In general, superficial gastritis refers to chronic superficial gastritis. Patients with chronic superficial gastritis may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, belching, a feeling of fullness, upper abdominal pain, and recurrent bleeding. It is recommended to follow medical advice for symptomatic treatment. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Loss of appetite

In cases of long-term progression of chronic superficial gastritis, damage to the gastric mucosa and abnormal digestive system function can lead to loss of appetite due to various gastric discomforts. Patients are advised to eat easily digestible foods to improve appetite and reduce intake of greasy foods.

2. Belching

Belching occurs due to accumulation of gas in the stomach caused by factors such as insufficient gastric acid and fermentation within the stomach. Treatment may include medications such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, hydrotalcite chewable tablets, or domperidone tablets, as directed by a physician.

3. Feeling of fullness

The gastric mucosal damage caused by chronic superficial gastritis can also affect the digestive system, leading to insufficient gastric acid secretion. As a result, ingested food cannot be properly digested and accumulates in the stomach, causing prolonged feelings of fullness. Symptoms can be relieved with medications such as mosapride citrate tablets, itopride hydrochloride tablets, or Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets, as prescribed by a doctor.

4. Upper abdominal pain

The pain is usually irregular and related to eating, often presenting as diffuse burning pain, dull pain, or distension in the upper abdomen. In rare cases, patients may experience colicky pain radiating to the back. Treatment options include Hericium erinaceus extract granules, amoxicillin capsules, or compound pepsin capsules, used according to medical guidance.

5. Recurrent bleeding

Bleeding results from acute inflammatory changes in the gastric mucosa associated with chronic superficial gastritis, though the amount of bleeding is typically minimal. Medications such as Yunnan Baiyao capsules, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets, or colloidal bismuth pectin capsules may be used under medical supervision to alleviate symptoms.

In addition, symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may also occur. If patients experience any discomfort, they should seek timely medical evaluation and targeted treatment to avoid delays in managing the condition.
