Patient's question:
I was about 43 years old when I got gastritis. I thought it wasn't a serious illness, but as time went by, the pain in my stomach became more and more severe, and sometimes I also had symptoms of nausea and dry heaving, which affected my daily life. It got a bit unbearable, so I thought of asking a doctor how to treat gastritis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is necessary to have a gastroscopy examination at the hospital for a thorough check-up to confirm the diagnosis and provide targeted treatment. With a long history of gastritis, there is a possibility of ulcers. Both chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers require medication to be taken according to a prescribed course, and it is essential to pay attention to your dietary and lifestyle habits. If the gastroscopy examination shows no other changes, you can undergo traditional Chinese medicine treatment for a period, which will be beneficial for recovery.
