Patient's question:
I had a barium meal 17 years ago and was diagnosed with gastritis and mild gastric prolapse. After treatment, it never recurred until 10 years ago when I experienced dull pain in the lower left abdomen when hungry and felt irritable. For several years, these symptoms reappeared in the spring and summer, but never in the winter and autumn. Now, I'm feeling uncomfortable again this year. Additionally, I have never been overweight; I'm tall and thin. What could be the reason? I would like to ask the experts for advice on how to proceed.Doctor's answer:
Your condition falls under the category of chronic stomach disease, and it is generally difficult for conventional medications to heal it on their own. Standard pharmaceutical treatments can only alleviate symptoms but cannot provide a cure—treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. Through long-term clinical practice in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), some unique treatment methods have been accumulated. It is recommended that you adopt a combination of traditional Chinese herbal medicines such as Hei Fan (Black Alum), Hei Zao (Black Jujube), Hainan Chen (Hainan), Tie Dan Fen (Iron Gall Powder), Hetao Ren (Walnut Kernel), Zhi Zi (Gardenia), Fu Ling (Poria), Sha Ren (Cardamom), Hou Pu (Magnolia Bark), San Ling (Sparganium), Chuan Shan Jia (Rhinoceros Horn), Chen Qu (Bitter Melon), Mai Ya (Malt), Shang Jia (Upper Turtle Shell), Xia Jia (Lower Turtle Shell), Hong Hua (Safflower), Feng Jiao (Propolis), Feng Mi (Honey), and Feng La (Beeswax) for treatment. This approach is fast-acting and highly effective, directly targeting the root of the problem, expelling pathogenic factors, repairing gastric and intestinal mucosa, enhancing the mucosal barrier, improving gastrointestinal function, and ultimately achieving a complete and natural cure for your stomach disease.
