Features and manifestations of atrophic gastritis

Most of the patients in atrophic gastritis do not have characteristic symptoms and manifestations, and may do gastric examination to discover the lesions, and a small part of them have indigestion. Atrophic gastritis is one of the more common types of clinical gastritis, which occurs due to the atrophy of the stomach glands. Due to the atrophy of the stomach glands, it may lead to a decrease in the secretion of gastric juice, and the patient’s digestive ability is affected, which makes the patient susceptible to abdominal fullness and bloating after eating, pain in the epigastric region after eating, and food that is not easily digested, which can lead to hiccups, eructation, acid regurgitation and other uncomfortable manifestations. Regular digestive examinations are recommended for early detection of abnormal lesions, and gastroscopy can be used to help diagnose the condition. The main treatment is to adjust the diet and use medications that eliminate Helicobacter pylori and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, such as domperidone tablets and compound pancreatic enzyme tablets, etc., under the guidance of a doctor. Drugs should be used under the guidance of a professional physician, and should not be used arbitrarily by oneself.
