Thank you for your input....Secondary EGD w/biopsy is scheduled for May 1. We will see.....
Hi there!
Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Possibilities that may need to be considered include gastritis, recurrent/ chronic gastric ulcer etc. Factor that may prevent ulcer healing include stress, hyperacidity, infections, dietary causes, hormonal/ endocrine issues etc. A detailed evaluation to look at possible secondary issues that could complicate the situation would be required in the situation aside a repeat endoscopy and biopsy. Also aside medications aiming at reducing acidity, lifestyle changes, medications that promote ulcer healing and management of secondary causes would be recommended. I would suggest considering a detailed evaluation by a gastroenterologist for suggestion of an appropriate management plan.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
