Patient's question:
I am from Nanping. I was treated at Wuyishan City Hospital. I have had stomach pain for two to three years. This time, when I went to the hospital for stomach pain, the doctor performed an endoscopy and said it was gastric erosion. Besides congestion and edema, what treatment can help my stomach pain improve?Doctor's answer:
Gastric erosion refers to superficial ulcers limited to the gastric mucosa. Their depth does not exceed the muscularis mucosae, and some believe it is an early or pre-stage of gastric ulcer. However, it should be noted that not all gastric erosions progress to gastric ulcers. Generally, gastric erosion leading to upper gastrointestinal bleeding is referred to as acute erosive gastritis, also known as hemorrhagic gastritis or acute gastric mucosal lesions. Sometimes, the duodenal mucosa may also exhibit erosion, causing abrasions.
