Patient's question:
I have had a stomach problem for four or five years. It doesn't hurt or itch, but I don't eat much for dinner. Some people say it's due to a weak spleen and stomach. It has happened many times. When I was in university, I was tested positive for Helicobacter pylori. Am I suffering from atrophic gastritis?Doctor's answer:
According to you, you have had a stomach problem for 5 years, poor appetite, and weight loss. You tested positive for Helicobacter pylori, and despite many treatments, the effectiveness was poor. It may be chronic gastritis with Helicobacter pylori. You may not have been re-examined after treatment. As for your concern about how you developed atrophic gastritis, I suggest you have an endoscopy to check the condition. We should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the stomach disease does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
