Patient's question:
Sister has been on a diet recently, and it's been over a month already. The past couple of days, she's been experiencing stomach pain and took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, which revealed chronic gastritis. What is erosive gastritis? What is chronic superficial gastritis? What are the differences between erosive gastritis and chronic superficial gastritis, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis gastritis and chronic superficial gastritis have certain differences. Most of the mucosa in chronic superficial gastritis exhibits congestion or edema, which is generally mild. Erosive gastritis refers to the recurrence of erosion foci or congestion and edema in the gastric mucosa, which is more severe than superficial gastritis. For treatment, it is usually necessary to test for Helicobacter pylori, and proton pump inhibitors and gastric mucosal protectants may be taken orally when necessary.
