Intestinal chemosis is the replacement of gastric mucosal epithelial cells by intestinal-type epithelial cells, which is related to long-term chronic gastric mucosal irritation and requires active treatment.
Intestinal metaplasia is intestinal epithelialization, which is related to long-term chronic gastric mucosal irritation caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, bile acid reflux, poor dietary habits, alcohol consumption, etc. The pathological manifestation is that gastric mucosal epithelial cells are replaced by intestinal epithelial cells, such as cup cells. The intestinal epithelialization is often combined with chronic gastritis, especially chronic atrophic gastritis, which is closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer.
Therefore, when gastric mucosa cells with intestinal metaplasia are found and gastrointestinal discomforts such as frequent abdominal pain, abdominal distension, acid reflux, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, etc. are observed, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time, make a clear diagnosis under the guidance of a doctor, and take active treatment to prevent malignant changes.
Intestinal metaplasia should be standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors.
