Hello doctor. Please tell me if I burp a lot after eating, within 2 hours after eating I burp up to 3 4 times is it a symptom of indigestion and is it due to stomach disease? Before that, I had hp (+) bacteria and congested gastric mucosa, so the doctor said that there was no need for treatment because it did not cause stomach ulcers and tumors, I also drank a lot of stomach gel. . Thank you doctor

Hi Doctor, 3 days ago I swallowed a beer can opener, the size of the tip of my thumb, the shape is round and not sharp. I went to the hospital for an esophagoscopy, but the doctor said it was in the stomach and not in the esophagus. I've been out for three days now, but I haven't been able to come out, I'm worried about getting caught again. My health is stable, sometimes a little pain in the abdomen below the navel. Please let me know what else I have to check and if the object I swallowed will self-destruct or not. I thank you.

Hello doctor. I encountered the following symptoms: often abdominal pain (when I eat full and when I eat a lot or eat less), the pain is sometimes dull, sometimes it hurts every 5 minutes, but it has to be three or four times like that. I don't know if it's related or not, but every time I get my period, my stomach hurts a lot. Unlike others, she was in pain until she sweated, her hands and feet were shaking, and she couldn't even sit or stand. In daily life, I often skip breakfast and eat irregularly. Please consult your doctor for help. I thank you.
