Patient's question:
I am a delivery person from a parcel company. I have been working very hard these days and always go back home late. A few days ago, I felt my stomach wasn't feeling well. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out it was gastritis. I want to ask the doctor what causes gastritis?Doctor's answer:
The inflammation in the patient's gastric antrum may be related to the patient's work, as the patient has been under long-term work pressure and irregular lifestyle habits, including irregular meals. Therefore, in the treatment, the patient should first be advised to have regular meals and avoid overeating. In terms of medication, proton pump inhibitors, mucosal protectants, and gastrointestinal motility drugs can be used to provide symptomatic and supportive treatment to alleviate symptoms.
