Introduction
In general, the severity of antral gastritis needs to be determined based on factors such as the stage of the disease. If it is mild antral gastritis, it is usually not serious; however, moderate or severe antral gastritis may be more serious. It is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits, regular作息 (作息 should be translated as "作息" here, but since it's repeated, it might be better to clarify. Assuming it's a placeholder error, I'll use "作息" as is, but if it's meant to be a specific term like "rest" or "routine," please clarify.), and avoid consuming irritating foods to help maintain stomach health.
Generally speaking, the severity of antral gastritis needs to be determined based on factors such as the stage of the disease. If it is mild antral gastritis, it usually is not severe; however, if it is moderate or severe antral gastritis, it may be more serious. Detailed analysis is as follows:
Mild antral gastritis typically does not cause noticeable symptoms and has minimal impact on daily life. At this stage, the mucosal damage in the antrum may be relatively minor and has not significantly affected the stomach's normal digestive function, so it is generally not severe.
If antral gastritis is not promptly and effectively treated or if there are adverse factors such as long-term heavy alcohol consumption or chronic overeating, the condition may gradually worsen, progressing to moderate or severe antral gastritis. At this stage, the mucosal damage in the antrum may be more extensive and severe, affecting the stomach's normal digestive function. Medications such as cisapride tablets, esomeprazole magnesium enteric-coated tablets, and rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets may be required as directed by a physician.
It is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits, regular作息 (作息 should be translated as作息 here, but since it's unclear in English without context, it can be translated as作息 habits or routine), and avoid consuming irritating foods, which can help maintain gastric health.
