Patient's question:
Last October, I was hospitalized for 9 days due to gastric bleeding. It has been 5 months since I was discharged, but I still feel uncomfortable on the left side of my stomach. It's a hard-to-describe sensation. How should I take care of myself after being discharged following gastric bleeding?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, stomach bleeding is due to congestion and erosion of the gastric mucosa. To increase the number of skin breaks, it is important to pay attention to the protection of the gastric mucosa in daily life. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods such as onions, garlic, ginger, and chili peppers; avoid foods that produce a lot of acid, such as desserts, chives, and honey; chew less gum; eat smaller, more frequent meals at dinner; and avoid hard, difficult-to-digest foods. There are several treatments for stomach bleeding, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the right treatment can be applied.
