Non-atrophic gastritis is a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by a variety of etiologic factors.
70-90% of patients with chronic gastritis have Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, which is one of the main etiologic factors of chronic non-atrophic gastritis. In addition, smoking and other behaviors induce a large amount of bile, pancreatic fluid or intestinal fluid reflux into the stomach, so that the gastric mucosa is damaged by digestive juices, which can also cause chronic non-atrophic gastritis.
Patients mainly manifest epigastric pain or discomfort, bloating, belching, nausea and other typical symptoms. Some patients may also experience symptoms such as weight loss and fatigue.
For the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection, oral medications such as clarithromycin, amoxicillin, omeprazole, and bismuth pectin can be taken under medical supervision. Medications such as trimethoprim maleate, mosapride, cinitapride, etc. can also be used under doctor’s supervision to promote gastric motility and relieve the symptoms of belching and epigastric fullness.
It is recommended that patients with non-atrophic gastritis go to a specialized hospital in time to receive timely treatment after a clear diagnosis.
