There are many causes of stomach pain, such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, and stomach cancer.
The appearance of stomach pain is often accompanied by symptoms such as bloating, heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, and vomiting, often caused by careless eating, emotional discomfort, and exposure to wind and cold. If you have severe stomach pain, persistent attacks, or recurrent attacks, it is recommended to consult a regular hospital for a gastroscopy to clarify the diagnosis to aid treatment.
If it is gastritis, we need to know what triggers are causing its acute attack. If it is caused by wind and cold, eating raw and cold food, we suggest that diet is the mainstay, with light, easy-to-digest, warm food and minimal consumption of raw and cold fruits, etc. We can also use external warming devices to relieve symptoms.
If it is a gastric ulcer, the 13-carbon breath test should be checked for the presence of H. pylori infection, and the diet and lifestyle habits should be changed and treated with acid-suppressing and mucosal recovery medications.
If it is gastric cancer, it is recommended to see a doctor promptly, improve the examination, and follow the doctor’s prescription for individualized treatment.
