Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but it started again. Is my stomach ulcer a complication caused by gout?Doctor's answer:
Gout generally never coincides with the onset of gastric ulcers. Gastric ulcers are most often caused by patients consuming excessive spicy and irritating foods, excessive cold foods, and excessive alcohol consumption. Therefore, individuals with gastric ulcers should follow a light diet, absolutely avoid alcohol, rest regularly, and eat meals on time. They should never experience extreme hunger or overeating. Proton pump inhibitors can be used in conjunction to protect the stomach and reduce acid production. Finally, in daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery from the disease.
