Q I'm going to get a consultation for gastroptosis. What would be good to prepare in advance?
A If you organize when symptoms are severe, your daily meal amount and meal pattern, the medications you're taking, and any barium study/endoscopy results you've received, the consultation becomes faster and more accurate.
Detailed Answer
It helps greatly to note down when symptoms started, when the post-meal sagging/bloating worsens, and how many meals of what amount you eat per day. If you have any digestive medicine/drugs you're currently taking and recent barium study/gastroscopy results, bringing them along enables a more accurate consultation.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Such records become clues to grasp the eating habits and energy state hidden behind the symptoms, and the degree of gastroptosis. The more thorough the preparation, the more precise a treatment direction we can set at the first visit.
