Patient's question:
On the 10th of last month, I had a gastroscopy examination and was diagnosed with chronic non-atrophic gastritis with erosion and reflux esophagitis. The pylorus was negative. Recently, I've been experiencing a symptom of feeling hungry quickly. I usually eat dinner at exactly 12:00 PM, and by 3:00 PM in the afternoon, I'm already quite hungry. I generally don't eat a large portion for lunch, just a small bowl. What could be the reason for this? I searched on Baidu and found that diabetes and hyperthyroidism could cause these symptoms? I haven't had thorough examinations for diabetes or hyperthyroidism. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Currently, I'm eating less and getting hungry quickly, with the main issue being chronic gastritis! It is recommended to have a thorough check-up at the hospital for blood sugar, hemoglobin A1c, thyroid function, etc. Based on the examination results, a clear diagnosis should be made, and symptomatic treatment should be provided, hoping this will be helpful to you!In addition, during the treatment of gastritis, besides medication, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet and keep a positive and cheerful mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of gastritis.
