The diagnosis of chronic gastric perforation is primarily based on the patient's clinical symptoms and imaging examinations. Patients with chronic gastric perforation typically experience severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and peripheral ulcers; in severe cases, shock may also occur. It is recommended to actively cooperate with treatment and avoid overeating to prevent triggering gastric perforation. During this period, enhancing anti-infective therapy and maintaining the patient's fluid and electrolyte balance are crucial for recovery.
