How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat antral gastritis?

Antral gastritis is a very terrible disease. It mainly occurs in the gastric antrum. The mucosa of the gastric antrum changes, leading to inflammation of the gastric antrum. Antral inflammation can cause abdominal bloating, indigestion, loss of appetite, and is often accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Well, today, I’m going to introduce the traditional Chinese medicine treatment for antral gastritis. Next, please see the detailed information.

1) Etiological treatment: Eliminating the pathogenic factors is the first factor to be considered in the treatment of antral gastritis. Therefore, you should avoid mental stress, quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, try not to take medicines that irritate the stomach, and prohibit the use of non-steroidal inflammatory drugs that can damage the gastric mucosa, such as aspirin, indomethacin, and phenylbutazone.

2) Quitting drinking and smoking is also part of the treatment: drinking can promote gastric acid secretion and damage the gastric mucosal barrier, which is not good for the disease. Smoking can delay the healing of lesions. The substances contained in tobacco leaves (nicotine) can reduce the tension of the pyloric sphincter, promote bile reflux, and also inhibit the secretion of HCO3- by secretin; long-term smoking can also strengthen the tension of the vagus nerve and promote gastric acid secretion.

3) Diet therapy: Eat at regular times, don’t eat too fast, and avoid being too full or too hungry. Generally, there is no need to follow a strict diet, but you should avoid rough, overly cold, overly hot, and irritating foods such as spices, strong tea, coffee, etc. Patients with severe symptoms during the acute active phase can be given liquid or soft food, and the number of meals does not need to be too many. General patients can gradually transition from soft food to normal diet after their symptoms are relieved. Patients with chronic antral gastritis should have a light, regular, regular and quantitative diet, and avoid overly sour, overly spicy, raw, cold and rough foods.

4) Drug treatment: When pain attacks, atropine, propantheline, belladonna mixture, piperazine, etc. can be used. Although they can relieve pain symptoms in a short time, studies have found that long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs can easily irritate the gastric mucosa and weaken the defense and repair function of the mucosa.

The above is the relevant content about the Chinese medicine treatment of antral gastritis. If you suffer from antral gastritis, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Do not delay. Pay attention to your diet, do not eat spicy food, do not smoke or drink, do not eat hard food, and it is best not to eat desserts.
