When you are hungry but can’t eat anything, consider functional dyspepsia, chronic gastritis, gastric cancer, etc. The main treatments are medication and surgery, and you have to choose the appropriate treatment according to the specific cause. 1. Functional dyspepsia: this is caused by the dysfunction of stomach and duodenum, you can use drugs to promote gastrointestinal dynamics (such as Itopride, Mosapride), digestive enzyme preparation (such as multi enzyme tablets) to improve the digestive function. 2. Chronic gastritis: chronic gastritis is a chronic inflammation of gastric mucosa, most of which is related to the infection of Helicobacter pylori, with symptoms such as discomfort in the middle and upper abdomen, nausea, etc. It can be treated with quadruple therapy to cure Helicobacter pylori, and it can be improved by using medicines promoting gastrointestinal dynamics (e.g., Itopride and Mosapride). 3.
