Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 56 years old, with more than 2 years of erosive gastritis. She previously frequently took Omeprazole, which helped control the condition, but this year the symptoms returned (abdominal bloating, stomach bloating, stomach pain, stomach burning, a burning sensation during bowel movements). She has been controlling her diet well, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. Now she is plagued by illness and hopes for a direct treatment method. Can surgery be used?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Based on your description, the condition is already very clear as the symptoms of chronic erosive gastritis.Suggestions for treatment: For this condition, surgical treatment is actually not necessary. Surgical treatment is not suitable for all conditions. It is only recommended if the erosion in the stomach shows signs of malignancy and develops into gastric cancer. In any other case, surgical treatment is not required. For your situation, it is recommended to undergo an endoscopy and a Helicobacter pylori test at the hospital to check for Helicobacter pylori infection. Then, a systematic antibiotic treatment can be administered, which will be more effective!
