What are the dangers of long term superficial gastritis

Although superficial gastritis can cause some harm in the early stage, it is a relatively common type of gastrointestinal disease.

But if the harm of long-term superficial gastritis will be greater, and it is difficult to **, so don't think that superficial gastritis is easier to become careless, otherwise you will not be able to afford the consequences.

A few days ago, I just watched a live broadcast of superficial gastritis, so let's talk about it in general.

Superficial gastritis is a superficial inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which is a type of gastritis, which is relatively mild and many people have it. Generally, there is no discomfort, but a small number of patients may experience bloating, acid reflux, nausea, and decreased appetite. The diagnosis of superficial gastritis mainly relies on gastroscopy, in which the lesion tissue is biopsied to determine which layer the lesion reaches in order to determine whether it is superficial gastritis.

What is superficial gastritis?

There are many ** causes of superficial gastritis, and the common ones are the following reasons:

1. Unhealthy eating habits2. Helicobacter pylori infection

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that lives specifically inside the stomach and can damage the gastric mucosa, causing inflammation of the stomach and even stomach ulcers and stomach cancer.

3. Certain medications

Many drugs can damage the gastric mucosa, the most common are antipyretic analgesics, such as aspirin, phenylbutazone, indomethacin, etc., as well as hormone drugs, such as prednisone, methylprednisolone, etc. There are also certain antibiotics, erythromycin, tetracycline, and many more.

4. Psychological factors

This is also a very important one**. The onset of stomach problems has a lot to do with mental unhealth. Long-term mental stress, depression, and anxiety can lead to autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

Gastric mucosal vasodilation is disordered, resulting in reduced blood flow to the gastric mucosa, destroying the gastric mucosa, and leading to inflammation.

Superficial gastritis**

There is a cause to have an effect, and finding the best is the most crucial. Most superficial gastritis can be resolved on its own after removal.

The main methods are dietary modification and medication assistance**. Stomach diseases depend on treatment for three points, and nourishment for seven points. Patients with stomach problems must pay attention to their diet.

Eat three regular meals, and each meal supports seven points of fullness. Be sure to eat more foods that are easy to digest to reduce the burden on your stomach. For example, porridge, noodles, egg custard, chaos, yogurt, various soups, and so on.

Those foods that are difficult to digest must be eaten sparingly, such as fried foods, barbecue, beans, broccoli, onions, etc., and the meat must be stewed, and it is best to cook it thoroughly.

Medications** only play an adjunctive role. Commonly used drugs are antacids, such as omeprazole, lansoprazole, etc.; gastric mucosal protective drugs, such as sucralfate, potassium citrate, etc.; Patients with dyspepsia can take some digestive enzymes orally, such as pancreatic enzymes, yeast tablets, and lactase. Patients with poor gastrointestinal motility can take some gastrointestinal prokinetic drugs, such as domperidone and mosapride.

Also, be sure to keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude and don't be anxious and depressed.

With these measures, most chronic superficial gastritis can be treated without worry.
