Patient's question:
Gastric disease. Mild congestion of the gastric body mucosa, with a polyp of approximately 0.2×0.2 (cm) size observed on the greater curvature side. Congestion of the gastric antrum, with dark red mucosal bleeding spots seen. Congestion of the duodenal bulb mucosa. Conclusion: Duodenitis, superficial gastritis (hemorrhagic type). Biopsy report: Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the gastric antrum. Can people with gastric disease eat Xiao Jian Zhong Granules?Doctor's answer:
This situation requires speculation based on the patient's TCM syndrome type. The use of traditional Chinese patent medicine also requires syndrome differentiation and should be used under the guidance of a TCM practitioner. According to TCM theory, if a patient is diagnosed with spleen yang deficiency, this traditional Chinese patent medicine can be used. It is not appropriate to use traditional Chinese patent medicine solely based on Western medical examination results.In addition, during the treatment of gastritis, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of gastritis.
