Is moderate chronic non-atrophic gastritis in the antrum severe?

Moderate chronic non-atrophic gastritis in the antrum is generally not serious.

This condition is usually detected during a gastroscopy, when changes in the gastric mucosa are observed. It is commonly caused by excessive stomach acid or Helicobacter pylori infection, leading to localized inflammation. The gastric antral mucosa becomes irritated, resulting in congestion, swelling, or erosion. Patients often experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, loss of appetite, bloating, or abdominal pain. Since the gastric antral mucosa has a certain capacity for self-repair, most patients gradually improve with active treatment.

Although moderate chronic non-atrophic gastritis in the antrum is not severe, it is recommended that patients promptly follow medical advice and receive treatment to prevent disease progression and increased treatment difficulty.
