Patient's question:
Last year, I had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with chronic atrophic gastritis and reflux esophagitis. The medication helped a lot, and I didn't have any symptoms anymore. But in the first quarter of this year, I started feeling uncomfortable again, and now my condition has mellowed out. The medication isn't working anymore. Should I have another endoscopy?Doctor's answer:
It should be chronic atrophic gastritis, caused by reflux esophagitis. In this case, medication is generally recommended to start treatment and see how it goes. If the condition improves, an endoscopy can be considered. In addition to timely treatment, patients with chronic atrophic gastritis should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life, as sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from the disease more quickly.
