Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but then it came back again. How is pyloric stenosis treated?Doctor's answer:
For pyloric obstruction, initial conservative treatment should be provided, including gastrointestinal decompression, aspiration of gastric contents, and administration of supplemental energy and electrolytes. At the same time, it is important to carefully monitor the complete recovery of the pyloric obstruction. If complete recovery occurs, abdominal CT or endoscopy can be performed to examine the cause of the pyloric obstruction—whether it is benign or malignant. After a definitive diagnosis is made, some cases of pyloric obstruction may require surgical treatment.
