Question
I frequently burp in my stomach and have a long history of gastritis. In November 2005, I had another attack and underwent a gastroscopy, which revealed chronic superficial gastritis with a positive Helicobacter pylori test. Although I continue to take medication, the treatment effect is not ideal, causing anxiety and pain. I hope to seek expert assistance to analyze my condition, find out the reasons for the lack of effectiveness in long-term treatment, and provide targeted treatment plans. In addition, considering the long-term use of medication, it is suggested that the stomach mucosa be allowed to rest during the analysis stage, while recognizing that the stomach mucosa has a certain self-repair ability. Is this suggestion appropriate? Furthermore, as the pathological report of the gastroscopy is unclear, can I request a clearer report content?
Answer
The recovery process for chronic gastritis may be relatively slow, and patients should not worry too much. They should patiently cooperate with the correct treatment plan and gradually recover health. It is recommended to seek assistance from a specialist physician for a comprehensive analysis of the condition to find the root cause and develop an individualized treatment plan. During the treatment process, it may be appropriate to allow the stomach mucosa to rest and give it an opportunity for self-repair. As for the pathological report of the gastroscopy, please provide clearer content for detailed evaluation and diagnosis. Meanwhile, maintaining a cheerful mood is also very important for recovery from illness. Wishing for a swift recovery!
