Patient's question:
I have a burning sensation in my stomach. This has been going on for quite some time, but I've never had time to see a doctor. Now, finally, I have the time to get checked. The doctor said I have superficial gastritis, specifically chronic superficial gastritis. How can I identify chronic superficial gastritis? Compared to other stomach diseases, is superficial gastritis more severe?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are symptoms of "fire" in the stomach, which should be considered as symptoms of heartburn or gastritis. It is recommended to actively implement dietary adjustments and consider oral medications such as pantoprazole, omeprazole, and domperidone for treatment, which should help alleviate the symptoms.In daily life, it is important to eat more vegetables and fruits, and to avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as foods that are difficult to digest. It is also advisable to maintain a regular diet with three meals a day at fixed times and quantities.
