How To Stop Recurrence Of Stomach Perforation?

No ambition I am female, 140lb 5'5". 52 years old. I have had four stomach perforations in six years and my docs can't find reason. My white count-platelets are in 600's. I'm so tired its hard for me to go to work and stay focused. I wake up in morning and think of the next time I can lay down. I need this to change and get my life back. What do you suggest?

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If the perorations are in your stomach, possibly it could be due to peptic perforations or due to external irritants such as ingestion of repeated doses of anti inflammatory or any other pain killers. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a proton pump inhibitor drug for a long duration, and to avoid pain killers or any anti inflammatory drug. If it gets repeated, I would not hesitate to refer you to a gastro enterologist for a possible endoscopic evaluation of the intestinal tract.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
