Patient's question:
On September 4th, the gastroscopy showed chronic superficial gastritis with erosion, but now my stomach hurts in a jumping or spasmodic way. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Chronic superficial gastritis is a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by various different etiologies. It is not a tumor. If there are no obvious clinical diagnostic symptoms, chronic superficial gastritis can be left untreated, and consideration can be given to implementing eradication treatment for Helicobacter pylori and symptomatic treatment. Currently, the main approach for eradicating Helicobacter pylori involves the combination of a proton pump inhibitor with two antibiotics, such as omeprazole, clarithromycin, and metronidazole. For dyspepsia, antacids, gastric mucosal protective agents like sucralfate, potassium bismuth citrate, and traditional Chinese medicine can be administered. In addition to active treatment, patients with gastritis need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in their daily lives.
