Question
For more than ten days, I have experienced pain in the left side of the abdomen around the navel when I’m hungry, which sometimes extends to my back. Although I have been taking digestive medicine, the symptoms persist. Recently, when I’m hungry, the pain has turned into a radiating pain around the navel.
Answer
Based on your description, it may be a duodenal ulcer. It is recommended to stop taking Difen as it has a significant impact on the gastrointestinal tract. It is suggested that you maintain a regular diet, avoid spicy and cold foods, and consider taking omeprazole and bismuth potassium citrate orally. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health!
