Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing multiple issues with my stomach, often feeling stomach pain. Yesterday, I had a thorough examination and found chronic superficial atrophic gastritis with warty elevations. I want to know what this condition is about and what I should do.Doctor's answer:
The patient has experienced multiple episodes of stomach pain, primarily due to gastritis. There is a protruding inflammatory lesion in the stomach, and there is a need to be cautious of conditions such as gastric polyps or gastric tumors. If the pain is irregular and the fecal occult blood test remains positive, it is particularly important to undergo regular follow-up gastroscopy and pathological examinations. In necessary cases, consider local treatment of the protruding lesion. It is recommended to focus on a carbon breath test to check for Helicobacter pylori infection. If it is present, treatment should be administered to alleviate the condition.
