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 fine for a while, but then it started again. Is it true that personality disorders can increase the risk of gastric ulcers by 5 times?Doctor's answer:
Personality disorder, this is a mental illness, while gastric ulcer is a physiological and organic disease. The two have no direct relationship, so personality disorder will never cause an increased risk of gastric ulcer, and there is no need to worry. However, personality disorder also needs to be treated because it can relatively affect his social interactions and overall quality of life, requiring psychological re-adjustment and medication.
