Patient's question:
My friend has been experiencing constipation recently, which causes stomach pain. It feels like there's something blocking in the stomach, but they still feel hungry and want to eat. However, they dare not eat because eating without a bowel movement just blocks the stomach and causes pain. What should they do? Doctor, what could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is possible that it could be, gastritis in the gastric antrum or duodenal ulcer with significant tension. It may also be accompanied by unhealthy functional absorption. Therefore, it is currently recommended that you take oral medications to inhibit gastric acid secretion and medications to enhance gastrointestinal motility. It is also suggested to maintain a regular diet, eat meals at regular times and in fixed quantities, and avoid extremely cold foods, such as cold salads and carbonated beverages, which are beneficial for the excretion of digestive glands and more conducive to absorption.
