Patient's question:
In March, an endoscopy revealed a positive Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection with stomach pain. What is the meaning of superficial gastritis?Doctor's answer:
It should be caused by the drug resistance of Helicobacter pylori and the patient's compliance. Helicobacter pylori infection is a major causative factor of chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer. It is recommended to complete the course of treatment as prescribed, take medication regularly, adopt a combination therapy approach, and pay attention to oral hygiene. Medications for treating Helicobacter pylori include Weifuchun tablets, amoxicillin, metronidazole, clarithromycin, tetracycline, doxycycline, and furazolidone, among others.
