Patient's question:
I recently felt uncomfortable with my stomach and went to the hospital for an endoscopy. The results showed that I have gastric mucosal prolapse and superficial gastritis. I'm so young to have stomach problems, and I really don't know what to do. Is there any effective treatment for this?Doctor's answer:
Gastric mucosal prolapse is primarily characterized by upper abdominal pain, which often recurs after meals and is typically intermittent. Gastric mucosal prolapse occurs due to excessive relaxation, thickening, and lengthening of the mucosa at the pylorus of the stomach. During the stomach's twisting and contraction, this mucosa is pushed and squeezed, causing it to detach from its original position and prolapse into the duodenum. Treatment should involve consuming plenty of light foods and eating meals at regular intervals with appropriate portion sizes. In addition to active medical treatment, patients with gastric diseases should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep, as sufficient deep sleep is essential for helping them recover quickly from the condition. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you!
