Introduction
Gastric pit hyperplasia generally does not resolve spontaneously. It is primarily caused by peptic ulcers and typically does not heal on its own after onset. Symptoms may include abdominal bloating, dull upper abdominal pain, as well as nausea and vomiting. Once diagnosed with gastric pit hyperplasia, patients can take medications that inhibit gastric acid secretion and those that protect the gastric mucosa to alleviate symptoms.

It is primarily caused by peptic ulcers and typically does not heal spontaneously after onset. Symptoms may include abdominal bloating, dull upper abdominal pain, as well as nausea and vomiting. Once diagnosed with gastric pit hyperplasia, patients should follow medical advice to take medications that suppress gastric acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa to alleviate symptoms. Commonly used drugs include omeprazole and hydrotalcite.
However, if the condition is severe and symptoms fail to improve with medication, it is recommended to seek timely medical care at a hospital. Under the guidance of a specialist, endoscopic treatments such as laser therapy, electrocoagulation, or microwave ablation may be used to remove the lesions.
During treatment, adequate rest is essential, and dietary adjustments are necessary. Avoid foods that are highly irritating or excessively spicy, such as spicy hot pot, barbecue, fried foods, and animal offal. The diet should primarily consist of light, easily digestible foods.
