Patient's question:
My husband has chronic superficial gastritis, and he has had this condition for several months. Half a month ago, I took him to the hospital for treatment, but his condition hasn't improved much. Recently, his illness has become increasingly severe, and I'm a bit worried. How can this disease be cured?Doctor's answer:
Chronic superficial gastritis is usually caused by damage to the mucous membrane on the surface of the stomach, which can lead to excessive gastric acid secretion, resulting in stomach pain, bloating, and a sense of emptiness in the stomach. Oral antacid medications can be taken for treatment, and an examination for Helicobacter pylori should also be conducted to check for repeated infections. Additionally, anti-inflammatory medications should be taken to complement the treatment.
