Patient's question:
My grandfather is very healthy and also loves going to the park to practice swordsmanship and exercise. However, recently, he always says that after eating, he feels his mouth is bland and lacks flavor. But we all eat the same things as him, 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 General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, reported a follow-up observation of 164 cases of superficial gastritis for 5 to 8 years, during which 34 cases (20.7%) transformed into chronic atrophic gastritis. The etiological factors of chronic superficial gastritis can all become pathogenic and exacerbating factors for chronic atrophic gastritis.
