Question
The patient has been experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms since 14 and a half years old. Multiple checks have not revealed Helicobacter pylori. They have taken medication, which has somewhat alleviated the condition, but they cannot eat garlic or onions as they will experience pain at night. Symptoms appear intermittently, and the pain started again at the age of 18, accompanied by diarrhea and other symptoms. The patient has considered undergoing a gastroscopy but has not done so due to concerns about age and potential bodily damage. Due to training reasons, the patient’s lifestyle is irregular, with long periods of maintaining unchanged sitting and bending postures. The patient inquires about the current gastrointestinal condition, whether they should undergo a detailed examination, and what kind of medication should be taken.
