Patient's question:
I often go to bed in the morning with stomach pain and sometimes nausea. Last year, I had an endoscopy at the hospital and was told I have superficial gastritis. I took Xiang Sha Yang Wei Wan and Si Ji Wei Tai, but I still feel the same way. I'm desperate. How is superficial gastritis treated?Doctor's answer:
Acute gastritis is a common clinical diagnosis symptom characterized by two types of digestive tract diseases, primarily manifested as stomach pain, stomach bloating, stomach acid, and nausea followed by dry vomiting. The main pathological manifestations are caused by various different reasons leading to gastritis of the gastric mucosa. Under gastroscopy, phenomena such as congestion and edema of the gastric mucosa can be observed. Treatment primarily focuses on protecting the gastric mucosa, inhibiting gastric acid secretion, and enhancing gastrointestinal motility. It is recommended that you take bismuth pectin, domperidone, and ranitidine orally for treatment. At the same time, adequate rest should be ensured to prevent overexertion. In fact, having gastritis is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
