Patient's question:
How is erosive gastritis treated? What dietary precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Concept of Acute Erosive Gastritis: Acute erosive gastritis is an acute form of gastritis characterized by multiple erosions of the gastric mucosa, often accompanied by bleeding, and is commonly referred to as acute hemorrhagic gastritis.Clinical Presentation and Diagnosis: Before onset, there may be no obvious discomfort or only mild symptoms of dyspepsia, but these are often masked by the underlying primary disease. The main manifestation is upper gastrointestinal bleeding, with symptoms such as hematemesis or black stools. The bleeding volume is usually small and may stop spontaneously. Diagnosis primarily relies on a history of taking anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., aspirin), excessive alcohol consumption, or a stress state due to severe underlying diseases. Endoscopy can be used for confirmation.
Treatment: Acid suppression and hemostasis. Medications such as cimetidine tablets or omeprazole capsules may be administered.
