Nine out of ten gastroscopies are for chronic gastritis. Don’t be nervous.

Every day, whether we eat normally, or a variety of emotional outbursts, the most damaged organ is the stomach. Stomach is the most pathetic part of the digestive system, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy to the stomach, so we often say ten stomach nine diseases. Through the network to understand the Chinese people’s concern about the knowledge of stomach disease, it turns out that every day there are more than 100,000 views in the query of gastric problems. It can be seen that the common people are highly concerned about stomach diseases, and the most concerned one is stomach cancer. However, the most common stomach disease in China is not stomach cancer, but chronic gastritis. When the average person goes for a gastroscopy, the diagnosis or diagnostic rate of chronic gastritis reaches 80% to 80%. Why is the incidence of chronic gastritis so high? This is because people eat grains and cereals and have emotional ups and downs every day, and are very susceptible to stomach problems. It’s normal to have stomach problems when you’re older In chronic gastritis, the most common is superficial gastritis, followed by erosive gastritis, and then atrophic gastritis. Many elderly people are afraid of atrophic gastritis, thinking that it is a prelude to cancer. In fact, it is not so terrible, because the skin will age with age, the gastric mucosa will also age with age, so don’t be too nervous, a little bit of stomach problems is normal. We say, 20% of chronic gastric disease is atrophic gastritis, will not all become gastric cancer, just become gastric cancer chances are a little higher than the average person. From chronic atrophic gastritis to gastric cancer, it has to go through several processes of intestinalization – heterogeneous hyperplasia – gastric cancer, and the cancer rate is 20~25/100,000, and most of chronic atrophic gastritis will not be cancerous. Most chronic atrophic gastritis patients will not become cancerous. If the treatment is proper and the protective measures taken are good, most chronic atrophic gastritis patients are not problematic. Watch out for high incidence of gastric ulcers in fall and winter The second common gastric condition is peptic ulcer. Some people ask me what a stomach ulcer looks like. I said that mouth ulcers and stomach ulcers are the same nature of the problem, just occur in different parts. Gastric ulcers are very common, some people have done statistics, 10% of the social group will have this disease in their lifetime, and more men than women, middle-aged people are the high incidence of age group, managers are high incidence, fall, winter is more common. Peptic ulcer has its own characteristics, one is bleeding, and the other is cancerous. There was once such a patient, suddenly fainted on the road, brain and heart are not a problem, although there is no abdominal pain symptoms, but still have to consider whether it is because of gastric ulcer caused by massive bleeding, resulting in ischemic shock.
