Patient's question:
The gastroscopy examination revealed significant atrophic gastritis in the patient, which has persisted for over a year. After taking Chinese and Western medicine, there has been a noticeable improvement. However, slight carelessness in diet leads to severe stomach pain and mild stomach acid. The bowel movements are frequent, mostly occurring between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. Is it necessary to have regular gastroscopies for chronic atrophic gastritis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to try using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine Aishutang has a very good effect on treating gastroenteritis. For severe patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. Chronic atrophic gastritis is itself a chronic condition that requires long-term care. It is not just about taking medicine, but more importantly, daily lifestyle adjustments. With gastritis combined with acid reflux, traditional Chinese medicine considers it as liver and spleen disharmony, with liver Qi stagnation affecting the spleen.
