Patient's question:
I have chronic superficial atrophic gastritis. How should I treat it? I feel my stomach hurts when I eat, but it hurts even more when I don't eat. If I go to the hospital for treatment, do I need surgery?Doctor's answer:
Superficial gastritis, generally speaking, is non-atrophic gastritis, not atrophic gastritis. If you have atrophic gastritis, it is relatively more serious, and the medication will also be different. Generally, you can consider using bismuth subcitrate and other similar drugs, which are relatively suitable. You can also use traditional Chinese medicine, such as Weitai. These do not require surgery, but you may need long-term follow-up tests.
