Patient's question:
I have had chronic superficial gastritis for over ten years. When I feel discomfort, I occasionally take medication. Recently, I often experience bloating. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed chronic gastritis with flat erosion. The doctor prescribed some medication for me. I don't understand this condition at all. Friends, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
You have chronic gastritis and often experience symptoms of stomach discomfort. You take medication irregularly, and recently you have had symptoms of stomach bloating. A thorough examination at the hospital, including an endoscopy, revealed gastritis with erosion, which is a type of gastric ulcer. The findings indicate that your stomach lining has been damaged, suggesting that the condition of your gastritis has worsened. It is recommended that you revisit the hospital's gastroenterology department for a check-up. You should use medications to protect and repair your stomach lining under the guidance of a physician. Avoid drinking beer and have regular follow-up endoscopies.
