1. Medical Treatment with Drugs
Both Chinese and Western medicines are selected for treatment to alter the internal environment of the patient's stomach, soften, dissolve, and reduce the size of the gastric bezoar, enhance gastric motility, and facilitate its natural expulsion. For vegetable gastric bezoars, the use of sodium bicarbonate has a long history. The commonly prescribed oral dosage is 3-4g each time, three times a day, with 7-10 days constituting one course of treatment. An equal amount of effervescent agent can also be added simultaneously to enhance the therapeutic effect and shorten the course of treatment. Some practitioners advocate the addition of 0.5-1g of pepsin or trypsin on the basis of the aforementioned treatment, or alternatively, chymotrypsin can be used.
