The clinical symptoms of superficial gastritis are mild, so they are not taken seriously by patients, but if superficial gastritis is not treated and taken seriously for a long time, it is likely to develop into atrophic gastritis and gastric ulcer. The clinical symptoms include acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, and if they are not taken seriously, they are likely to cause recurrent hyperplasia, which can be serious enough to cause cancer; although superficial gastritis is far from cancer, if the patient has superficial gastritis due to infection with Helicobacter pylori, then eradication treatment for H. pylori is needed first. In conclusion, superficial gastritis is very common and cannot directly lead to gastric cancer, but failure to correct poor dietary habits can aggravate this condition.
