Is chronic atrophic gastritis serious?

Patient's question:

When I was in school, I didn't have the habit of eating breakfast. Now that I'm working, I still don't have the habit of eating breakfast. Recently, I've been experiencing severe stomach pain and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, only to find out that I have chronic atrophic gastritis. For this reason, I'd like to understand specifically whether my chronic atrophic gastritis is urgent.

Doctor's answer:

If there are multiple occurrences of chronic atrophic gastritis, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital affiliated with the local government to undergo an endoscopy-related examination. Treatment should be tailored to your current condition and severity. It is advisable to consume some liquid or semi-liquid foods during the day, strictly avoid overeating and spicy, irritating foods, and it is best to quit smoking and drinking. Maintain a regular schedule, take good care to prevent colds and keep warm, and include more light, soft, and watery foods in your daily diet.
