Symptoms of superficial gastritis

There are many kinds of common diseases in life. When treating some diseases, the choice of methods is very critical. You cannot arbitrarily choose some treatment methods for any disease. This will not help improve the disease. Superficial gastritis is very easy to suffer from. This type of disease is very harmful to human health. What are the symptoms of superficial gastritis? Many people are not very clear about it.

What are the symptoms of superficial gastritis? There are many symptoms, and there are obvious manifestations after the disease occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to treat it in time after the disease occurs. The following is a detailed introduction to its symptoms.

Symptoms of superficial gastritis:

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

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the symptoms of superficial gastritis. Therefore, after the occurrence of such a disease, timely treatment is needed, otherwise it will cause great harm to one's own health. Moreover, when treating such a disease, the method of choice must also be appropriate. When it comes to improving abdominal distension and abdominal pain, you cannot choose methods arbitrarily.
