Does gastritis require surgery?

Patient's question:

Always after eating, I feel like my stomach isn't being replenished. I don't know exactly what's going on, so I thought of going to the hospital for a check-up. But unexpectedly, the result of the check-up was that I have gastritis. After getting gastritis, do I need surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, surgery is not required if gastritis reoccurs, as long as it is tuberculous. Taking a variety of medications for treatment is sufficient. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary habits. If the Helicobacter pylori test is negative, Omeprazole and gastroprotective medications like pectin can be administered. At the same time, a regular lifestyle should be maintained to prevent overexertion and mental stress. Pay attention to dietary regularity, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
