Introduction
In general, stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting may be caused by improper diet, psychological factors, indigestion, intestinal flora imbalance, gastric ulcers, and other factors. These symptoms can be improved through dietary adjustments, emotional regulation, and medication. If discomfort persists, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and receive symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance.

Generally, stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting may be caused by improper diet, emotional factors, indigestion, intestinal flora imbalance, or peptic ulcer. These conditions can be improved through dietary adjustments, emotional regulation, and medication. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and receive symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance. The detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Improper Diet

Consuming excessive greasy, spicy, or irritating foods, or eating too quickly or excessively, may increase the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended to adjust the diet and primarily consume light yet nutritious foods such as millet porridge and pumpkin porridge.

2. Emotional Factors

Emotional states such as tension, anxiety, and depression may affect gastric function, causing stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Emotional regulation through activities like drawing or meditation may help alleviate gastric discomfort.

3. Indigestion

Insufficient gastric motility and weakened digestive function can cause food to remain in the stomach for extended periods, potentially leading to stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Pro-digestive medications such as mosapride citrate tablets, cisapride tablets, or domperidone tablets may be taken as directed by a physician.

4. Intestinal Flora Imbalance

Intestinal flora imbalance may be related to factors such as medication, dietary habits, and age. Disruption of the intestinal flora can affect intestinal function and may cause symptoms like nausea, acid reflux, and vomiting. As directed by a physician, medications such as Bifidobacterium triple viable capsules or Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecalis viable bacterial granules may be taken to help regulate intestinal flora and alleviate symptoms.

5. Peptic Ulcer

Peptic ulcers are mainly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or excessive use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These conditions may damage the gastric mucosa, impair digestive function, and lead to symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as colloidal bismuth pectin capsules or potassium bismuth citrate tablets may be used to protect the gastric mucosa.

In daily life, it is important to rest appropriately, maintain sufficient sleep, avoid strenuous exercise, and follow a bland diet. Avoiding the intake of spicy and irritating foods, such as pepper and chili, is beneficial to overall health.

Is the decision to perform surgery for splenic hemangioma based on its location?
Surgical intervention may be necessary in cases where the hemangioma is located in a special position, such as near the splenic hilum, areas with dense vasculature, or adjacent to surrounding organs, as these are prone to external forces, enlargement, compression of surrounding tissues or blood vessels, leading to abdominal pain, bloating, and even risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Even if the hemangioma is in a relatively favorable location, a large tumor volume may impair splenic function due to mass effect, and such cases should also be considered for surgical treatment.

How large does a liver hemangioma need to be to require treatment?
Treatment may be required if the hemangioma is larger than 5 cm in diameter and causes compressive symptoms such as abdominal pain or bloating, or if it is located near the liver edge or in areas with dense vasculature, posing a risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Additionally, even if the hemangioma is less than 5 cm in diameter, rapid growth or significant enlargement over a short period also warrants evaluation and possible treatment to prevent adverse outcomes.

Will hepatic hemangiomas increase in number?
In general, whether hepatic hemangiomas increase in number depends on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's specific condition, the type of hemangioma, and whether interventions have been implemented. Regular liver ultrasound examinations are recommended to monitor changes in the number and size of hemangiomas. Avoid self-administering hormonal medications and actively treat chronic liver diseases. Seek medical attention if symptoms such as discomfort or bloating in the right upper abdomen occur.

Can ibuprofen and compound houttuynia mixture be taken together?
Ibuprofen and compound houttuynia mixture can usually be taken together, but it is important to follow medical advice and use them appropriately. If rashes, stomach pain, or no improvement in symptoms occur after taking the medication, prompt medical attention is recommended. When fever and sore throat result from conditions such as wind-heat感冒 or acute pharyngitis, ibuprofen reduces body temperature and relieves pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

Can ibuprofen sustained-release capsules treat stomach pain?
Conditions that can be relieved are mostly mild to moderate abdominal pain caused by inflammation or spasms, such as primary dysmenorrhea (accompanied by abdominal bloating and cramping pain) or mild inflammatory abdominal pain due to gastroenteritis. Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules alleviate pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing inflammatory responses and pain perception. The sustained-release formulation prolongs the duration of action and is suitable for temporary relief of such clearly identified mild to moderate abdominal pain.

Can you drink alcohol while taking ibuprofen painkillers?
Light alcohol consumption may only be considered after the drug has been completely metabolized. Ibuprofen typically takes 24 to 48 hours to be fully eliminated from the body. If more than 48 hours have passed since the last dose, and there are no symptoms such as stomach pain or liver discomfort, and no underlying conditions like gastrointestinal diseases or liver disorders, it may be safe to consume a small amount of low-alcohol beverage. At this point, there is minimal interaction between the medication and alcohol, resulting in little impact on the body.

In general, whether patients with gallstones experience abdominal bloating depends on the severity of the condition and whether complications have developed. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
