Patient's question:

Recently, I've felt that my digestive system isn't doing well. After eating, I often feel nauseous and have a strong urge to vomit. I also notice that my appetite has decreased compared to before, and I frequently experience stomach acid. After a thorough examination, the result was mild intestinal metaplasia and atrophic gastritis. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If there is a repeated occurrence of mild intestinal metaplasia atrophic gastritis, it is recommended that you visit the hospital's department of internal medicine for a follow-up examination. You can undergo a gastroscopy or an X-ray examination to determine the appropriate treatment. Based on the current examination results, you may need to take a course of antibiotics or medications to protect the gastric mucosa for symptomatic treatment, along with proper dietary management.
