Patient's question:
I have had chronic superficial gastritis for a while. The upper abdominal pain is irregular. I can manage without dinner, but I feel uncomfortable after eating. I avoid cold, spicy foods, as well as other irritating foods, because they tend to worsen the discomfort. I still feel abdominal pain, and there is gas in my stomach with frequent burping. Are there any preventive measures I can take?Doctor's answer:
The prevention of chronic superficial gastritis primarily involves attention to lifestyle and diet, actively preventing and eliminating various blood deficiency factors. The diet should be light, avoiding excessive hunger, overeating, or binge eating. It is important to prevent mental tension, depression, and overfatigue. One should maintain a balanced lifestyle, combine work and rest, and stay optimistic. Additionally, physical exercise should be increased to enhance physical fitness and improve gastrointestinal function. In addition to treating gastritis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to strengthen their constitution and slow down the recovery process.
