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 my stomach ulcer a complication caused by gout?Doctor's answer:
Gout generally never coincides with the onset of gastric ulcers. Gastric ulcers are usually caused by patients consuming excessive spicy and irritating foods, excessive extremely cold foods, and excessive alcohol consumption. Therefore, individuals with gastric ulcers should follow a light diet, absolutely avoid alcohol, rest at regular intervals, and eat meals on time. They should also avoid 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.
