Patient's question:
Recently I haven't been feeling well. Sometimes my stool has blood in it, and I experience bloating and stomach pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it's gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). What are the symptoms of GERD in its later stages? How is GERD treated?Doctor's answer:
In the prevention and treatment of this disease, it is important to actively eliminate factors that contribute to dietary management, including muscle weakness, and then use medication to control symptoms. In summary, based on this situation, it is still necessary to go to the relevant hospital for a thorough and careful examination. Refer to the test reports and consult with the attending physician for a serious analysis, thereby more accurately confirming the condition. Then, proceed with the subsequent treatment in accordance with the attending physician's advice. Actively receive treatment in the hospital, pay attention to regulation in daily life, maintain a regular schedule, ensure deep sleep, drink plenty of water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and other stimulating foods, as well as smoking and drinking alcohol.
