Features: Gastric diseases are one of the most common diseases. As early as 2,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon discussed the causes, clinical manifestations, and treatment of gastric diseases, showing that they were already quite prevalent at that time. With the change in dietary habits and the acceleration of life, the incidence of gastric diseases has been gradually increasing. The scope of gastric diseases is very broad, including both acute conditions such as acute gastritis, acute gastric distension, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as chronic conditions such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric prolapse. Some may manifest as severe pain, while others have recurring symptoms. Some may even transform into malignant tumors, and some can directly threaten life. Regardless of the situation, they will severely affect the lives and work of patients and their families, and bring harm to society.
