What medicine is good for atrophic gastritis?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What kind of medicine is good for atrophic gastritis?

Doctor's answer:

Atrophic gastritis is mainly due to a lack of stomach acid, insufficient acidity, um, abnormal excretion of gastric mucosal cells, leading to increased or decreased gastric acid secretion. Therefore, patients with atrophic gastritis should use acid-reducing drugs as little as possible, mainly for symptomatic treatment, such as promoting blood circulation, appropriate use, and eating more acidic foods, such as vinegar. Atrophic gastritis is prone to carcinogenesis, so it is necessary to undergo regular follow-up gastroscopy and pathological examination when necessary.
