Patient's question:
I had the problem of stomach pain when I was in high school. I had seen a doctor once before, who didn't conduct a thorough examination and said it was chronic gastritis. This time, the stomach pain is accompanied by acid reflux, and every time I feel like eating a bit more, there is a reflux situation. I had a gastroscopy done, and it was said that there is reflux esophagitis. Hello, what is the difference between reflux esophagitis and chronic gastritis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it should be considered a manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease as a symptom of chronic gastritis. It is recommended to actively adjust the diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume more rough fiber foods. At the same time, it is important to maintain a regular diet, avoid overeating, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. Oral pantoprazole can be considered for excretion, and oral aluminum hydroxide magnesium for protecting the gastric mucosa should gradually improve the condition.
