Patient's question:
I have had stomach problems since I was a child. I am 17 years old this year. This year, a gastroscopy examination revealed chronic superficial gastritis. Will it expand to atrophic gastritis? Does chronic superficial gastritis develop into atrophic gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Refers to chronic superficial gastritis of the gastric mucosa. If it is not paid attention to, chronic superficial gastritis can progress to atrophic gastritis. Currently, most chronic superficial gastritis is diagnosed in patients, so if the condition of gastritis is found to be severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of gastritis. In addition, patients also need to maintain a proper diet and keep a cheerful mood.
