Question 2

I've been struggling with what I think is erosive gastritis for over a year now, and it's really been a constant battle with different stomach issues popping up every day. Is this something that can actually be cured? I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to give lasting relief. Should I be worried about this going on for so long?

Accepted Answer

Erosive gastritis can be treated and managed effectively with the right medications and lifestyle changes. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as omeprazole or esomeprazole are commonly prescribed to reduce stomach acid and promote healing of the stomach lining. Antacids like calcium carbonate or aluminum hydroxide can also help provide relief from symptoms. It is important to follow a proper diet, avoid triggers like spicy foods and alcohol, and reduce stress to help improve the condition. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 3

I've been struggling with a weird issue for the past couple of months and could use some advice on what's going on. After every meal, I feel this strong urge to go to the bathroom, and while the stool seems normal, it still concerns me. To make things more confusing, sometimes after I clean up, that urge comes back, but nothing happens. I'm really getting worried about what could be causing this. Can you shed any light on what might be happening?

I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

Patient is advised x-ray chest and sputum for AFB and mmicroscopy.
