Patient's question:
I usually have a very busy job and often don't eat dinner on time. A few weeks ago, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and after a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I have chronic superficial gastritis. What should I pay attention to in my daily life? Is this disease caused by not eating dinner on time?Doctor's answer:
Gastric diseases are primarily caused by long-term irregular living habits and dietary factors. It is important to avoid spicy and greasy foods in daily life and maintain a light diet. Meals should be eaten three times a day, and it is crucial not to overeat or consume overly greasy foods. The stability of your living and eating habits is key to the treatment. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be adopted for treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral medications should be taken, working in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine. Regular follow-up examinations are also necessary.
