Gastritis is generally divided into two main categories: chronic non-atrophic gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis. It is usually diagnosed by gastroscopy, and the treatment plan is determined based on the presence or absence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Also, it is necessary to develop good eating habits. It is important to eat on a regular schedule with controlled portions or small, frequent meals, and chew slowly and thoroughly. Try to avoid binge eating or extreme hunger or fullness. For staple foods, soft rice or noodles are generally recommended, accompanied by fresh vegetables, etc. As for meat, it should be prepared in a light and easy-to-digest manner during cooking, and it is best to avoid too raw, greasy, spicy, or stimulating foods. Additionally, maintaining a good mood can also be helpful.

Is gastritis serious?

Chronic gastritis includes three types: chronic non-atrophic gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, and special types of gastritis. The severity of chronic gastritis depends on the type of gastritis and the extent of the lesion. If the chronic gastritis is chronic non-atrophic gastritis, and the gastric mucosa only shows hyperemia or edema without erosion, then it is relatively mild. With treatment, it can be cured in a short time. If chronic gastritis presents with erosion, and the nature of the erosion includes moderate to severe intestinal metaplasia or atypical hyperplasia, or if there is atrophy of the intrinsic gastric glands, then the condition is relatively severe. Treatment is relatively complicated, and there is a certain risk of cancer transformation.

Does gastritis require infusion?

Gastritis is divided into acute gastritis and chronic gastritis. Common types of chronic gastritis include chronic superficial gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis, which do not affect eating. Treatment plans are determined based on diagnostic results and whether there is a Helicobacter pylori infection. Treatment can be achieved through oral medication, so in these cases, infusion therapy is generally not necessary. If it is acute gastritis, accompanied by severe vomiting and inability to eat, this situation often requires infusion therapy, such as proton pump inhibitors for infection control, and supplementation of water and electrolytes to achieve therapeutic effects.

What are the symptoms of gastritis?

Chronic gastritis, under gastroscopy, can usually be divided into two main categories: chronic non-atrophic gastritis, also known as superficial gastritis, and chronic atrophic gastritis. The primary cause is related to Helicobacter pylori infection, although there are other related factors, such as exposure to cold, poor dietary habits, medication factors, and more. As for the symptoms of gastritis, there is individual variation. It can manifest as either excessive gastric acid or poor gastric motility. Excessive gastric acid can present as upper abdominal pain, heartburn, and acid reflux burn, among others. Poor gastric motility may lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating in the upper abdomen, and poor appetite.
