Dr. Pham Van Hoai - Hoang Mai, Vietnam

Yes. Many common digestive conditions can be assessed and initially managed online, including gastritis, acid reflux, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), mild food poisoning, bloating, and stomach discomfort. I review your symptoms, medical history, diet, and available test results to provide advice, treatment plans, and recommendations. If warning signs are present (severe pain, bleeding, dehydration, high fever, or persistent symptoms) I will advise more detail

Please share your symptoms (pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, reflux, diarrhea, constipation, fever), when they started, severity, and triggers. Include bowel habits, recent meals, alcohol use, travel history, medications, allergies, and past illnesses. If available, send reports such as blood tests, stool tests, ultrasound, endoscopy, or prescriptions.

Diagnosis online is based on detailed history-taking, symptom patterns, diet review, and any reports you provide. I may ask you to check temperature, hydration, or describe abdominal tenderness. If your condition cannot be safely assessed online, I will advise in-person examination, imaging, or specialist referral.

Your diet and medical history are very important. I review eating habits, spicy/fatty foods, alcohol, caffeine, hydration, and food intolerances. I also consider past conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, liver disease, gallstones, diabetes, surgeries, and current medications to create a safe treatment plan.

Yes. Keeping a simple diary is helpful. Record meals, bowel movements, pain, bloating, reflux, nausea, fever, and possible triggers like stress or certain foods. This helps identify patterns, monitor recovery, and improve treatment decisions during follow-up.

I provide follow-up reviews to monitor progress, adjust treatment, and reassess symptoms. Dietary advice may include hydration, bland meals, reflux-friendly foods, low-fat options, avoiding triggers, and gradual return to a normal diet. If needed, I may recommend further tests or specialist care.
