Patient's question:
My stomach has been uncomfortable for a long time, and recently I haven't been able to eat dinner. If I eat too much, I feel bloated. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I have superficial gastritis. How serious is this disease?Doctor's answer:
This superficial gastritis is also quite serious, a type of stomach disease. If patients do not receive timely treatment, this condition can affect respiration and the abdominal cavity, leading to bloating. Subsequently, the chest cavity may also shrink, thereby restricting lung respiratory function. Moreover, this disease can also impact normal absorption, causing digestive dysfunction. If not treated promptly, the recurring nature of the disease can also affect the gastric glands.
