Patient's question:
Because my life was irregular in the past, and I didn't eat dinner at the normal time, it led to me having stomach problems for over ten years. The doctor suspects I have chronic superficial gastritis, and I often experience bile reflux as well. How should I stabilize and relieve this condition? Does anyone have any suggestions?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis with bile reflux can easily lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients often experience symptoms such as heartburn, retrosternal pain, cough, acid reflux, sore throat, and others after defecation. Medication treatment primarily involves prokinetic agents and proton pump inhibitors, which enhance gastrointestinal motility and reduce gastric acid secretion. Additionally, it is important to avoid irritating foods during daily life and not lie down immediately after defecation. Do not eat anything two to three hours before bedtime.
