Patient's question:
My girlfriend has been feeling stomach pain recently, sometimes even to the point where she has to lie down. Today, I accompanied her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and we found out that she has superficial atrophic gastritis. She is now too afraid to eat whatever she wants, for fear of a relapse. I want to know how to treat superficial atrophic gastritis.Doctor's answer:
Chronic superficial gastritis is a common type of gastritis. When superficial gastritis recurs, appropriate medication should be used for symptomatic treatment based on the situation. If it is also accompanied by atrophic gastritis, then medication should be implemented in coordination to promote the restoration of the gastric mucosa. Generally, after the occurrence of gastritis, symptomatic treatment with medication is primarily used. If it is also accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection, then antibacterial treatment should be implemented in coordination.
