Q The endoscopy says the ulcer has healed, but my epigastrium stays bloated and uncomfortable. Can this improve with Korean medicine too?
A Even after the wound heals, the stomach's movement and sensation often become hypersensitive, leaving bloating and pain. Such functional discomfort, hard to detect on tests, is an area where Korean medicine that regulates stomach motility and sensitivity shows its strength.
Detailed Answer
It is not uncommon for the epigastrium to feel bloated or stabbing even after the ulcer site has healed on endoscopy. This is often a functional problem in which old inflammation and wounds have dulled the stomach's digestive movement and made its sensation hypersensitive, which is hard to reveal with tests that look at the surface.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine is accustomed to dealing with functional imbalances that remain even after visible damage heals. We aim to boost motility so the stomach digests and empties food on time, and to calm the oversensitive stomach's response, reducing the discomfort you actually feel.
