Stomach diseases that recur after regular treatment and cannot be cured for more than two months are called refractory stomach diseases, commonly known as "old stomach diseases" among the people. The condition of old gastropathy is often very complicated, and several diseases are intertwined, such as chronic gastritis complicated with functional dyspepsia; Chronic gastritis complicated with Helicobacter pylori infection, and some even complicated with mental and psychological disorders.
Treating stomach diseases, Chinese medicine pays attention to treating both spleen and stomach.
The "spleen" of traditional Chinese medicine is not spleen, but one of the five internal organs. Spleen is the main means of transportation. Although food is digested and absorbed in the stomach and small intestine, it must pass through the operation of the spleen to reach various organs, so the spleen is the "pusher" to provide nutrition. "Spleen governs internal transport, while stomach governs external reception". The spleen and stomach are exterior and interior, and the lips and teeth are interdependent. Therefore, in the treatment of stomach diseases, Chinese medicine pays attention to "treating both spleen and stomach".
Usually, Tikeshu Yangwei tea can be used for conditioning. Be careful not to get angry often, and be careful not to stay up late often. At the same time, we must pay attention to our diet. Don't eat any irritating food, try to eat less greasy food, or eat more light vegetables and fruits, and don't eat too cold and hard food!
Patients with old stomach diseases usually have a long course of disease, and most of them show symptoms of spleen deficiency. Patients with spleen deficiency often have repeated epigastric discomfort, fullness, dull pain and burning sensation, and the symptoms are more severe after eating, and then there are symptoms such as loss of appetite, belching, acid regurgitation and nausea. According to the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, the methods of invigorating spleen and qi, promoting qi circulation and relieving pain are usually adopted, and the effect is obvious. Traditional Chinese medicine should seek medical advice in time when stomach trouble is still a minor problem, insist on treatment and take medicine according to the course of treatment. Don't stop treatment just because it doesn't hurt, because the symptoms of the disease may not be consistent with the actual situation.
