Patient's question:
I am 63 years old and have been suffering from chronic gastritis for over 20 years. Despite repeated examinations and treatments, the condition has not improved. This year, during a gastroscopy, I was diagnosed with erosive gastritis. I kindly request expert assistance for diagnosis and treatment.Doctor's answer:
There are no effective Western medicine treatments for erosive gastritis; they only provide temporary symptom relief and cannot cure the condition, which tends to recur easily. The best approach is to take traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treatment. Our hospital primarily uses oral TCM herbal decoctions, such as Gaoyan Ling No. 1, which have shown relatively good effects. Generally, 1-2 treatment courses can cure the condition, with each course lasting half a month. In daily life, it is advisable to minimize or avoid the use of stimulating and cooling foods or substances.
