The treatment of stomach diseases requires a comprehensive approach, mainly including:
1. Medication: For common stomach conditions such as gastritis and peptic ulcers, acid inhibitors, gastric mucosal protectants, and anti-Helicobacter pylori medications are usually used. These medications can reduce gastric acid secretion, promote repair of the gastric mucosa, and eliminate bacteria that may cause disease.
2. Lifestyle modifications: Avoid spicy, greasy, overly cold, or hot foods; reduce consumption of coffee and alcohol, and quit smoking. Maintain regular eating habits, avoid overeating, eat at regular intervals with appropriate portions, chew food thoroughly and eat slowly, all of which help reduce the burden on the stomach.
3. Psychological adjustment: Significant mental stress and emotional fluctuations can also trigger stomach diseases. Appropriate exercise, good sleep, and relaxation can positively improve stomach conditions.
4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) regulation: Based on Western medical treatment, methods such as Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and cupping can be used to regulate spleen and stomach function and enhance physical health.
In addition, patients should actively cooperate with their doctor's treatment recommendations and maintain healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mindset to promote disease recovery.
