Patient's question:
This morning after eating, my stomach was especially painful, with severe pain that I couldn't bear. It was so bad that sweat was coming out on my forehead. This symptom has appeared once before, and at that time I was diagnosed with acute gastritis. Now I want to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, but I have already eaten. I'm worried they will test my urine. Is it necessary for patients with acute gastritis to have a urine test?Doctor's answer:
Patients with acute gastritis may experience severe pain in the stomach area or symptoms caused by the spread of inflammation. It is advisable to promptly go to the hospital for blood tests and diagnosis, which is relatively safe. Based on the examination results, medication should be administered for symptomatic treatment to control the condition. Daily dietary hygiene should be maintained to regulate the diet, avoid overeating, and consume fewer spicy and irritating foods. Preventing smoking and drinking beer can help prevent acute gastritis, which is a good way to prevent the disease.
