Q Even after treatment, stress brings the pain back. Can relapse be prevented?
A The key is building up the gastrointestinal baseline resilience that reduces the impact of stress on the stomach. Combining maintenance care after treatment with lifestyle improvements can extend the intervals between relapses.
Detailed Answer
Functional abdominal pain is vulnerable to stress, fatigue, and sleep deprivation, making recurrence common. If treatment is stopped immediately after symptoms disappear, gastrointestinal function often becomes unstable again. Combining a period of maintenance treatment after recovery with stress management techniques and dietary adjustment as habits can reduce the frequency of relapse.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
