Patient's question:
Over ten years of stomach problems, mainly persistent pain and discomfort in the upper abdomen, a feeling of gas bloating, and sometimes sharp pain. During a thorough examination, the only thing found was a gallbladder polyp.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of erosive gastritis primarily involves removing the cause or trigger. Stop taking medications that may cause erosive gastritis, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, iron supplements, and potassium chloride. Additionally, alcohol should be avoided. For erosive gastritis caused by stress due to severe trauma, major surgery, extensive burns, sepsis, or other conditions, the underlying disease should be treated actively. Furthermore, H2 receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors should be routinely administered to inhibit gastric acid secretion. Sucralfate, which has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa, can also be used for treatment. For patients with chronic erosive gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection, eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori should be adopted.
