Patient's question:
My hometown woman, 50 years old, suspected of having a gastric perforation and gastric ulcer. What is the condition of this disease and how should it be carefully examined and treated?Doctor's answer:
The patient has a gastric ulcer and a gastric perforation. If there is a gastric perforation, the abdominal pain is very severe and unbearable. If such symptoms appear, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly, undergo an abdominal X-ray scan, which can reveal free gas in the subdiaphragmatic region. This condition requires emergency surgery. If none of the above conditions are present, it is not a gastric perforation but rather a gastric ulcer. A gastroscopy can be performed for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. After confirming the diagnosis, targeted medication and treatment can be administered.
