Patient's question:
I had a bit of gastritis when I was very young because I didn't take care of myself as a child and loved eating raw, cold, and cool foods. I also had irregular eating habits, which led to stomach discomfort now. Eating even a little cold thing makes my stomach hurt, and if I'm hungry and don't eat in time, my stomach still hurts. When my stomach aches, it's very uncomfortable, and I break out in a cold sweat all over.Doctor's answer:
There are chemical or physical stimuli, as well as bacteria or their toxins that can cause it. Chemical stimuli for simple gastritis mainly come from strong alcohol, strong tea, coffee, spices, and drugs (such as salicylate preparations, ibuprofen, phenylbutazone, corticosteroids, etc.), among which acute corrosive gastritis is often caused by swallowing strong acids, strong alkalis, and other corrosive agents. Physical stimuli such as overheating, overcooling, overly rough food, and X-ray exposure can all damage the gastric mucosa, causing inflammatory changes. While eating food contaminated with bacteria or their toxins is the most common cause of simple gastritis.
