Is chronic superficial gastritis serious?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend used to often feel stomach pain, so she would often take stomach medicine. Yesterday, I accompanied her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said she had chronic superficial gastritis. I want to ask if having chronic superficial gastritis is serious?

Doctor's answer:

Chronic superficial gastritis is not serious, but it is also necessary to check the status of Helicobacter pylori. If Helicobacter pylori is positive, a systematic treatment for half a month is required, which helps reduce the recurrence of gastric inflammation. Pay attention to your diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat less greasy and hard-to-digest foods. In fact, it is important to pay attention to abdominal warmth, avoid cold and chill, and do not overeat cold foods. Pay attention to emotional stability and exercise regularly.
