Patient's question:
Ask the doctor if sitting in front of the computer for a long time, sometimes sitting there for days on end, can cause gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, irregular eating habits, overeating, and frequently consuming spicy and irritating foods can lead to the recurrence of gastritis in most cases. Sitting next to a computer will not cause gastritis, but failing to properly care for your stomach can lead to it. Superficial gastritis is not severe, and more than half of people undergoing endoscopy for gastric issues are diagnosed with superficial gastritis. Treatment should focus on regular eating habits, consuming more carbohydrates, and foods rich in protein and vitamins. It is recommended to have an antibody test for Helicobacter pylori. If the result is positive, medication treatment is necessary.Doctor's inquiry: For patients, if the gastritis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of gastritis. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
