Why biopsy in superficial gastritis

The reason why biopsy is given for superficial gastritis is that there are scattered erosions in the gastric mucosa of the patient, such as punctate erosion foci or striated or lamellar erosion foci, and this type of gastritis is called chronic superficial gastritis with erosion. Because the erosion may be a heterogeneous hyperplasia and other lesions, that is, the doctor highly suspects that there is a cancerous condition, or in order to rule out the existence of gastric cancer, so it will be given to forceps to take the lesion tissue to send the pathological biopsy to assist in confirming the diagnosis. Superficial gastritis is mostly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. If the patient has already had a biopsy, he/she should pay attention to a cold semi-liquid diet in the last two days and avoid hot food, so as not to irritate the biopsy incision and cause bleeding. For the biopsy report, it is recommended that the patient also needs to consult with the doctor consulted, if necessary, need to cooperate with the doctor to give regular treatment.
