Etiology and treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis

Chronic atrophic gastritis is atrophic gastritis, which may be related to infection, duodenal reflux, gastric mucosal damage, autoimmune disorders and other reasons. 1. Infection When the human stomach is infected with Helicobacter pylori, it may cause atrophic gastritis. 2. Duodenal reflux When pyloric sphincter dysfunction causes bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice to flow back into the stomach, it will cause gastric mucosa damage and cause atrophic gastritis. 3. Gastric mucosa damage Long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alcoholism or eating coarse, high-salt and spicy foods may cause gastric mucosa damage and eventually cause atrophic gastritis. 4. Autoimmune disorder When the body's autoimmune function is disordered, it may also induce autoimmune gastritis. Patients with atrophic gastritis can be treated with anti-infection therapy, symptomatic treatment, acupuncture treatment, etc. 1. Anti-infective treatment Patients with atrophic gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection need anti-infective treatment, which can be combined with clarithromycin capsules, metronidazole tablets, rabeprazole enteric-coated tablets and bismuth potassium citrate granules. 2. For symptomatic treatment, acid suppressants such as omeprazole enteric-coated tablets, lansoprazole tablets, pantoprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets, etc. can be used when acid reflux and heartburn occur. Patients with abdominal distension and early satiety can use gastrodynamic drugs such as mosapride citrate tablets, itopride hydrochloride tablets, cisapride tablets, etc. 3. Acupuncture treatment Patients can also carry out acupuncture treatment on Zusanli, Zhongwan, Weishu and Neiguan acupoints, which can dredge meridians, warm meridians and dissipate cold, regulate spleen and stomach, and help improve discomfort.
