Patient's question:
Hello, I was diagnosed with superficial atrophic gastritis through an endoscopy. Is it related to Helicobacter pylori? What medication should I take?Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to use traditional Chinese herbal medicine such as Hei Fan (Chinese mangane), Hei Zao (black jujube), He Tao Ren (walnut kernel), Zhi Zi (frangipani), Fu Ling (poria), Sha Ren (cardamom), Hou Pu (cinnamon bark), San Ling (sparganium), Chuan Shan Jia (Chinese pangolin), Chen Qu (rice bran), Mai Ya (malt), Shang Jia (upper tiger bone), Xia Jia (lower tiger bone), Hong Hua (safflower), and Chen (unknown herb). It is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
