Xiao Liu has begun to experience symptoms of stomach pain, acid reflux, and decreased appetite in the past two months, and has lost 10 kilograms, which made him very panic. He searched for a lot of information on major platforms online overnight, fearing that he would have cancer.
It turned out that Xiao Liu was diagnosed with chronic superficial gastritis (now called chronic non-atrogenic gastritis). At that time, the doctor prescribed some medicine for him and told him to take the medicine on time and pay attention to recuperation. However, young people nowadays seem to be very at ease with their physical condition. They can take medicine every time they think about it. In addition, they are busy with work and have to go on business trips. They eat irregularly, not to mention that they can take medicine on time.
So, that's why the beginning scene came about. So Xiao Liu came to the hospital again with a heavy mood. During the examination, the most common question was: Doctor, I lost so much weight for no reason. Could it be cancer? The doctor first comforted Xiao Liu not to think about it randomly, and all the results must be decided until the examination results are released. I suggested that Xiao Liu have another gastroscopy review. After the results came out, it was found that the pathological report was chronic atrophic gastritis. Xiao Liu then breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, it was not cancer!
But another new problem began to bother Xiao Liu. He was just superficial gastritis before, but why is it now atrophic gastritis? Is there any difference between the two? Which one is more serious?
Seeing this, the doctor began to give Xiao Liu a simple popular science:
"Chronic atrophic gastritis can develop from chronic superficial gastritis (chronic non-atrophic gastritis). The clinical incidence is higher. In comparison, chronic atrophic gastritis is more serious. In addition to showing chronic atrophic gastritis, your gastroscopy report also indicates that some intestinal metaplasia, the inherent glands are reduced, and the probability of cancer is higher.
Because you had superficial gastritis at first, but you did not take the medicine well. , coupled with your irregular diet, the inflammation has not improved. This will lead to abnormal proliferation of gastric mucosal stem cells and gradually develop into intestinal metaplasia. In addition, since the gastric intrinsic glands are replaced by intestinal epithelial metaplasia glands, the intrinsic glands of the stomach will decrease and atrophy. If treatment is not paid attention to, as the inflammation continues to stimulate, the metaplasia will gradually worsen, and eventually lead to the occurrence of cancer, which may develop into intestinal gastric cancer. "
Xiao Liu was stunned when he heard this person. He never thought that he would be so close to cancer. So, as this is the case, will he get cancer in the next step?
Doctor asks him not to panic, but he needs to be vigilant, and then said to him:
"You are actually quite timely for the review now, and the degree of intestinal synthesis shown by the current report is also mild, and it is still a long way from gastric cancer. In fact, from chronic superficial gastritis (chronic non-atrogenic gastritis) to gastritis, it takes 5 processes: in turn, chronic epithelial gastritis (chronic non-atrogenic gastritis)-chronic atrophic gastritis-intestinal metaplasia-dysplasia-gastric cancer.
You have already had intestinal epithelial synthesis now. It is born, and it is mild. As long as you actively treat and cooperate with daily conditioning, there is still hope that it can be cured. Your weight loss is actually caused by irregular meals. Three meals are irregular, and you are not sure about several meals a day. Either you don’t eat or eat a big meal. If the body consumes too little nutrition, you will naturally lose weight. And you have symptoms of abdominal pain and acid reflux. You can first undergo heat clearing treatment, and then qi regulation treatment in the middle. The later stage is mainly to strengthen the right way."
Xiao Liu Yi heard that he still had hope, his eyes gradually lit up, and he changed his previous dejected attitude, hoping that the doctor could tell him the treatment method. Afterwards, under the judgment of the doctor, Xiao Liu was prescribed relevant drugs and repeatedly told him to take the medicine on time, and to pay more attention to diet and living habits. He came to the hospital for regular review and sent Xiao Liu out of the clinic.
Xiao Liu's story is actually a young man I met during my medical consultation. He is also very handsome. Because he is too young and is only 27 years old, he left a deep impression on me.The article mentions Xiao Liu's treatment principle for chronic atrophic gastritis, which is also the basis for dialecting his symptoms through traditional Chinese medicine.
Chronic atrophic gastritis is divided into many syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine. It is suitable for many patients to experience symptoms of stomach heat, that is, symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, and burning stomach. It is necessary to clear heat first. Drugs such as honeysuckle can be used to clear heat without dryness. At the same time, nourish yin and protect yang, and use drugs such as dendrobium to protect the spleen and stomach. It is generally not recommended to use Atractylodes macrocephala to nourish the stomach, because Atractylodes macrocephala is strong and can easily damage the yin.
Another point that needs to be emphasized is that you cannot use some cold medicines to nourish the yin, and then harm the spleen and stomach. In addition, it is also necessary to use blood-activated drugs. No matter what stage of chronic atrophic gastritis development, blood-activated drugs must always be available. You can also add some yin-nourishing and blood-activated products as appropriate.
In short, the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis should ultimately use medication according to different stages of the disease and look at the disease from a sports perspective. This is also the characteristic and advantage of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation treatment.
