Patient's question:
I visited the Ninth Hospital last year for weakness. After not being treated, my condition improved. But in the past two days, my illness has recurred with repeated stomach pain. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent chronic atrophic gastritis with moderate intestinal metaplasia requires attention to the possibility of malignancy. Since the gastroscopy shows that intestinal epithelial metaplasia has already occurred, it is necessary to act promptly and decide on surgical treatment to prevent further malignant transformation. Moreover, the absorption function of the stomach is almost completely lost, making preservation meaningless. Chronic atrophic gastritis is a disease that is difficult to recover from. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting chronic atrophic gastritis and believe that recovery is possible.
