barium meal for stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, if you have stomach discomfort, especially if you have had discomfort in your stomach before, it is best to undergo a thorough examination to confirm what the problem is before implementing symptomatic treatment. An endoscopy is very effective for diagnosing stomach diseases, and only by finding the cause and using symptomatic medication for treatment can the effect be good. In addition, if you have stomach discomfort, you should pay attention to your diet in daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and in addition to not drinking beer, it is best not to smoke either. Your diet should be regular, and avoid overeating. Stomach pain can cause great harm to patients. Once you notice your symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly, and at the same time, pay more attention to self-care, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid irritating foods.
