The difference between erosive gastritis and superficial gastritis lies in the different severity, different pathologic mechanisms and different clinical symptoms. 1. Severity: superficial gastritis is only the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the gastric mucosa, while erosive gastritis is not only the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the gastric mucosa, but also erosion and bleeding. 2. Pathogenesis: superficial gastritis is superficial inflammation of the gastric mucosa, while erosive gastritis is the erosion and damage of the gastric mucosa on the basis of superficial gastritis. 3. Clinical symptoms: superficial gastritis symptoms are relatively mild, often found under gastroscopy, or only abdominal distension, belching (hiccups) (burping), occasional abdominal pain and other symptoms, while erosive gastritis will have repeated gastrointestinal bleeding. If you have erosive gastritis or superficial gastritis, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
