Patient's question:
My grandfather is very healthy and also loves going to the park to practice swordsmanship and exercise. However, recently, my grandfather always says that after eating, he feels his mouth is very bland and lacks flavor. But we all eat the same things as grandfather, and none of us have that feeling.Doctor's answer:
Hello, (1) Continuation of chronic superficial gastritis: Chronic atrophic gastritis can develop from chronic superficial gastritis. Six hospitals, including the People's Liberation Army General Hospital, reported a follow-up observation of 164 cases of superficial gastritis for 5 to 8 years, among which 34 cases transformed into chronic atrophic gastritis (20.7%). The etiological factors of chronic superficial gastritis can all become causative and exacerbating factors for chronic atrophic gastritis.
