Superficial atrophic gastritis

With the accelerated pace of life and irregular diet, stomach disease is a common digestive tract disease. Superficial atrophic gastritis is the most common type of chronic gastritis. It is mainly a lesion in the stomach that reduces the glandular lesions. Under gastroscopy, the gastric mucosa has congestion and edema and many erosion symptoms. The most common symptom of superficial atrophic gastritis is upper abdominal pain, and many patients do not know much about superficial atrophic gastritis.

The most common symptom of superficial atrophic gastritis is pain, while other symptoms are mainly caused by abdominal distension. You must pay attention to regular diet and eat more vitamins. The diet should be reasonably matched and physical exercise should be strengthened. You can take reasonable medication. Below we will briefly introduce the clinical symptoms of superficial atrophic gastritis in children.

The clinical manifestations of superficial atrophic gastritis are as follows:

1. The most common symptom is upper abdominal pain, accounting for about 85%. The upper abdominal pain in patients with superficial gastritis is mostly irregular and has nothing to do with diet (some patients feel comfortable on an empty stomach but uncomfortable after meals). It is generally chronic and presents as burning pain, dull pain, or bloating in the upper abdomen. Symptoms are often aggravated by eating cold, hard, spicy or other irritating foods, and in a few cases are related to climate changes. This type of upper abdominal pain is not easily relieved by antispasmodics and antacids.

2. Abdominal distension, accounting for 70%. It is often caused by gastric retention, delayed emptying, and indigestion.

3. Belching. About 50% of patients have this symptom. The gas in the patient's stomach increases and is discharged through the esophagus, which temporarily relieves the upper abdominal distension.

4. Repeated bleeding is also a common manifestation of superficial gastritis. The cause of bleeding is an acute inflammatory change of the gastric mucosa that occurs on the basis of chronic superficial gastritis.

5. Nausea and vomiting: The inflamed gastric mucosa is stimulated by chemical and biological factors, as well as gastric motility disorders and gastric retrograde peristalsis, causing nausea and vomiting.

6. Constipation and diarrhea: Most patients have constipation symptoms, while diarrhea is relatively rare.

7. Others: loss of appetite, acid reflux, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, constipation or diarrhea, etc.

8. Superficial atrophic gastritis lacks typical positive signs. Physical examination may show upper abdominal tenderness, and a few patients may have weight loss and anemia.

The main symptom of superficial atrophic gastritis is upper abdominal pain. Eighty percent of patients will have upper abdominal pain, and the pain is irregular. Abdominal distension, belching and repeated bleeding are also common symptoms of superficial gastritis. It is mainly an acute inflammatory change of the gastric mucosa, which will cause bleeding symptoms, nausea, vomiting, constipation and diarrhea. Very few patients will experience loss of appetite, acid reflux, nausea and vomiting. Therefore, if superficial gastritis is found during physical examination, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time, use medication reasonably and follow the doctor's orders to get good treatment.
