Patient's question:
I was hospitalized for intravenous infusion treatment for over ten days due to a gastric ulcer. During this period, I kept experiencing nausea and vomiting, with pasty stools that contained bubbles. A colonoscopy revealed no issues. After discharge and returning home, the nausea and vomiting persisted. Since returning home, I have been eating soft foods, but after eating a little bit of food these last two days, I felt as if the food was stuck in my stomach, with a sense of indigestion. I used to have a frequent sexual habit, which has led to dual deficiency of the spleen and kidneys, causing severe symptoms.How can the doctor treat this, and what are the recommended medicinal diets?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's description above, it is inferred that there may be a case of gastric ulcer. After treatment, symptoms such as nausea and vomiting reappear, which may primarily be caused by a diet that is too cold and an endocrine imbalance of the spleen and stomach, leading to poor intestinal digestion and nausea/vomiting. It is best to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for pulse diagnosis and spleen/stomach nourishing treatment. Pay attention to eating as little raw and cold food as possible. For gastric ulcer, avoid spicy foods like chili peppers, onions, and garlic, as well as alcohol and smoking. In addition to hospital treatment, oral medication is required after discharge.
