Patient's question:
Mother has been feeling stomach bloating and acid reflux for the past half month. Sometimes, she experiences pain after eating. A detailed endoscopy at the local hospital revealed superficial gastritis, squamous dysplasia and metaplasia in the lower esophagus, and the doctor said it could potentially turn into cancer. I would like to ask how to prevent gastritis?Doctor's answer:
You want to understand the condition of your mother's stomach disease. Your mother is not currently suffering from stomach cancer, but "squamous dysplasia of the lower esophagus and phosphatization" has the potential to develop into cancer, with a certain degree of transformation probability. However, since this condition has been detected, preventive measures can be taken to prevent it from becoming cancerous. For the patient, if the symptoms of stomach bloating are severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of stomach bloating. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
