Patient's question:
Two years ago, I also had gastritis. It was very severe at the time, to the point of vomiting blood. Later, I was hospitalized, and it improved. However, it frequently flares up. It's quite troublesome. This time, it has flared up again, and I haven't eaten dinner for several days. The check-up revealed gastritis and duodenitis. How should I proceed?Doctor's answer:
Duodenitis is a common disease. It has only been encountered since the advent of gastrointestinal fiberoptic endoscopy, and its diagnosis relies on careful fiberoptic endoscopic examination. Duodenitis is an inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the duodenum, classified as primary or secondary, with the former also known as non-specific duodenitis. For patients with high gastric acid and abdominal pain, H2-receptor blockers (cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, etc.) or proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole or lansoprazole) can be administered; alkaline drugs such as Gaigeiping and aluminum hydroxide gel have a good therapeutic effect in alleviating symptoms.
